>Why organize IRL? This community is great and many individuals are already making progress on their prototypes. However this endeavor is not a one man job and organizing IRL would give better opportunities for collaboration and skill sharing/development. >Where should we organize? I propose we organize within a seven hour radius of Chicago. This would include the major cities of Milwaukee WI, St Louis MO, Detroit MI, Indianapolis IN, Louisville KY, Cleveland OH, Cincinnati OH, Columbus OH, Pittsburgh PA, Nashville TN, and Minneapolis MN. There are plenty of opportunities for jobs and universities in these cities. In particular Chicago has a booming tech industry with Google even moving their HQ to the city and the electronics manufacturing and biotech sectors are pretty good too and Detroit MI has pretty good robotics industry although it might not be the best place to live. Another wonderful thing about this area is that most of these homes have basements that could be turned into workshops. >How would this all be organized I propose a fraternity system. A fraternity would help build community and give us a vehicle to recruit others from STEM and skilled trades (machinists especially) The organization could also host a scholarship to help us build talent. Anons with enough money for a down payment could buy homes in the area and rent to below market rate to anons moving in. Different homes could specialize on different projects and collaborate and share equipment and skills with others nearby. What do you think /robowaifu/?

Oh one more thing! >What about feds/infiltrators? No one is going to bother with a group dedicated to the production of robowaifus. As the goal of the fraternity is not overthrowing capitalism, or beta uprising, or racial holy war and talk of such things is discouraged in the lodges no one is going to target us.

How would this be paid for? I'm pretty sure that if any of us had the millions in cash to splash, this would have come up sooner. Also, not all of us live in the US, and moving countries is a pretty big ask. >>38132 >no fed will bother The feds absolutely will bother, but not for the reasons you posted. It's not about what a group is doing, it's about justifying their funding. They'll infiltrate anyone and then turn it into something actionable so they can pat eachother on the back, claim a job well done, and ask for a higher budget from congress. Even if you discount the feds, there will always be the risk of activist and corporate espionage from non-state actors. Being inoffensive has never been and will never be a good security measure, because everything is offensive to someone. That's not to say it's hopeless, but real security and anti-subversion measures need to be in place.

>>38133 >How would this be paid for? I'm pretty sure that if any of us had the millions in cash to splash, this would have come up sooner. You don't need millions. You need enough for a down payment on a house and some equipment. You really don't even need that. Just a couple anons willing to rent a home with a decent garage/basement would be enough. Many of the cities I listed have affordable housing nearby although crime and diversity tend to be issues in the cheapest locations. I'm in a position where I can purchase a home soon and I'm willing to go in on this. >Also, not all of us live in the US, and moving countries is a pretty big ask. It would be possible to set up similar fraternal organizations in other countries. >It's not about what a group is doing, it's about justifying their funding. Its harder to justify your funding going after dorks building sex robots than it is to justify your funding going after le political extremist neon yatzees. Feds aren't likely to bother here. >Even if you discount the feds, there will always be the risk of activist and corporate espionage from non-state actors. I could see some seething feminist try to go after us, but having a fraternity basically eliminates that risk, but corporate espionage could be a real risk. Having a fraternity code of ethics, character expectations, and a good sense of community would reduce that risk. There are no 100% risk free interactions in this world.

>>38134 A pledging process that required time, dedication, and genuine skills could also help eliminate some of the risk.

>>38167 I was thinking more like weekly STEM related pledge projects. It would show initiative and a willingness to learn new things.

Robowaifu Technician 05/04/2025 (Sun) 16:02:02 No.38169

>>38168 I'm not adept at math or engineering. I'm more of an artsy fartsy type so I don't think I could manage any STEM pledge process.

>>38169 Art projects should be acceptable too. Especially if it is related to 3D modeling, sculpting, embroidery (furry/pony robots), or propaganda.

Robowaifu Technician 05/04/2025 (Sun) 16:16:34 No.38174

>>38172 Come to think of it, it might be a good idea to require the more STEM focused dudes to do a couple of art related projects and vice versa so each party knows some of the challenges the other face.
