>>35109 Merry Christmas fren Grommet! Thanks so much for all your clever ideas! Maybe you have many brainwaves this coming year and see your plans come alive! Cheers. :^)

Merry Christmas! May God bless you all!

>>35114 Merry Christmas GreerTech! May you rapidly development many innovations to your standing designs this year! Cheers. :^)

We have some good news for Christmas, /robowaifu/ : >>>/meta/31 <---> The reason we don't have 100% recovery for our part here, is strictly b/c I didn't keep daily BUMP backups going, as I already related (cf. >>34962 ). [1] I hope this will be a lesson learned for all of us. Let us each keep our own backups going regularly, please. Cheers, /robowaifu/ . :^) Merry Christmas! --- 1. As predicted, my last BUMP archive of /robowaifu/ was on 20241014 (so, roughly 2months before the mixup); files posted after that look to be, unfortunately, gone. OTOH, as discussed, several Anons here can repost the orginal files themselves (which they still have on hand). In such cases, that should restore them here (with Robi's addon's help) as well! Stay tuned. >=== -add '2months' cmnt -fmt, minor edit

Wanted to let any GPU engineers here on the board know that NVIDIA is currently hiring for senior position (ie, high-dollar, high-power) devs for their Triton platform. https://developer.nvidia.com/triton-inference-server Who knows? We may rub shoulders there someday, Anon! :^) >=== -sp, minor edit

I am a foid lesbocel who wants a robowaifu for herself: Can I post here, or is this place just for male incels?

>>35149 You can post here, ofc. Simply don't promote feminism or literal faggotry here (cf. >>3 ). Fair enough? >ps. You've mischaracterized /robowaifu/ as being for incels, btw. I'd suggest the majority of us here are not. >=== -add 'ps' note -sp edit

>>35149 >foid >lesbocel >incel Sorry to disappoint but, this is an engineering board, not a culture war board. Either help build robot girls or leave. Your gender means nothing here.

>>35153 Agreed.

I hope everyone had at least a okay Christmas. Thanks for all the good wishes. >>35125 Thanks, but how is it possible that 30% of all files were posted in the last two months?! >several Anons here can repost the orginal files themselves (which they still have on hand) As soon as the existing files are working.

>>35125 Also, where to repost files? Here in this thread or in every thread where something is missing, or in Alogs Meta?

>>35173 Thanks fren NoidoDev! May you have a blessed 2025 at least. :D >>35173 >As soon as the existing files are working. Robi spelled out some technical particulars. He's working on a Lynxchan addon that will go through and properly sync things on the back end. From that point forward, all subsequent posts will appears (though there may be some delay or other, wouldn't be surprising if it needs a 'batch-job' type run periodically). >>35176 >Also, where to repost files? Robi is going to create a special location so as not to clutter up threads, as he mentioned.

>>35125 Does this mean I can close my broswer now? There's nothing urgent, but I do need to run some updates.

>>35192 >Does this mean I can close my broswer now? LOL. My apologies, Greentext anon, I'd forgotten that! :P So, I'd guess the answer is "yes" (but maybe not?). The >tl;dr is that my backup from 20241014 provides Robi with all the files to that point for /robowaifu/ , and -- once he's gotten the addon working -- should allow for auto-regeneration of the thumbnails thereafter. The only point being if you can somehow grab the original files posted here since the last BUMP archive, then you could repost them once that's set up for everyone. >tl;dr I'm still unclear if you can recover files (either the originals or the thumbnails) from your browser. Seems I recall you mentioning it didn't work before? If you can't save them out cleanly to your local drive, then I'd say that you can just go ahead and close your browser after all. Regardless, thanks very much for your willingness and your frenship to us all to offer the service to help. Cheers, Anon! :^)

>>35193 >I'm still unclear if you can recover files (either the originals or the thumbnails) from your browser. I'm sure that there is some way of doing it, since some of the thumbnails are still there, but I couldn't find it, and I cannot access any of the original images unless they're saved to my hard drive. With few exceptions (most notably images named "Clipboard Image") I save everything under the original name, so I can search my drive for anything lost. At any rate, I don't plan on cycling my computer until later tomorrow, so let me know by then if you change your mind. It's really not much of an inconvenience. I've stalled and witheld updates and power cycles for much less. On a related note, I might ask you for help regarding BUMP in the near future. My dedicated computer for backups is mostly ready, but I've run into some issues with BUMP's dependencies. I don't think it's anything catastrophic, I just set it to the side to focus on what I needed to to for Christmas, but I'll let you know.

>>35194 >so let me know by then if you change your mind. OK, but I anticipate no changes: get 'em if you can...if not, n/w. >I might ask you for help regarding BUMP in the near future. Sure be glad to fren. As I asked earlier, maybe together we can smooth over any issues for others to build it as well. I clearly remember how difficult it was for me to get over this type hurdle when I began I've simply built code so many thousands of times since, that I can forget that type issue some times... :P >=== -sp edit

>>35184 Can you save the website with all files? Also, you could make screenshots so we could know which Clipboard.png was which one.

Happy new year, everyone!

>>35240 Hi NoidoDev, yes could technically do so. The server also stores hashes for the files (readable in the page's JSON file). In the meantime, I'd say let's just wait until the addon is completed, and the special post location is made known? >>35248 Thanks, EnvelopingTwilight! You too.

@Grommet I forgot to mention to you that I created a special thread over on our bunker board so that you and I (and any other Tor users of /robowaifu/ ) could post files relatively-conveniently there, then reliably link them back here. Cheers. https://trashchan.xyz/robowaifu/thread/26.html >=== -patch hotlink -minor edit

>>35316 >post files relatively-conveniently You have no idea how much I appreciate that and all the other things you do. All of it is very welcome.

>>35317 You're so welcome, Grommet! My apologies for letting this slip my mind before. BTW, you have so many great ideas you've contributed to /robowaifu/ through the years, Anon. I (and other) appreciate your inputs here very much! Cheers. :^)

>>35336 Noted. Thanks.

I don't want to be a chicken little about this, but has anyone discussed the home healthcare issue at length? >https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/05/2020-census-united-states-older-population-grew.html >1 in 6 people in the us were over the age of 65 in 2020. >https://ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/research-updates/home-health-care-workforce-not-keeping-up-with-community-needs >Many agencies that employ home care aides have problems with labor shortages. “Estimates of turnover vary a lot, but I’ve seen estimates as high as 65% a year,” Kreider said. These workers, who are largely women and people of color, and often immigrants, have a demanding role. “Aides have physically demanding jobs and experience a high rate of injuries. There’s little training to help them manage complex health conditions. Unpredictable schedules are also a barrier to recruitment. But one of the biggest problems is low compensation—averaging about $12.12 an hour—and poor benefits,” >https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/01/09/1065135/japan-automating-eldercare-robots/ >Japanese healthcare robots are more of a novelty at present rather than useful tools Some stuff to chew on there if you're interested. Essentially the ratio of home healthcare workers to old folks isn't looking good. Robot waifus are needed for sure, but in the short term (next decade or so) if the current trends persist there's going to be a large amount of elderly people who need home health care and assorted assisted living solutions that simply won't have them. I know japan is working on domestic care bots but AFAIK, all that stuff is still confined to hospitals. Said robots in Japan are...interesting but ultimately they're not not replacing nurses and orderlies yet. We don't even have Mamoru style egg bots to monitor people's health yet. The best thing we have is life alert and maybe medical braclets. >"Whatever, I'm not old, not my problem." If we don't get rejuvination treatments figured out, you will be old one day. Hopefully we'll get robot waifus in the interim but I'm concerned that you're going to have more cases of elderly people dying alone in their house and only being found several months after the fact. At some point, a relative goes to perform a welfare check only to find grandma is half melted into the carpet as black puddle of rotten goo. Not exactly the best way to find your loved one. Even on a less morbid note, plenty of eldery people suffer from falls and other injuries that could be easily remedied with a home healthcare bot that simply doesn't exist yet. I'm worried because the rollout of such tech isn't happening nearly fast enough and the longer this is put off, the worse things will get for the most at-risk members of our society. If we aren't going to get home healthcare bots in the short term, there needs to be more humans trained to help out elderly people and their respective wages need to be raised as well. That or start mulching the old people and turn them into soylent green so there's less of them to worry about.

>>35349 >oldbots activate <i am here to help to help to helpppppp

>>35349 POTD >but has anyone discussed the home healthcare issue at length? We've mentioned it on the occasion here, Anon. Personally, I'm quite well-aware of this topic, and of the Japanese government's national-level push to solve this issue for their aged/aging population (cf. pic-related : >>35323 as an exemplar of just a smol portion of that research). Of course both based China, as well as the degenerate west of today each have the same, impending, set of issues looming (as you already clearly pointed out). * China is likely going to follow in some form or fashion in Japan's footsteps for the most part, I believe (soon to overtake them, then lead the world in this frontier arena). * For the west however, AFAICT, the (((Globohomo))) intends simply to kill off the majority of their intrinsic populations (at the very least to destroy Whitey as priority #1), and to manipulate the remaining survivors with FUD, extortion, and the threat of tortuous death in FEMA camps (or their equivalent in Europe/the Anglosphere). To wit: a mud-colored slave race to populate their Filthy Commie's """Talmudic paradise""" is their insidious dream. [1][2] >tl;dr These western globalists, these technocrats/oligarchs have no real interest in keeping your loved ones alive Anon, I'm very-displeased to say. MAID at >50% of the population, anyone? [3] <---> Clearly, there is a tremendous opportunity right now for entrepreneurs (both East & west) to fill this healthcare need. I plan to do so. With that thus-derived funding, and the already-in-place-design-and-engineering of such humanoid caretakers, it should be a relatively smol hop from there into production of full-blown open source robowaifus & kits for everyman around the planet. <muh_basic_business_plan/10 From that point & thereafter, everything will change profoundly during The Robowaifu Age!

>>35349 Thanks for sharing your concern, but did you see current progress in robotics? It should lift off in the next few years. I don't think that for most use cases the best ones, or even completely humanoid ones, will be necessary. The other options are: Retiring in a poorer country and pay other people there. Hoping that a lot of other people will loose their current jobs to AI and seek other employment. And, you already kinda mentioned longevity technology. In my case, I'm also not against having some sons using surrogacy. Though, I most likely will be a bit too late when my robowaifu comes into existence and after I wasted even more time.

>>35351 I've mentioned this along with Chobitsu several times. In fact the world could be a wonderful fabulous place with plenty of everything for everyone on the planet except for the shitheads, psychopaths and vile ones that run it. The tech is there. The tech is "very" close to making robots that would be super cost effective to take care of the elderly. In fact nursing homes now cost on average $10,000 a month. DAMN!!!! For far, extremely far less, someone could have their own waifu, stay in their, likely, already paid for house and get self driving robots to cart them around with the waifu to help. it would save a fortune,. take care of the elderly but...it's not as profitable as charging someone a fortune for imported aliens who frequently torture the residents of the retirement homes and force them to sell their houses off to Blackrock. Sometimes I truly despair.

BTW here's a comment I made doing some rough costs and possibilities for profits for stay at home nursing care robots with self driving serve. >>24081

>>35369 >but did you see current progress in robotics? There's a lot of cool tech demos. The closest I've seen to "humanoid" robots doing tasks and interacting with people in public in a capable commercial fashion were the maid cafe bots. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LNthFGX4aM Everything else I've seen has been a highly controlled corpo showcase. Until I see robots really stepping up and doing jobs there were typically reserved as human labor, I'm not going to get too excited. >It should lift off in the next few years. One can hope. The biggest advancements I've seen in the past 5 years were in AI and drones. I was hoping AI would springboard us to other tech, acting like ancillary brains for smarter people to better utilize and collate data. I've been trying to utilize AI myself more lately but it's a tool that requires a firm grasp of its capabilities for optimal utilization. I've been playing around with Claude's sonnet for the past month or so, pushing it to the limit to see how much I can get out of it. I see the promise of AI collaboration for brainstorming and data analysis but hallucination and context windows are still an issue if you're not running multiple A100's or some megaserver horseshit. My hope is smarter minds will be able to leverage AI to advance science more quickly but I'm afraid we're nearing the peak capability with modern AI architecture that utilizes transformers and conventional training. Maybe google or OAI are cooking up some real cool shit in their R&D labs and simply haven't bothered to announce it yet. >>35351 I hope we have a Klaus Fuchs kind of character who shares the secret sauce to AI regardless of who develops it first so one nation doesn't have exclusive access to the mother brain or whatever. Considering how AI works, we might get a few parallel discoveries so such a character won't be necessary. Ideally, whatever AI development emerges, it benefits everyone, not just the super elite.

>>35349 >>35351 >>35372 The highest cost barrier to making a medical waifu isn't the actual cost of manufacturing, it's the cost of certifying. If you want any medical institutions or insurance companies to take you seriously, you'd need to stamp each waifu with a battery of safety certifications that would cost millions of dollars to even qualify for (since everything would need to be tested, which would take years) before you can even legally sell the product as a medical device. Even then, you're not free of liability, and there's no guarantee that any of the old-timers today will want it. And if anything goes wrong, you better believe that those same institutions will drop you like a hot potato to cover their own asses. Unless someone here wins the lottery, the only realistic option is to target the home market first. >>35374 Honestly, I think the biggest roadblock to good AI right now is LLMs. Everyone is so obsessed with them, but it's become more and more apparent over the years that they're really not that good, and they're too easy to poison. At this point, I'm honestly willing to completely discard language as a requirement for the sake of a more efficient and secure waifu. Chobits had the right idea, an efficient loveable dumbass is better than some "smart" LLM.

>>35375 >it's the cost of certifying. That's another issue. It's not just medical stuff though. >food prep >legal work >construction Anything that needs a human to sign off on quality will be highly scrutinized. Even if you get aI & robots that outperform the top 99% of humans, that still wouldn't be enough for some people. I'm thinking we need AGI that can fully articulate itself and even have some agency in its actions before it'll get the green light to tackle what are traditionally seen as human only jobs. AIs need to be able to go before congress and make their case that they're better at taking care of humans than other humans are. >Honestly, I think the biggest roadblock to good AI right now is LLMs LLM's are a piece of the puzzle. The underlying tech that powers them is the issue I think. Transformers in particular came out back in 2017, almost a decade ago now. Is that really the best option for giving AI a way to articulate its thoughts? Maybe. Perhaps transformers can be improved upon. Maybe they're a stepping stone to a better technology. At this point, the biggest advancements I've seen come from people pouring lots of time and energy into training models for marginal gains in performance. The amount of energy required to do that training is increasing as well so we're hitting the diminishing returns part of the development cycle. Maybe we need to start using quantum computing and unlock fusion energy or some other sifi shit. I haven't seen anything particularly interesting in the R&D scene outside of training AI on movement data gathered from the real world.

>>35375 >The highest cost barrier to making a medical waifu isn't the actual cost of manufacturing, it's the cost of certifying. That's a good point and I did not take that into account. It could derail the whole thing or, more likely, freeze out anything but big Corp. globalhomo from profiting.

>>35375 >Certification > legally sell the product as a medical device Good point, but: Maybe the solution would be to define the robots not as a medical device, just some helper. Also, if people are not insured, they will have to go abroad anyways. Either way, some people are being taken care of at home, where it is hard to control who does the work. So it only has to work. Generally, I don't plan my life based on my last few days, weeks or months. I'm young enough too not worry about age, also I plan to make it to at least above 100 and stay healthy. >Healthy life expectancy at 60 (HALE60), or the expected number of years of healthy life after 60, provides significant insight into the potential quality of life for older adults. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/05/long-life-does-not-always-mean-a-healthy-life-in-old-age.html >the biggest roadblock to good AI right now is LLMs They need to be managed by additional software. >>35376 > I'm thinking we need AGI that can fully articulate itself and even have some agency Yeah, let's hope not. We or rather other people can worry about these things when the tech is there. When it comes to construction, to outcome will matter. I don't think it will be highly regulated. Also, always take into account that places are in competition with each other. If they make it hard to improve our life in one place, the people with some savings might move somewhere else. Also, people will simply break the law if it unreasonable (well, that's at least how I roll).

>>493479057 >>35384 >Also, people will simply break the law if it unreasonable In the case of medicine, I know people go to Mexico or Canada if they can't afford care in the US or need medicine that isn't offered in the states. If other countries start showcasing surgery bots who can perform complex procedures at a fraction of the cost of their human counterparts that'll put pressure on other nations not using such tech to adopt it. I'm hoping that external pressure will encourage progress rather than corpo monopolization. > also I plan to make it to at least above 100 and stay healthy. Humans can live long lives already. My issue is more about the quality of life. If at 80 years old you're wrinkly, in chronic pain, with teeth falling out, poor eyesight, and other age related issues, is that really how you want to be? Look at Jimmy Carter toward the end. I'd rather have a 20 year old body lasting me until my 70's rather than a 100 year old body that has me looking like Palpatine. We've perfected keeping people's hearts pumping so they can "live" longer but we haven't really come up with any rejuvenation therapies that make life living at that point. I don't want to delve into a morbid topic but I'd rather gameend myself in my 70's if I'm suffering from chronic illnesses and age-related issues. If we come up with some kind of rejuvenation therapy, body replacement procedure, or mind swap tech, I would be amicable to something like that. Otherwise, I'll be happy to fade into non-existence or whatever happens post-mortem.

>>35375 >Certifying This is both expensive and time consuming. Frankly, none of us are able to get this going without having millions and a decade to sink into it. >>35384 >Just make it capable and say it's not meant for medical applications The best option honestly. Show that it can help in ways that benefit the feeble and elderly while saying that it isn't intended for any medical use and that we take no responsibility under any circumstances.

>>35397 >This is both expensive and time consuming. Frankly, none of us are able to get this going without having millions and a decade to sink into it. All quite true. If any of you have read the HIPPA documents (I have, for some high-paying C++ gig work I did), you know what Kiwi is saying is true. Thus why we need to open source all our work with a permissive license beforehand: a) When you reuse your own, already-licensed work to solve their urgent, proprietary, anime catgrill robonursu problem, the VC board can't really make an effective complaint about that, tbh (nor would they be likely to even try, of course -- its the whole reason they wanted you). b) Simply don't sign a non-compete (at least not for your own, already-public, code & designs lol); dutifully finish up their (((GH)))-compliant, pozzed-af-surveillance-nursingbot like a good little goyim; /comfy/ily rake in your millions.

This will help to ensure that your own following, robowaifu-related work will stay both relevant and well-informed in SOA trends during the nursingbot project's time interim. <---> Pull all of this off correctly Anons, and they will soon thereafter be pulling up to your gate with a super-duty armored truck filled with gold bars to offer in exchange, begging you to upgrade your previous robonursu works with your latest robowaifu-enabled feature sets.

>>35750 I wouldn't worry yet. Bills are basically suggestions, and it failed before. And even then, I see no mention of this beyond New York. And even if it was implemented worldwide, it wouldn't affect our goals. TL:DR: Don't worry about something until it actually happens.

>>35750 > anti tech hysteria We are always one public uproar away from some dumb decisions being made. Face swappers on GitHub seem to be in trouble, at least if they support NSFW.

(Btw: >>3119) and apparently there are more such cases. Of course this, or at least the reporting, might just be a campaign. Though, this case isn't related to NSFW which might bug some celebrity women and people concerned about fake CP based on real children. Maybe that's the reason for the takedown of the ReActor repo.

Especially if someone wanted to make a longer video with different scenes trying to keep the characters consistent.
