Would a robot waifu spoil your artificially womb-grown son? Would it be necessary for your son to experience true adversity and have to purchase thier own waifu bot to gain the understanding that the world doesn't care for him to truly appreciate a robot waifus' love? I'm looking into a future where young men don't have to be self concious because they lack traits that traditionally allow them to find a human partner. That prospect, while real to us, may be alien to future generations of men who never had to overcome that adversity.

>>38048 I've been discussing the topic at length with GPT to see if I can ground my thoughts on the matter. Instead, I've just ventured down a philisophical rabbit hole. The general sentiment of the AI (one that I share) is that adversity for adversity's sake isn't necessarily beneficial. I'm not better than the boomers that came before me that insist If I'm not "working hard", I'm a failure. While there can be value from labor, labor, unto itself, does not have an inherent value outside that which we assign (an arbitrary metric). GPT gave me this slop for your response- "Fair point. There’s value in learning that the world doesn’t revolve around you. But if we’re just tossing people into the grinder and calling it ‘growth,’ we’re not forging character—we’re just toughening hides. Growth requires not just adversity, but reflection, community, and space to process it." A point I'd argued with GPT regarding my skepticism of assigning a bot to a child during their development was thus- "While there will be plenty of guardrails, I can see humanoid bots being the "universal distraction" for the lazy parent, not having the patience to attend to a child and assigning the bot to the child the same way modern humans hand off tablets to their toddlers."

Lemon Cookie EnvelopingTwilight##AgvQjr 04/28/2025 (Mon) 21:51:57 No.37980 [Reply]

The original thread can be found here: https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/595.html --- Welcome to the Lemon Cookie thread, The goal of Lemon Cookie is to create a framework where a synthetic "mind and soul" can emerge through a "LLM as cognitive architecture" approach. This thread exists to collect feedback, ask for help & to document my progress. First I am going to try to give a high level overview of how this cognitive architecture is envisioned and the ideas behind it. I have spent time looking at cognitive architecture work, in the field there is now a consensus on how the mind works at a high level. An important mechanism is a "whiteboard", basically a global temporary memory that all the other systems read in and out of. Then there is different long-term memory systems that react to and add content to the whiteboard. Along with memory pattern matcher(s)/rules work on the content of the whiteboard. A key thing to consider is the difference in philosophy that cognitive architecture projects have, the intelligence is considered to emerge from the entire system. Compare this to LLM agent work where it's considered the intelligence is the LLM. My feelings on the general LLM space are conflicted, I am both amazed and really disappointed. LLMs possess an incredible level of flexibility, world knowledge and coherence. But everything outside of the model is stagnant. It's endless API wrappers & redundant frameworks all slight permutations on RAG & basic tool calling. I will believe that LLMs are misused as chatbots, simply put their pattern matching and associative power is constrained by chat format and shallow tooling. In the Lemon Cookie Cognitive Architecture so far here are the important aspects: 1. Memory is difficult. I do not think there is a singular data structure or method that is able to handle it all, several distinct types of memory will be needed. So far I plan for a PathRAG like system and a "Triadic Memory" inspired system for external associations (this is missing in most LLM solutions). 2. LLM as Kernel, The LLM's context window is the Whiteboard and has a REPL like mechanism. It holds structured data and logic in scripting-like format so it's both LLM & Human readable while staying easy to parse & allows for expressive structured data. The LLM's role will be to decompose data and make patterns and associations explicit as executable statements. 3. The language has to be LLM/CogArch-centric. There is a thousand ""agents"" that give LLMs a python interpreter as a tool. The two need to be more tightly coupled. Scripted behavior via pattern matching, The whiteboard is a bag of objects, this allows for programmable pattern matching (think functional programming like Haskell). It's also important to allow the LLM to observe code execution and to be able to modify state and execution flow. Data in languages have scoping rules, so should LLM context. Etc... I will go into more depth about the language in another post. 4. Another important system is the "GSR" Generative Sparse Representation and it will be a first class language & runtime type, This also needs its own post. But in general I am inspired by two things, "Generative FrameNet" paper where an LLM & an embedding model is used to automatically construct new FrameNet frames. The second source is "Numenta's SDRs"/"Sparse distributed memory" this representation has a lot of useful properties for memory (Please watch the videos under the "What the hell is an SDR?" segment in my links list for an easy introduction.) I think SDR unions & SDR noise tolerance will be especially useful. 5. A custom model, For all of the above to work well, a model will need to be fine tuned with special behaviors. I do want input on this. Baking facts & behaviors into LLM weights is costly, creating bloated models that are hard to run or train (why memorize all the capitals?), while letting authors gatekeep truth and impose "safety" detached from context. Blocking role-play "violence" or intimacy isn't protection: it's authors hijacking your AI companion to preach at you. Externalizing behaviors via whiteboard pattern matching shifts control: stabbing you in-game can be funny, but a robot wielding a knife isn't. Maybe you want intimacy privately, but don't want your AI flirting back at your friends. When put together I think this will be able to host a kind of synthetic "soul", In a living being what we call a personality is the accumulated associations, learned behaviors, beliefs and quirks molded by a unique set of experiences. I hope this will be true for this system too.

I found this paper on "control vectors". These, as I understand it, takes the LLM and focuses it into paths you want. After these things are huge and if you can get the LLM to concentrate in the direction you want that would be a big step. So I had some comments on how to big picture make, or a start, to get them to do this BUT write the control vectors based on your verbal , or txt, interactions with the LLM. Anyways it might be something to think about. Training these to do exactly what we want, and not what we don't want, is, I think, a big hurdle. So as a part of the language have hooks for control vectors. >>31242

>>39159 I finished the paper. Ehhhhh, it looks good and bad at the same time. I think it got some good big picture stuff but I'm not sure about the rest. Though I must admit much of the last of it is above my head. One thing I really, really think is if it is at all possible you should find some language that you can use the already built in resources to define things needed in your language instead of writing your own you will be way ahead of the game. There's just too damn much detail to write this stuff from scratch. An example of biting off more than you can chew. I think a huge problem with Red Programming language is that he decided to write it such that the OS GUI functions were to be based on the different libraries on each different OS instead of using the already done GUI called VID. VID could have been modded to make it a little more modern looking without too much trouble. I mentioned this and I think it really pissed him off, but I think I was right. There's just to damn much in the various OS's GUI libraries to wade through it all AND write a whole new Rebol at the same time. I think this held him up a great deal. My thinking was if you could bootstrap the present GUI, then, later you could always add in the GUI based solely on the individual OS's GUI libraries. The way Rebol is set up it would just be a plug in.

Maybe its just """me and my fast-lightnin' mind""" talking, but yes, it certainly seems so to me personally.

Good thinking. That's on a much-more feasible scale for a talented individual, I think. I myself hope to create a DSL wrapper of sorts for RW Foundations code: primarily as a way to ease/ensure-effective-support-for safe, standardized & encompassing scripting interfaces to our robowaifus (for a variety of other languages like, eg, Python & Lua). Kind of a Scripting Abstraction Layer over the underlying Executive/C4 realtime systems code. I predict this can eventually even be extended out to providing realworld, 'embodied' interfaces for LLMs, STT<->TTS, OpenCV, etc., into our robowaifus. :^) <---> >I really do hope that my choice of D does not upset him too much, I understand why he picks C++. Lol, no not at all. Though it is a bit discouraging to me that after almost a decade's dedicated-effort on my part trying to help newcomers here to learn the language, I still dont have.a.single. regular C++ collaborator here on /robowaifu/ with me. Literally no takers at all, by appearances. I'm sure RW Foundations would be vastly-further along today if someone (even just one complete beginner; b/c it would've kept me motivated) had been working closely with me on it for say, a couple years now. Eventually, I just got burnt out by the discouragement + the pressures of full-time student life (3rd degree's -worth in a row, so far). BUT... I haven't abandoned the RW framework itself! Just the fruitless "C++ language-teaching" part. (Grommet won -- his 'muh_anything_but_C++' niggerpilling beat me in the end...) LOL. JK, no it didn't! :D Hopefully I can find the internal motivation and pick it all back up again soon ... -ish. :^)

Power & Energy Robowaifu Technician 04/25/2025 (Fri) 22:16:32 No.37810 [Reply] [Last]

Power & Energy Robots require some form of energy to power them. We need to understand how to store energy in a way that will provide her with all the power she’ll need. To clarify, “energy” is a system's capacity to do work over time. This is measured by Wh, or Watt hour. Closely related is “power” the rate at which work is done. This is measured as W, or watts. As an example, we could have a robot with a 80Wh Lithium Ion battery and two DC gear motors that consume 10W when working. You do not need to rely solely on batteries and motors. We can use other methods of storing energy. This can include compressed fluids, thermal energy, and light, among other things. For instance, glow in the dark paint is useful for storing energy to use at night for safety. Solar panels or a generator can provide power through the energy of long distance nuclear fusion or extracting energy from some reaction. Being part of a robot means we need to consider safety, mass, and volume. How will her energy and power system fit inside her? How will she deal with the mass? What happens when she runs out of energy? How can you minimize her energy use? What alternatives can be used to lower her cost of production and ownership? These rhetorical questions are all important when contemplating how to build a robot.

My Advanced Realistic Humanoid Robot Project - Eve Artbyrobot 04/18/2024 (Thu) 17:44:09 No.30954 [Reply] [Last]

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.

Artbyrobot 05/22/2025 (Thu) 21:12:37 No.38674

Ok so I currently have an order for 0.2x1x1000mm tension springs stuck in customs for weeks and placed another order just today for the same in hopes it goes through faster. But at $9 for a single spring that is 3ft long, I am feeling RIPPED OFF on price. It is bullcrap. All relating to the tariff nonsense. So I decided today to pivot and just roll with the elastic band in place of tension spring. It's a jewelry making elastic band I bought some time ago in a roll. WAY cheaper at $0.03 for 3ft instead of $9 for 3ft. That's 99.7% off! Talk about a discount! The issue I had before when I looked into this option was the tie-off point. I would need a way to tie PE fishing line to the end of the elastic band without the tie point being bulky. Well I figured out a way to do it without any bulk at all! See I want this to fit into my 1.8mm ID PTFE tubing to keep size down. My solution was to just glue the fishing line lengthwise directly to the elastic band. No knot at all. No turns at all. Just literally lay it on top and glue it down flush. I figured about 6mm length of joint would be solid. And I did this on both sides with my PE fishing line. I used 0.08mm 6lb test braided PE fishing line for this. So now I have two fishing line segments coming off the end of it for double the strength of this connection. But I only wanted one piece of fishing line to go the distance to attach to the motor end so I twisted the pair of fishing line segments together and glued the twisted pair with 401 glue then cut one of the two away leaving just one of the pair to go the distance to the winch in place pulley that this is all supposed to tension for me. I will use this string and elastic band method for now as I wait on springs and stick with this method for at least this first motor actuator setup for now. If the elastic bands don't last, we'll upgrade to the metal springs later on during maintenance or w/e. Note: the total length of the elastic band I am using for this is 2ft and it stretches to 3ft snugly without too much force. I'm just going by feel and instinct for this measurement. If I were to go 1ft with 1ft of stretch, the stretch is more intense and the pull is harder. But I don't think I need much pull for just tensioning the winch in place pulley and I also think the more tension you place the more wear and tear on the elastic band which will shorten its lifespan. So playing it conservatively with the 2ft length selection for now. Note: to apply the 401 glue I used an exacto knife handle with a sewing needle in place of the xacto knife blade and the tip of the sewing needle acts as my precision glue applicator.

Sometimes to get the braided PE fishing line threaded through the fine PTFE tubing can be tricky, so I came up with a neat device to assist in this. I will be making a threading tool based on a needle threader tool I've been using. It's basically a wire folded in half that you shove through a needle eye and then stick your string into its end and then pull it back through the needle eye. In my use case, I'm creating a custom one of these threading tools that will feed through my entire length of tubing till its folded end comes out the other side and I can thread my string through that end and then draw it back, bringing the string through the tubing with it. I just ordered some 40ga copper and stainless steel wire to use to make this device in question. I'll see which metal is best. Gonna try the copper first I think.

Tensegrity Kiwi 04/22/2025 (Tue) 18:29:41 No.37672 [Reply] [Last]

Tensegrity Thread Tenssegrity is the purposeful application of tension in a system of non-contact components to provide integrity. These components effectively float on compression provided by tension elements. Tensegrity structures are often formed via rigid rods with a cable defining the spatial relations of the system. Picrel 1 is NASA’s Super Ball Bot, which uses the common 6 bar structure. By altering the lengths of the rods, the “ball” can roll. Please see (https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/super-ball-bot/) Our bodies use tensegrity to provide us with incredible strength, durability, and adaptability. Consider how when you bump into something or fall, you can feel the pressure dissipate throughout large parts of your body. This is due to your muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc… transferring the force throughout your body, protecting the impacted part. You can walk with little effort thanks in part to tensegrity. Your legs joints are all floating, providing low friction movement while distributing the force of impact throughout your entire leg when you step. Please see (http://intensiondesigns.ca/geometry-of-anatomy/) Tensegrity can also be made with elastic elements. These structures are what I believe are best suited for our endeavors. They provide looser tolerance requirements and give her body some squeezability. By incorporating naturally stretchable elements, she can better withstand having an Anon using her. (I speak from experience, though I still broke that torso before taking pictures.) Though there are drawbacks. These designs are deceptively difficult to design correctly. Our requirements for external aesthetics provide unique design requirements that complicate the design phase. I still believe using this concept is objectively correct for us to pursue. A good example to build off of (Debatable whether or not it’s true tensegrity): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4182634

>>39139 The cheaper tubes might use a poorer quality epoxy. There are no also listed msi ratings, so they are probably a made with a week low modulus fiber. The orientation and alternation of the wraps would also be a factor. The Amazon ones look to be made from tube a of loose twill weave. The three McMaster Car options have different materials. One has all the fibbers running in a single direction, one with a tighter weave, and the last has crisscrossed alternating wraps with a much high modulus fiber. >>39142 >>39143 Curse you merciful Poseidon!

>>39145 Their pictures are terrible, but the last McMaster Car's last option is probably similar in construction to a fancy fishing rod blank. The first option probably would be a bad choice as its outer layer could potentially splinter into sharp needle-like fragments.

>>39030 Make them look bad to who? The audience largely sucks too. Most people in the West are no different from feminists in their level of hypocrisy or dishonesty. At most these others pursue different goals, and will not be persuaded to dislike feminists due to feminists being shown to be hypocritical because they themselves are the same. And more to the point, Westerners generally agree with feminist ideas even if they don't identify as feminists because feminism is so ingrained in Western culture that many core feminist ideas are now considered the core ideas of Western culture. Ideas that originated with the feminist movement are no longer recognized as such because they've been normalized through decades of propaganda, or else people are simply apathetic to the problems feminism causes because they think they aren't affected (yes, there are still plenty of people who are this stupid even after years of woke). Cuckservatives are completely onboard with every feminist policy that matters, including the prohibition of robowaifus. We have very little in the way of a potential audience that might be remotely sympathetic.

Scientists made a neural network from rat neurons that could fly a fighter jet in a simulator and control a small robot. I think that lab grown biological components would be a great way to go for some robowaifu systems.

https://academic.oup.com/synbio/article/10/1/ysaf008/8107742 Engineering a custom-sized DNA scaffold for more efficient DNA origami-based nucleic acid data storage >DNA has emerged as a promising material to address growing data storage demands. We recently demonstrated a structure-based DNA data storage approach where DNA probes are spatially oriented on the surface of DNA origami and decoded using DNA-PAINT. In this approach, larger origami structures could improve the efficiency of reading and writing data. However, larger origami require long single-stranded DNA scaffolds that are not commonly available. Here, we report the engineering of a novel longer DNA scaffold designed to produce a larger rectangle origami needed to expand the origami-based digital nucleic acid memory (dNAM) approach. We confirmed that this scaffold self-assembled into the correct origami platform and correctly positioned DNA data strands using atomic force microscopy and DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy. This larger structure enables a 67% increase in the number of data points per origami and will support efforts to efficiently scale up origami-based dNAM. Big names are interested in DNA data storage and they have been for awhile now. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/dna-storage/

Traditional storage methods have difficulties keeping pace given that current storage media have a maximum density of 103 GB/mm3. As such, data production will far exceed the capacity of currently available storage methods. The costs of maintaining and transferring data, as well as the limited lifespans and significant data losses associated with current technologies also demand advanced solutions for information storage. Nature offers a powerful alternative through the storage of information that defines living organisms in unique orders of four bases (A, T, C, G) located in molecules called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA molecules as information carriers have many advantages over traditional storage media. Their high storage density, potentially low maintenance cost, ease of synthesis, and chemical modification make them an ideal alternative for information storage. To this end, rapid progress has been made over the past decade by exploiting user-defined DNA materials to encode information. In this review, we discuss the most recent advances of DNA-based data storage with a major focus on the challenges that remain in this promising field, including the current intrinsic low speed in data writing and reading and the high cost per byte stored. Alternatively, data storage relying on DNA nanostructures (as opposed to DNA sequence) as well as on other combinations of nanomaterials and biomolecules are proposed with promising technological and economic advantages. In summarizing the advances that have been made and underlining the challenges that remain, we provide a roadmap for the ongoing research in this rapidly growing field, which will enable the development of technological solutions to the global demand for superior storage methodologies.

Another paper on DNA origami the field is really interesting. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004223007150 Self-assembly of DNA origami for nanofabrication, biosensing, drug delivery, and computational storage >Since the pioneering work of immobile DNA Holliday junction by Ned Seeman in the early 1980s, the past few decades have witnessed the development of DNA nanotechnology. In particular, DNA origami has pushed the field of DNA nanotechnology to a new level. It obeys the strict Watson-Crick base pairing principle to create intricate structures with nanoscale accuracy, which greatly enriches the complexity, dimension, and functionality of DNA nanostructures. Benefiting from its high programmability and addressability, DNA origami has emerged as versatile nanomachines for transportation, sensing, and computing. This review will briefly summarize the recent progress of DNA origami, two-dimensional pattern, and three-dimensional assembly based on DNA origami, followed by introduction of its application in nanofabrication, biosensing, drug delivery, and computational storage. The prospects and challenges of assembly and application of DNA origami are also discussed.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-025-01003-z Scalable and robust DNA-based storage via coding theory and deep learning >The global data sphere is expanding exponentially, projected to hit 180 zettabytes by 2025, whereas current technologies are not anticipated to scale at nearly the same rate. DNA-based storage emerges as a crucial solution to this gap, enabling digital information to be archived in DNA molecules. This method enjoys major advantages over magnetic and optical storage solutions such as exceptional information density, enhanced data durability and negligible power consumption to maintain data integrity. To access the data, an information retrieval process is employed, where some of the main bottlenecks are the scalability and accuracy, which have a natural tradeoff between the two. Here we show a modular and holistic approach that combines deep neural networks trained on simulated data, tensor product-based error-correcting codes and a safety margin mechanism into a single coherent pipeline. We demonstrated our solution on 3.1 MB of information using two different sequencing technologies. Our work improves upon the current leading solutions with a 3,200× increase in speed and a 40% improvement in accuracy and offers a code rate of 1.6 bits per base in a high-noise regime. In a broader sense, our work shows a viable path to commercial DNA storage solutions hindered by current information retrieval processes.

I mentioned zeptoforth and found a doc page and if you scroll down it has several book links telling you how to program with forth. https://github-wiki-see.page/m/tabemann/zeptoforth/wiki/Getting-Started-with-zeptoforth Here's the software. https://github.com/tabemann/zeptoforth It's set up for Raspberry Pi Pico W which is now my pick for the best, cheap, but no tariff micro-controller. Many will disagree but as far as ease of programming, speed and speed of actually creating programs I think forth run rings around C however contrary this may sound. I used HP calculators a lot so this sort of stack based RPN calculating comes natural to me. In fact once you use a HP RPN calculators all others are vile contraptions that cause nothing but trouble to use. RPN notation is smooth and follows logically all the steps of computation. I would say that programming in the large is not forth's strength as it can get hard to follow but for small stuff, which is what happens with MC, I don't think there's much that is any better. So anyways if you don't like it fine but I provided links for those that have interest.

Datasets for Training AI Robowaifu Technician 04/09/2020 (Thu) 21:36:12 No.2300 [Reply] [Last]

Training AI and robowaifus requires immense amounts of data. It'd be useful to curate books and datasets to feed into our models or possibly build our own corpora to train on. The quality of data is really important. Garbage in is garbage out. The GPT2 pre-trained models for example are riddled with 'Advertisement' after paragraphs. Perhaps we can also discuss and share scripts for cleaning and preparing data here and anything else related to datasets.
