>>43778 >You're not one of those, I hope? Of course not, I am pragmatic though. Fight the battles you can win. Combatting retards that cannot discern fantasy from reality seems like a poor use of time. I'd rather focus on developing tech and contacting the legislature of necesssary if laws are being put forth to limit my freedom. >>43778 >I discussed this on >>43535 There was another thread where the term companion was discussed at length. I believe I ended up rustling some jimmies over terminology, but as previously noted, it pretty much ended in "we shall agree to disagree then". >Then you have a lot of options. You probably don't need to use an LLM >>35589 It depends, right? If we're talking about a simple chat interface, LLMs can do a lot of heavy lifting. Whether you want to talk with an AI about something or go on an adventure where the AI plays a role for you, LLMs are definitely capable of offering you a wide array of engagement. >MiSide I've seen videos and screenshots. It looks like it'd be fun, but it's still just scripted interactions. Arguably, if you just need something to follow orders and never deviate from set scripts, that could work for all manner of domestic care bots and sex bots. With MiSide, that character doesn’t actually have a personality, though, right? If it acts like a human and I know that it's not, I'll get that uncanny vibe from it. That's not to say others can't enjoy it, but I don't believe it'd be for me. >Is robot sentience rare or not? (regarding MWHNE) What's confusing is that it appears the author grasps some higher concepts when it comes to the tech in the story and even some philosophical concepts, but as you note, there seems to be a lack of consistency within the rules of the world. I don’t mind a more complex plot; I’d just like some more output. As noted above, if they’re tired of the series, I wish they’d just make 2 or 3 more chapters and close it out by answering some of the questions they’ve teased but not really expanded upon. >Is Mina actually sentient, or is it a hallucination designed to mimic sentience? Panels like pic related give you mixed messages like “She can love, but her brain is not built to process that emotion correctly, so it manifests in strange ways.” There are other instances of this sort of thing in the story, which makes it compelling, but without more answers, it’s basically mystery box shit and left up to the reader’s interpretation. She can use emoticons on a phone so she wants to express those emotions but cannot. She knows what they are and knows an appropriate time to express them contextually, so the question boils down to- does she actually feel those emotions or is it performative? As the reader, I believe the author wants us to think she actually does feel them.

>>43779 >Of course not, I am pragmatic though. Fight the battles you can win. Combatting retards that cannot discern fantasy from reality seems like a poor use of time. I'd rather focus on developing tech and contacting the legislature of necesssary if laws are being put forth to limit my freedom. Exactly. You can't debate and/or convince the mentally ill. >I've seen videos and screenshots. It looks like it'd be fun It definitely is. I recommend playing it. >I believe the author wants us to think she actually does feel them. I always assumed it was like autism, she feels these feelings, but has no real way to express them and is under a more logical mindset.

>>43780 >It definitely is. I recommend playing it. I don't know. My friend got it and he seemed to enjoy it, but I think I wouldn't be able to overcome suspension of disbelief. Once you've exhausted all the narrative content, what else does the game offer? >nb4 too high IQ 4 u >I always assumed it was like autism, she feels these feelings, but has no real way to express them and is under a more logical mindset. She has no hormones and isn’t modeled like the super minas to be more “expressive,” but the backstory suggests some special programming she was given to account for this (more of that mystery box bullshit). Austism is probably the closest thing we could relate her state to. Perhaps that’s why the story resonates with me so. Joking aside, without more of the plot revealed, this is all conjecture.

>>43782 >Once you've exhausted all the narrative content, what else does the game offer? I haven't gotten around to playing MiSide myself yet, but I have played similar games in its vein. Despite the numerous machanics and complex world, it remains, at its core, a visual novel, and like all VNs the narrative is the entire game. If you want to experience the story it has to offer, then get it, and think of it as a highly interactive book. But VNs are never meant to be a perpetual experience. They're something you experience once, and maybe again years later when you want to revisit the world and have forgotten most of the details. I'd say it's worth playing on those merits alone (and I will do so myself once I get through some more items in my backlog), simply because a good story can enrich your mind for simply having experienced it. If you want to look at it from a more objectivist perspective, then consider that looking into a new world can open your mind to new ideas. With those ideas, you can enrich and build your own life further.

>>43783 Perhaps it is sour grapes, but I think that game will make me lament that which I cannot have. Maybe I'll find a copy on the high seas and see if it's for me.

Related: >>35641 >Functional evaluation of a non-assembly 3D-printed hand prosthesis > ... developed a new approach for the design and 3D printing of non-assembly active hand prostheses using inexpensive 3D printers working on the basis of material extrusion technology. This article describes the design of our novel 3D-printed hand prosthesis and also shows the mechanical and functional evaluation in view of its future use in developing countries. We have fabricated a hand prosthesis using 3D printing technology and a non-assembly design approach that reaches certain level of functionality. The mechanical resistance of critical parts, the mechanical performance, and the functionality of a non-assembly 3D-printed hand prosthesis were assessed. The mechanical configuration used in the hand prosthesis is able to withstand typical actuation forces delivered by prosthetic users. Moreover, the activation forces and the energy required for a closing cycle are considerably lower as compared to other body-powered prostheses. The non-assembly design achieved a comparable level of functionality with respect to other body-powered alternatives. We consider this prosthetic hand a valuable option for people with arm defects in developing countries. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/0954411919874523

As I've mentioned numerous times here on /robowaifu/ , having a smol flotilla of drones for our robowaifus to increase situational awareness will be quite valuable. At last there is a consumer drone that should be able to fulfill this need in a stellar fashion: the DJI Neo 2 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=eHJLPAQuxz8

Lots of pertinent wisdom for us today regarding usage of smol microprocessors (the best kind, for our limited-onboard-resources robowaifu use cases).

>>43553 >Well, I'm disappointed to hear that, HoloAnon ngl. I didn't definitively say I'm ceasing development; I'm still thinking it over. But it's extremely discouraging when you think you have a good idea and it turns out the audience is much smaller than you thought.

>>43542 Interesting idea. I did see all the memes about the life-size gardevoir pillow. I have some counterpoints to the idea of a life-size pillow -Plushies have no structural integrity. That's fine for a small one, but for a human sized one, it would always be limp. Maybe an endoskeleton can help -They get dirty easily, and soaking means any spilled fluid might get in deep. Good luck on finding a human sized washing machine. This is also why I think the NEO robot having a fabric skin is asinine. >But nope straight to massive silicone beasties I guess. I had a similar thought that I discussed on a groupchat, because I was wondering, why not a robot-themed sexdoll? It would reduce the amount of silicon, make things like replacable onaholes possible, and can even have some electronics. Plus it would make more sense than having a supposedly real woman that is paralyzed and can't blink. On Incels.is, I brought up the idea of adapting Galatea tech attaching a wrist bluetooth speaker to a sex dolls wrist for local AI. >Pillow robowaifu seems to be a more viable alternative to even 3d printing because an anon could just buy the pattern online, pick up a sewing kit and some fabric at the local department store and sew his own cuddle buddy. Pic related >>43543 >Well, when this many men are sexually unsatisfied, you're going to have many different kinds of men in that group. Exactly. All sorts. A good portion seem misanthropic and perpetually miserable. Some replies that show what I'm talking about >"If she was nearly identical to a human being that I can fuck then yeah, otherwise no. I don't want to talk to a foid, even if she's AI, I just want sex." >"marry? greynigger what" Not exactly Romeo. Plus, the first quote and many others claim they want the robowaifu to look perfectly human. I find that ridiculous, that means we could have perfect and fully capable cute robopartners (like the second pic), but if they don't look exactly like a human woman, the very same that reject them mind you, they won't even want them. Makes me wonder how bad the inceldom really is if they put up such arbitrary restrictions for a miracle cure. Plus, ironically, blue-pilled talk about how "AI love is not real". If AI and robowaifus aren't real, then WTF is standing in my living room and wearing a maid uniform? >>43553
