From [Unusable board link - edit later] A good lesson for the prototypers here, if you intend for your design to be replicated, make sure the third-party devices have multiple sellers, the more the better, so that if one goes down, your design isn't instantly impossible to build. Even then, you should have backup designs in case the exact model is not being sold anymore. I learned that the hard way with a design in 2023, and with Galatea I have had it happen twice, once before Galatea v1 with the speaker, and recently with the Pleasure Unit, the latter because it had some other sellers, but not too many. TL:DR, with third party devices in open source designs, make sure there are several sellers easily found, across multiple websites.

>>37666 My words turned out to be prophetic, since these new Tariffs will raise the price of certain sources. I myself am slightly modifying Galatea to have a "Tariff-proof" design.

MaidCom0 is coming along well. The plan is for her shell to be 5 pieces that fit within 200mm^2 build plate area. Though, I could get it to 175mm^2 without her ass and tiddies. Everything else fits well within 175mm^2, so I'm considering making them add-ons. To keep myself on track, she will be limited to the feature set of Femisapien scaled to 150cm with skates rather than walking. I find the limitation both frustrating and inspiring. My inner engineer always wants to push boundaries, but they're also why MaidCom is years behind schedule.

>>37668 >MaidCom0 Oh cool!! I personally think there's a lot of wisdom in this approach, Kiwi. The old adage: >"Start smol, grow big." is just as true today! :^) Keep moving forward. Cheers.

++reposting end++ >>37668 Nice!

>>37519 Not yet, but I'm thinking of making an "advertisement" for her

>>37520 Please do this, Anon.

I deleted the original Galatea thread to make room for new threads, such as Galatea v3, since all the v1 files were all lost.

Backup 1/2

Backup 2/2

How can an AI be trusted? How could we prove that our AI is trustworthy? How would demonstrate that people should put their trust in the works of our members? What methods would we use to convey this to a wide audience? I still plan to post videos of myself with a prototype MaidCom once she is presentable. We need more, we need widespread belief that our way is safe, trustworthy, and worthy of public use. We also need to prove that Claude, Gemini, and other competing AI are less worthy. We need to open a path where FOSS AI is the mainstream. We need to do so fast, strike before they can regulate us into obscurity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUkHhVYv3jU

>>34287 Wow! That video was really cool, Kiwi. Thanks for sharing it! :^) <---> As to your question. Again, wow! That's a really, really tough proposition, Anon. BTW You sure this wouldn't be better in the Safety/Security, or Cognitive, or Philosophy, or Ethics/Morals thread(s)? I trust no man (or woman obvs, lol). Not even myself. God alone do I really trust with everything (or so I claim lol; how can one really know until 'everything' is put to the actual test? :^) But that's a matter of my own faith in God's deeds and words (which are innumerable!) So I think the >tl;dr here rightly is: We can't. Probably not the answer you wanted, but it's the one you need -- and it saves me literal years of fruitless searching (just like the fabled King, lol!) <---> OTOH, we have no excuses not to make our works as trustworthy and reliable as we can. OTOOH, this type of goal costs: time, money, effort, intelligence. These things tend to be in short supply in many Anons lives. But all can be either gained or supplied -- except time.

So, I tried out Hedras new version. I was quite sceptical, but it's stunningly better than what they gave me recently for free and before that on a paid plan. It's quite expensive (~7$ for one video), while I'm not signed up to a plan right now. I can't upload the video here, since it has 26MB. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3AewFvA5lY4

>>37522 WOW! That looks really good, NoidoDev. Its crafting the design of the body now quite nicely. I'm well-pleased that you're investigating this. If you can somehow figure out a way to save out the 3D meshes its generating during this process that would be stellar. Cheers, Anon. :^)

https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/87.html#972 >Call to action on a website is simple, just have a "download here" button, preferably with a lot of details, ex. "Galatea v3.0.1 3D Printing Files". Yes, that makes sense GreerTech. >For an advertisement tagline, it can be as simple as "Build her today!", "The cure for loneliness", "Always there to support you", etc... Also seems sensible. This one can be a lot more subtle & respectful, I'd think, as well. As Greentext anon put it, finding concise ways to remind Anons/Joe-Sixpacks why they want (& need!! :D a robowaifu in their homes is a skill we'll need to develop here. >tl;dr We already have an 'embarrassment of riches' as to good reasons, we'll need to pare that down to just the essentials for our our prop & ad-copy. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>37326 You are in the wrong thread. This one here is about modelling for parts not "AI Video Generation". The thread for "art" is >>17763 and propaganda general >>19295.

>>37434 Heh, OK. Maybe you're right, NoidoDev.

The head I heavily modified for Galatea 2.1 and onward https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/anime-head-pratice-free-download-3fd6a9ccdcaf444aaf01d55b58ea50d8

>>37506 Yeah, that's pretty nice, Anon. GG GreerTech, cheers. :^)

New simple program for rapid prototyping From the website; CaDoodle is a local drag-and-drop CAD application for Linux (Arm,x86), WIndows (X86), and Mac (Arm,x86) and ChromeOS. Users models are stored locally, and the application runs entirely locally. CaDoodle has a drag and drop interface that is cross-trainable with TinkerCAD. 1. Drag and drop shape 2. Group and ungroup 3. Solid and Hole status 4. Undo of operations 5. Stretch and move handles 6. Library of examples 7. Nearest Surface snappping Key Improvements over Tinkercad * Boolean operations such as Hull, Intersect, and XOR * Inkscape as the sketching tool is much more powerful sketching tool * Blender integration brings Sculpted elements easily into CaDoodle

>>37563 I don't have cameras yet. I was considering maybe using a mini smartphone for the eyes, and have the camera on the side (phone front camera). I could also go for the medabots method. Maybe another idea is a hidden webcam for a multimodal AI in my PC.

>>37566 Yeah, I'm putting a bit more focus on utility for now. I'm more concerned with not getting so utilitarian that I just end up with mobile robot arms.

Are newer images just broken on this board? New no bully. My own design choice would be concave eye socket creating the illusion of eye contact while the iris is still able to serve as the opening of camera. I am not keen on creating expressive facial motions if I had issue reading and reflecting with them in the first place. No moving parts. Pic related. Occasionally they use less concave or concex ones for poses looking away from the camera.

>>37597 There was some file data lost. We're working on resolving that over the next couple days, Anon. BTW, we're all meeting over on our bunkerboard r/n, pending that exact resolution. <---> Nice work, Anon! Cheers.

>>37597 >My own design choice would be concave eye socket creating the illusion of eye contact while the iris is still able to serve as the opening of camera. Smart idea. It would allow for unique eye designs as well.

>>7758 >Okay, I'm used to drawing on paper and I'm learning how to use a graphics tablet. You don't have to wait till then Anon. Just take pictures of your work and post it. Be sure to scrub any exif data from them! >As soon as I have some quality I can share I will pass it on Look forward to it.

>>7796 ayyyyyyy my memedata that I have been giving all my life without knowing it kek how is it removed? >also Do I upload it to my thread or in which thread do I post it?

>>7814 Please use your own thread Anon. Your GPS data is obviously the most important tag to remove. There are many other tools related, but this seems to be commonly used. https://metacpan.org/pod/exiftool You can usually just install it from your Linux package manager.

It's been almost 5 years since I started talking here again, and I've resigned myself to making the forum in Spanish again, but the 4chan exodus is affecting https://8chan.moe/, causing it to crash every 2x3 times, making it impossible to create it... >also Chobitsu, do we come back here or rebuild in the bunker?

>>37591 Hi TAW, nice to see you here again! Right now, we're still on the bunkerboard, awaiting some file restorations during the next two days. https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/55.html#765 Then we'll all return here. Cheers. :^)

>>37177 Excellent! Thanks very much, Licht. Great resources. Cheers, Anon. :^)

>>36591 1. I'm calling bullshit unless it's some distilled model trained on deepseek r1 outputs 2. r1 1776 is where it's at for now at least and it's kinda in that transition stage from current gen to old. >>36602 Truth is: we'll have to either pull off a DS-type coding effort >cast your solution strictly in the form of 3D vectors + transforms as well as develop something similar enough or we'll never just compete on training compute, this will even stop robowaifu@home projects >>36920 Why not look at Raptor computing platforms to host the brunt of the software and have it remotely connected to the robot? There are already uncensored models with insane parameter counts and ultimately we'll be forced to upscale our efforts if we want to get the means to build robowaifus, since clearly industry is trying to make closed-source supply for desperate demand

what are you about and who are you??

>>37450 Hello monarch, welcome! Hopefully you can find out what we're about here : ( >>3 ). We are Anonymous.

Of course the main board comes back online when I go to use the buncker chan.

>>37436 >Well, AI scare has always been a thing. So has drunkenness & debauchery. Doesn't mean I won't call it out when I see it, especially in my own life or those around me! :^) Also, while Mary Shelley's world may have had a few serious people truly considering the reality of such a zombie, I'm not aware of it. And today we have a globalist cabal trying to brainwash our entire culture into jumping through every hoop they desire. Certainly not the case back in that woman's day (and clearly Globohomo Big-Media didn't exist in any type fashion for manipulating others in such compelling & immersive ways -- with such expansive reach -- as today). <---> The >tl;dr here from my perspective is simply this: >Don't make light of the threats to your own, personal, very life & limb & liberty * such anti- propaganda to the masses represents. By participating in the very thing that threatens (((their))) status-quo of feminism (+ all the follow-on pozz thereto: especially & particularly their very ability to hold onto power within the now-pozzed west), you have already been deemed by them as 'the enemy'. If you don't believe me, then just wait. * I predict this will become all too clear to everyone here over the next 20 years or so (after which time the kikes will have clearly lost this battle; men will have their robowaifus, if the Lord is willing). >ttl;dr Greedy, violent men have never willingly allowed their little empires to be dissolved without a fight. Robowaifus becoming a dominant, global reality represents such an existential threat to their (((systems))). ---

Following related shows and movies are on YT right now. I haven't checked them out completely, and the quality might be a bit lower than other sources. Some are shows and I link the first episode, but others might not be there anymore. Look for the playlist. I mainly wanted to post "No Game No Life Zero" which I yesterday peeked into again, and could hardly resist to watch it again. No Game No Life Zero: https://youtu.be/Mz3hFjnySiA Casshan Robot Hunter: https://youtu.be/3aUXR9Ds33s Geno Cyber was also about a robot girl, I think, though of human origin: https://youtu.be/8R5dONwsm2g Chobits: https://youtu.be/lGOAT4_td0M Chibits: https://youtu.be/0Yq8HDCN3kI Utchikomatic Days: https://youtu.be/8x5DT_SSV5o Tachikomatic Days: https://youtu.be/udTiXTFanq4 Saturn 3 (Classic, though male robot and very machine like, and it's doomerist): https://youtu.be/hWDGVHlIUsk A Boy And His Dog (no robots, but kinda MGTOW movie): https://youtu.be/5BDxqhI9qDw Collossus: The Forbin Project (audiobook, doomerist): https://youtu.be/OwwOCg0e98I Yokohama Shopping Log (Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou OVA 1-2): https://youtu.be/_3_dBxBi84I

>>37523 Thanks, NoidoDev! Cheers. :^)

I saw Ex Machina the other day and it was hot garbage. It could have made for an okay episode of The Outer Limits or something, but was stretched out to 100 minutes with an annoyingly slow pace and everyone acted stupid by the end, even the robots. >>37523 >Casshan Robot Hunter: https://youtu.be/3aUXR9Ds33s[Embed] I watched through basically everything with Casshern recently. The original 70's series, Robot Hunter, the live-action movie, but the only thing I couldn't bring myself to sit through was Sins, which was pretentious and boring as hell, but actually had female robots. Robot Hunter had one of the robot general from the original series gender-swapped, but that was it. The live action movie didn't even have robots, just some kind of BS stem cell zombies!

>>37581 Hi Anon. Just for the moment, we're all over on our bunker board. Cheers. https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/55.html#55

>>37549 That's astounding. God designed a supercomputer beyond our wildest fantasies, and make it fit into a bowling ball, and made it run on the power of 4 smartphones

>>37551 Very well-put, Anon, >That's astounding. It truly is. Beyond imagination, really.

>>37549 So basically a robowaifu with an organic brain would be a baby youd have to raise

>>37556 Assuming it was a fully organic brain then yes, but if computers were used to help it train you could accelerate the training time table. Keep in mind biocomputers are brain cells on a microelectrode array. Gene editing might also help speed things up.

>>37556 Roughly-speaking -- all else being equal -- yes. --- However, there's much more to the human soul than simply our brains! While we can simulate this missing sekrit sauce with an amalgam of various techniques for our robowaifus (and btw quite-satisfactorily for the average male or child, I deem), yet we'll never create that 'spark' of humanity that makes us, well, human. No natural means at our disposal can provide that invisible illumination that radiates from all real humans. >tl;dr Its complicated! :^)

>>37406 >why bother making it look anything like a person? To fulfill the mission of /robowaifu/ ofc. Even if you had your camera eyes and fully functional humanoid body, the practical thing to do is to make just a robot and call it a day. The answer is: we're not a corporate/academic robotics development team. We make our own semi-artistic vision of a robotic companion. It's like telling Pygmalion "why not carve a table, that's far more useful?"

>>37408 >To fulfill the mission of /robowaifu/ ofc. >It's like telling Pygmalion "why not carve a table, that's far more useful?" That's pretty well-put IMO, GreerTech.

>>37408 >>37409 I feel like I'm getting the least charitable interpretation of everything I've posted. It was a criticism of using humanoid robots for non-waifu purposes, like that maid cafe robot. And for WaifuOS, I think we can do far better!

>>37421 >It was a criticism of using humanoid robots for non-waifu purposes, like that maid cafe robot. It was so clear, I guess. Also maid cafes exist, and they feature cute women. You don't have to go there, but others will, because of the aesthetic and experience. Waifu like robots can take such jobs and power away from women, and they can do something else.

>>37421 >I feel like I'm getting the least charitable interpretation of everything I've posted. I'm not aware of having done this, Anon? Regardless, my apologies if my replies have somehow seemed insulting to you. Thanks for your inputs here on /robowaifu/ ! Cheers.
