Huh, that's pretty neat. Wonder if they are going to install one at their store at EPCOT...

I would be thrilled if I were to one day have an encounter with a lady android.


Heh, there's actually a movie that just got released that deals with that. Laughing

Ex Machina

  • Alex Garland, writer of 28 Days Later and Sunshine, makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, EX MACHINA. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test-charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan's latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated--and more deceptive--than the two men could have imagined.

Seems like a slippery slope; one minute machines are greeting us at department stores, the next they're sending a Terminator to the past to kill Sarah Connor.
