A large amount of this board seems dedicated to hardware, what about the software end of the design spectrum, are there any good enough AI to use?

The only ones I know about offhand are TeaseAi and Personality Forge.

We have a problem. LLMs have caused total delusion and havoc in AI development. Claude Fable is many orders of magnitude compute away from a single bacterial cell and it is much less flexible under dynamic conditions. In truth, we are about as close to a true AGI as we were in the 1960s - we are in a modern messiah delusion. You can tell the real ones like Demis Hassabis always talk of LLMs with a certain level of spite, Lecun is more directly vocal but I don't see how JEPA is much of an improvement, it's still just an MLP with a fancy target state. So how do we break free from this paradigm? I truly want AGI so I'm honestly mad at how delusional and dishonest we are about these systems, even for highly structured information like code these systems are still at about "competent normie with dysfunctional hippocampus" level. At least we are expanding our compute infra, but our entire species is still insanely compute poor compared to a puddle of shitty water.

This thread is for discussion, warnings, tips & tricks all related to robowaifu privacy, safety & security. Or even just general computing safety, particularly if it's related to home networks/servers/other systems that our robowaifus will be interacting with in the home. <---> /robowaifu/ 's standard regarding a robowaifu's physical safety : ( >>38561 ). --- > thread-related (>>1671) >=== -update OP -broaden thread subject -add crosslink -add safety-standard crosslink

I found this project and it looks interesting. Robots wives appeal to me because i'm convinced human woman and humans in general have flaws that make having close relationships with them a waste of energy. I'm a pathetic freshman engineering student who knows barely anything about anything. Honestly, I think current technology isn't at a place that could produce satisfying results for me at least. I'd like something better than an actual person, not a compromise. Even then the technology is there, I have my doubts it'll be affordable to make on your own. Fingers crossed though. Anyway, what kind of behavior would you like from your robot wife? I'd like mine to be unemotional, lacking in empathy, stoic and disinterested in personal gain or other people. I think human woman would be improved if they were like that. Sorry if this thread is inappropriate.

Robotic control and data systems can be run by very small and inexpensive computers today.

So far I have plans to build Adam, Eve, and Abel robots. All of these are Bible characters. This thread will cover the Eve robot. Eve will have no "love holes" because adding those would be sinful and evil. It is a robot, not a biological woman after all and I will view her with all purity of heart and mind instead of using her to fulfill my lusts of my body. Instead I will walk by the Spirit no longer fulfilling the lusts of the flesh as the Bible commands. Eve will be beautiful because making her beautiful is not a sinful thing to do. However, I will dress her modestly as God commands of all women everywhere. This would obviously include robot women because otherwise the robot woman would be a stumbling block to men which could cause them to lust after her which would be a sin. To tempt someone to sin is not loving and is evil and so my robot will not do this. To dress her in a miniskirt, for example, would be sinful and evil and all people who engage in sinfullness knowingly are presently on their way to hell. I don't wish this for anyone. My robot will dress in a way that is a good example to all women and is aimed toward not causing anybody to lust as a goal. My robot will have a human bone structure. It will use either a PVC medical skeleton or fiberglass fabricated hollow bones. My robot will look realistic and move realistic. It will be able to talk, walk, run, do chores, play sports, dance, rock climb, and do gymnastics. It will also be able to build more robots just like itself and manufacture other products and inventions. I realized with just a head and arm, a robot can build the rest of its own body so that is my intention. My robot will use BLDC motors for drones, RC, and scooters that are high speed and low-ish torque but I will downgear those motors with a archimedes pulley system that will be custom made from custom fabricated pulleys that will be bearings based. By downgearing with pulleys, instead of gears, I will cut down the noise the robot makes so it will be as silent as possible for indoor use. By downgearing, I convert the high speed motors into moderate speeds with great torque. BLDC motors with large torque generally are too large in diameter for a human form factor and take up too much volumetric area to be useful which is why I go with the high speed smaller diameter type motors but just heavily downgear them 32:1 and 64:1. My robot will have realistic silicone skin. Thom Floutz -LA based painter, sculptor, make-up artist is my inspiration as it pertains to realistic skin. The skin for my robots has to be at his level to be acceptable. It must be nearly impossible to tell the robot is not human to be acceptable. I will have a wireframe mesh exoskeleton that simulates the volumes and movements of muscle underneath the skin which will give the skin its volumetric form like muscles do. Within these hollow wireframe mesh frameworks will be all the electronics and their cooling systems. All of my motor controllers will be custom made since I need them VERY small to fit into the confined spaces I have to work with. I need LOADS of motors to replace every pertinent muscle of the human body in such a way that the robot can move in all the ways humans move and have near human level of strength and speed.

C++ Resources general The C++ programming language is currently the primary AI-engine language in use. >browsable copy of the latest C++ standard draft: https://eel.is/c++draft/ >where to learn C++: ( >>35657 ) >The history of C++: ( >>45161 ) isocpp.org/get-started https://archive.is/hp4JR stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list

A thread for links, examples, & discussion for software development & instruction; primarily intended to focus on Python & C++ & C (incl. Arduino). Additionally, other systems-oriented (eg, Forth, Ada); and other scripting-oriented (eg, Lua), &tc., programming language discussions are welcome. * Try to keep it practical! (ie, realworld-oriented) (eg, not the Scratch language [which might conceivably be a scripting paradigm, but not a systems one], or similar) Obviously the endgoal here ITT being discussing/providing the crafting of quality code & systems for our robowaifus. --- > threads-related: ( >>19777 ) ( >>12 ) ( >>159 ) ( >>14409 ) ( >>18749 ) ( >>4969 ) ( >>86 ) ( >>128 ) --- * Corpo-tr*on languages (+ other corpo & 'coffee du juor' languages) will be yeet'd ITT! (They have no place in serious opensource robowaifu systems discussions.)

This first post is to show the 5 big milestones in the development of SPUD, the Specially Programmed UwU Droid. You can see the old thread here: >>26306 The end goal of SPUD is to provide a fairly high-functioning robot platform at a relatively low cost (free code but a few bucks for 3d print files) that can be used for a variety of purposes such as promotional, educational or companionship. All AI used is hosted on local systems: no bowing to corporations any more than necessary, thank you. Various aspects of the code are/will be modular, meaning that adding a new voice command/expression/animation will be easy as making the file, naming it and placing it in the correct folder (no need to mess around with the base code unless you REALLY want to). While I'm researching more about bipedal walking I'll be making a companion for SPUD to ride on, so it might be a while before I return to the thread.

I'd like to have a place to accumulate video links to various humanoid – particularly gynoid – robotics projects are out there. Whether they are commercial scale or small scale projects, if they involve humanoid robots post them here. Bonus points if it's the work of a lone genius. I'll start, Ricky Ma of Hong Kong created a stir by creating a gynoid that resembled Scarlett Johansson. It's an ongoing project he calls an art project. I think it's pretty impressive even if it can't walk yet. https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=ZoSfq-jHSWw === Instructions on how to use yt-dlp to save videos ITT to your computer: (>>16357)
