These two thoughts:

“People are going to be having sex with robots within five years,” he said. So should limits be set on the appearance, for example, of such robotic sex toys? The greatest danger, however, is likely to lie with robots that are able to learn from their “experiences”

...do not seem as connected as their placement in that paragraph would imply.

Are people trying to creat cylons?

Wow, I never realized how dangerous it was to be a stick figure.

I'm stuck on the middle sentence about limiting the appearance. All three sentences look like they're related at first, but then on reread they seem like they're...hm... almost randomly generated...

OMG, I think that article was written by an AI. Maybe the sentient computers are jealous because the robots can have sex even though they're not as smart. This is the start of a propaganda war. It's nerds versus cheerleaders all over again.

Ugh. It's noon, I'm bored, and I already finished the internet.

See, it makes much more sense to me that people would make robots to have sex with than that people would design robots to have sex with one another.

I can't believe I just admitted that in public.

Ugh. It's noon, I'm bored, and I already finished the internet.

So bon bon = Al Gore? Huh.

See, it makes much more sense to me that people would make robots to have sex with than that people would design robots to have sex with one another.

I swear we just had this conversation with the last couple of weeks. Robot sex is the new salad shooter.

So should limits be set on the appearance, for example, of such robotic sex toys?

So, they're saying that "highly-realistic sex robot = bad"?

Maybe realistic is OK as long as it's obviously a robot? Like if they make them bright green?

I swear we just had this conversation with the last couple of weeks.

I think we were just talking about robots having sex with other robots. Or maybe I just forgot about the robot/human sex part of the discussion....
