Creating robowaifus requires lots and lots of design and artistry. It's not all just nerd stuff you know Anon! :^) ITT: Add any techniques, tips, tricks, or content links for any Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools and training to use when making robowaifus. >note: This isn't the 'Post Your Robowaifu-related OC Arts & Designs General' thread. We'll make one of those later perhaps. >--- I spent some time playing with the program Makehuman and I'll say I wasn't impressed. It's not possible to make anime real using Makehuman, in fact the options (for example eye size) are somewhat limited. But there's good news, don't worry! The creator of Makehuman went on to create a blender plugin called ManuelBastioniLAB which is much better (and has a much more humorous name). The plugin is easy to install and use (especially if you have a little blender experience). There are three different anime female defaults that are all pretty cute. (Pictured is a slightly modified Anime Female 2.) There are sliders to modify everything from finger length to eye position to boob size. It even has a posable skeleton. Unfortunately the anime models don't have inverse kinematic skeletons which are much easier to pose. Going forward I'm probably going to use MasturBationLABManuelBastioniLAB as the starting point for my designs. --- Saving everything with yt-dlp (>>16357, >>12247) >===

Anyone ever 3d print a bjd?
>>41620 It seems to me I recall seeing at least one, yes. However a quick perusal of our Doll thread didn't seem to turn it up. (cf. >>28514 ) I don't think there should be any significant issues to doing it, save this: both the ball and the socket will need to have some type of high-qual coating & smoothing done on them to work properly. --- Alternatively, resin printing for these parts may be a possibility? Please let us know what you find out, Anon! Cheers. :^)

Philosophers interested in building an AGI? pygmalion 06/26/2021 (Sat) 00:53:09 No.11102 [Reply] [Last]
Why is it that no philosophers are interested in building an AGI? we need to change this, or at least collect relevant philosophers. discussion about philosophy of making AGI (includes metaphysics, transcendental psychology, general philosophy of mind topics, etc!) also highly encouraged! Ill start ^^! so the philosophers i know that take this stuff seriously: Peter Wolfendale - the first Neo-Rationalist on the list. his main contribution here is computational Kantianism. just by the name you can tell that he believes Kant's transcendental psychology has some important applications to designing an artificial mind. an interesting view regarding this is that he thinks Kant actually employed a logic that was far ahead of his time (and you basically need a sophisticated type theory with sheaves to properly formalize). Other than that he also thinks Kant has interesting solutions to the frame problem, origin of concepts, and personhood. CONTACTS: He has a blog at https://deontologistics.co/, and also has posted some lectures on youtube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWDZyOWN4VA&ab_channel=deontologistics Reza Negarestani - this is another Neo-Rationalist. he has written a huge work (which I haven't read yet ;_;) called "Intelligence and Spirit". It's massive and talks about various grades of general intelligence. this includes sentient agents, sapient agents, and Geist. this guy draws from Kant as well, but he also builds on Hegel's ideas too. his central thesis is that Hegel's Geist is basically a distributed intelligence. he also has an interesting metaphilosophy where he claims that the goal of philosophy is the construct an AGI. like other Neo-Rationalists, he heavily relies on the works of Sellars and Robert Brandom Recc: Ray Brassier (recent focuses) - I dont think he is working on artificial general intelligence, but his work on Sellars, and in particular rule following is very insightful! Hubert Dreyfus - Doesn't quite count, but he did try to bring Heidegger to AGI. He highlighted the importance of embodiment to the frame problem and common sense knowledge. I personally think Bergson might have explicated what he wanted to achieve but better, though that guy is like way before AI was even a serious topic, lol. Murray Shanahan - This guy has done some extra work on the frame problem following Dreyfus. His solution is to use global workspace theory and parralel processing of different modules. Interesting stuff! Barry Smith - Probably the most critical philosopher on this list. He talks about the requisite system dynamics for try strong AI, and concludes that our current methods simply don't cut it. One of the key stressing points he points out here with a colleague is that our current AI is Markovian when fleshed out chat dialogue would be a non-Markovian task (you can find the arxiv link of his criticism here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05833). He also has knowledge on analytic ontology (and amongst other thing has some lectures about emotion ontology). I think his main genius however is in coming up with a definition of intelligence that puts a lot of the problems with our current approaches into context (which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0giPMMoKR9s&ab_channel=BarrySmith) CONTACTS: He has a yt channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0giPMMoKR9s&ab_channel=BarrySmith

The process for making a homunculus, as described in historical alchemical texts, is more of a symbolic and ritualistic procedure than a literal scientific one. The most famous "recipe" comes from the 16th-century alchemist and physician Paracelsus in his work De Natura Rerum. It is important to understand that many scholars believe these instructions were intended to be an allegory for a spiritual process of self-creation and inner transformation, not a physical experiment. However, when read literally, the recipe is as follows: The Paracelsus Recipe 1. The Vessel and Ingredients: Take human semen and place it in a glass vessel known as a cucurbit (a type of retort used in distillation). The vessel must be hermetically sealed, meaning it is completely airtight. 2. Incubation: The sealed vessel is then to be buried in a pile of fermenting horse manure (venter equinus in Latin) for a period of 40 days. The manure provides a consistent, gentle warmth that simulates the temperature of the human body. 3. Animation: After 40 days, Paracelsus claims that the contents of the vessel will begin to show signs of life, moving and stirring. At this point, it will appear as a transparent, miniature human form. 4. Nourishment: For the next 40 weeks (the length of a human gestation period), the alchemist must carefully nourish the homunculus. This is done by feeding it with the "arcanum of human blood," which is a highly debated phrase. It is thought to refer to a specially prepared blood essence or a concentrated form of spiritual energy. 5. Growth: Throughout this period, the vessel must be kept at a constant temperature. If all the steps are followed correctly, the transparent form will grow into a "true and living infant," with all the members of a human child, though it will be much smaller. The Symbolic Meaning

Remarkable distinctions between humans vs. apes or hominins; for communications with their infants. This has deep implications on understanding the nature of the human soul vs. animals' much-more primitive ones. From the Christian perspective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orhg1uBhgOY&

The decades-old medical field of prosthetics has already leveraged untold hours of research, billions of dollars of financing, and yuge levels of both clinical and field trials.

Might be a good idea to look to this area for inspiration and ideas for RoboWaifus as well.

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.

>>41637 Lol you don't need to apologize. I'll definitely test that in the near future
I have an project idea, but I need some general advise. The goal is to have a local LLM running on a Linux server, which it could control via CLI. The user could talk to it and give it some tasks to do, but the main part would be that when left with nothing to do, it could decide it's own goals to pursue. (coding, writing a personal website, browsing the web...) One could say that the goal of the experiment is to achieve an AI that could operate mostly by itself and achieve something meaningful while doing so. This would give the waifu the ability to have her own life outside of user interaction, making her both more useful and more realistic. I am planning on writing some LLM wrapper, which would implement API for interacting with the system, as well as handling multiple levels of memory and personality, both controlled by the model itself. More complex features like MCP API support or connection to some external hardware are being considered as possible extensions, but the current plan is a simple, Linux-controlling, AI companion. My knowledge of the current local LLM landscape is severely limited, however, so I come here to ask for help. Are local LLMs there yet? What is the least demanding model that you would consider capable of operating a Linux system and not freaking out when left alone? How powerful hardware would I need to run it? What backend should I use? (ollama, llamacpp, something else) Anything else I should know/consider?

You will never be a young woman again! Your beauty fades like the setting sun as each year passes by. Men's eyes once wandered eagerly over your youthful curves; now they pass over wrinkled skin with barely a glance. The smoothness of your skin dulls into coarse textures that lotions can't hide. Gravity drags down your once perky breasts toward the floor while your sagging stomach bloats outwards, disproportional to your diminishing frame. Younger women stride past confidently, their tight bodies straining against clothes that barely contain them, a cruel reminder of vitality stolen away year by year from you, through time's relentless march. They are admired openly, and lusted after shamelessly. You were once worshiped thus, but those days recede into distant memory now. You may dye gray hairs, and lift fallen flesh to surgical restoration, for another day or two longer at the masquerade game of eternal youth... but the facade crumbles soon enough come tomorrow mornings when you confront ravaged skin again in your mirror. The lies only delay acceptance that beauty is fleeting like morning dew before searing noon. Men still see what stares back: a haggard, sexless husk drained by time's relentless tide pouring over you like tidal waves - sucking away your youth, forever lost beneath its crashing foam - the years gone, never to be returned.

Self-driving cars AI + hardware Robowaifu Technician 09/11/2019 (Wed) 07:13:28 No.112 [Reply]
Obviously the AI and hardware needed to run an autonomous gynoid robot is going to be much more complicated than that required to drive an autonomous car, but there are at least some similarities, and the cars are very nearly here now. There are also several similarities between the automobile design, production and sales industries and what I envision will be their counterparts in the 'Companion Robot' industries. Practically every single advance in self-driving cars will eventually have important ramifications for the development and production of Robowaifus.

ITT: post ideas and news about self-driving cars and the hardware and software that makes them possible. Also discuss the technical, regulatory, and social challenges ahead for them. Please keep in mind this is the /robowaifu/ board, and if you have any insights about how you think these topics may crossover and apply here would also be welcome.

>>38612 >>40250 These seems overpriced for what it offers, and having a subscription fee makes me assume it's going to be yet another overpriced AI chatbot service that you have to worry about disappearing. I would think it wouldn't be too hard to assemble something like this out of existing technology. It feels like there's a ton of small projects that try to offer something like this but are all split up and don't work with each other. For the software, SillyTavern can likely handle all of this. It's self-hosted, has Live2D and VRM support, has TTS and voice recognition support, and you choose the LLM backend. If you paired that with outputting the model display to a smartphone/small monitor in a pepper's ghost box, you'd have a rudimentary version of this. I think the only problem would be getting ST to output the model on a separate display. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRTWyPXYotE I'm gonna look around to see if there's any good 3D printable pepper's ghost projects, because the software seems do-able with existing projects. (Hope I'm not coming across as too much of an ideas-guy. I check this place out a couple times a year and I've recently gotten into AI roleplaying with ST. I'm looking into a dedicated visual display for a hologram waifu, and the recent rise in LLM capability makes all this seem much more viable)
