Just wait til someone puts a llm in a fuck machine , looking at you lovense brand.

P.s. my company mapped the female orgasm from the neuron trigger and are rolling that into a toy that automaticallly just lol. Ceo is female. Women in stem are great. I get to actively talk about penetration and it be welcome.

Shit is wild

u/WorkingInAColdMind 22d ago

That automatically just laughs out loud? Is this a toy for a woman or a man, cause I already get enough laughs during sex

u/3pointonefourfloppy 22d ago

Sorry, the toy automatically adjust usage and activity based on the user. Like a very intelligent lovense or wevibe that also has biometric tracking and built for womens health. Im just a dev on the team. Im the only male -.-

u/Grow_away_420 22d ago

The concept is already applied in a lot of robotic laparoscopic instruments and works very well. They just don't last very long and probably have about 5% of the tendons this hand uses.

u/Infamous_Delivery476 22d ago

Yea there’s quite a few companies making these robotic hands but Linkerbot is considered a market leader and doing a huge IPO in HK. Their company sucks but they are the biggest. Same way unitree is the largest robot maker but there are definitely better players out there.

u/Ronalderson 22d ago

When I see this kind of thing all I can think about is when (or if it is already) will this kind of technology be used to make prosthesis that function almost as well as the real body part. This along with some form of neural interface.

2

u/SkettiNoodur 22d ago

Rapidly advancing field.

In 2023, a neuroscientist was able to "feel" a robotic hand grip a steering wheel and mimic driving with a brain-computer interface (https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/biological-sciences-articles/bionic-hand-sensation)

In 2026, a prosthetic hand you can "feel" and operate based on touch and several programmed positions based on various tasks you might be using with only a slight delay. A few different companies do this to varying degrees of how well they replicate a real limb. The top of the line are close to being nearly the same as having a new hand/arm/leg, on the lower end this one is so affordable they are available on medicare; granted; in a very limited basis due to how complicated the manufacturing is (https://www.psyonic.io/ability-hand)

Very likely that within 5-10 years getting a fully functional prosthetic for arms and legs will be affordable enough and functional enough to fully restore function.

Now let’s put an AI in that pup and make sure it’s scared to death of being powered down! We should have it with eight arms and like, built in MK19’s. I don’t know why exactly, but it feels right.

And voila! We have a murder-android from the classic science fiction story, “For the love of god, don’t ever build a murder-android!”

What a fascinating modern age we live in!
