Ha! Interesting to see if Pilot would choose to pursue a trademark-infringement case. "Yes, your honor, we think our writing implements can be reasonably confused with a sex robot."
"People will think our pen is a penis." Sorry, I had to.

So Justin Bieber could have sex with all his Twitter followers simultaneously. Fascinating.
it makes no difference if it is Justin Bieber or if they send out a signal and tell you it is Justin Bieber, or if you just turn on the machine and think of Justin Bieber. There's really nothing social to this particularly.
I'm imagining Bieber standing in front of a giant wall of monitors on a huge video conference with thousands of followers. It would be real time and his actions would obviously originate from him.
(Why am I imagining this?!)
Re: Sex over distance using affordable consumer teledildonic robots
#93Now you can have sex without even touching another human being! Yeah, this is one activity I think I've going to stick to the old meatspace/wetware paradigm for, sorry guys. OTOH I'm sure it's a fun device to work on :)
Lots of people who have sexual partners in meatspace still use toys, quite a lot actually. There's no comparing a regular human phallus to a fucksaw, or a hitachi, or a sybian.
Sure they do. Sometimes alone, sometimes together. As a male I find them less interesting and I find the idea of remote fucking pale in comparison to the real.

Yes I did think that might be one application, though I'm not sure how sold I would be even then. To each their own, and perhaps it would be better than nothing, but it would kill the intimacy aspect for me.
It would obviously be far from perfect, but for a LDR, the basic question would be whether it was better than phone sex, right?
Well yes, absolutely.
I tend not to bother with LDRs either, I must admit, I think they're mostly a bad thing.

I agree about LDRs in the long term, but if you're apart for a period due to career or life circumstances it's different, and some working relationships can start long distance and work out if someone moves.

It seems from most of her public output that Dines' primary goal is to horrify, more so than to reliably inform. http://www.charlieglickman.com/2010/07/08/7-ways-to-create-a... is one example of an article critiquing her work.
Have you read any of her books?
Given her general alarmist tone and the fact that I can find plenty of critiques of her failure to give a voice to bodies of evidence that arguably contract her conclusions, but not rebuttals, I'm not sure why I'd want to.
I did, admittedly, manage to find
http://www.newleftproject.org/index.php/site/article_comment...
which appears to point out that she consulted meta-studies ... on the other hand, it also indicates that (a) she's comfortable referring to spanking as physical abuse (b) she explains that "My failure to give a detailed definition of porn, or my refusal to celebrate porn as a diverse set of cultural products, comes not from laziness or oversight but a commitment to a radical political economy."
... and it ends with "So please don’t ask us radical feminists to waste our time coming up with scholarly definitions. We have an industry to close down."
Which seems to suggest that she believes that when you're trying to argue that X is bad, defining X clearly is a waste of time.
I ... really don't think I can see a reason to want to read her books now.

In this case, I'll find it completely acceptable to disregard you.
If you're going to choose to ignore a comment by someone who's actually bothered to read her 165-page book (which includes 200+ references) in favor of googling some web articles that support a position of ignoring feminist critiques of porn, in all likelihood you don't care about improving society for women.
I am taking a strong tone because your comment seems to say that if you believe feminism is bad, giving time to thoroughly investigate feminism is clearly a waste of time.

haha this is great, the banter around here has been about how this could help fundamentalist mormons be able to have sex with all of their wives in their various houses at the same time. For publicity it would be great to have popular stars like James Deen using the robots to reach out to hundreds/thousands of his fans, or even shoot it in the same room -- have a line up of partners that he can interact with all simultaneously. It works the other way too, a woman could please many men at the same time -- imagine an escort able to line up one hundred 50$ handjobs for the same Wednesday afternoon and she's done working for the month.

Possibilities really open up with the telemetry translation api -- realizing that the telemetry is digital, and only has to be encoded once to be read for any purpose for any supported device is huge. We expect to be very busy for a long time fleshing out all the applications we have in mind. One that we're working on is using a users webcam to monitor heart rate (similar to the xbox one + kinect) and use that inform…
Have you talked through what the company will do once developers start creating FriXion experiences with virtual children? Are you taking a hands-off approach (no pun intended) to what people do with the technology, or do you plan on vetting each application? If presented with an abuse scenario, would you cooperate with law enforcement to find who is "connecting" with (or creating) these children? I'm not knocking th…
FriXion complies with all lawful requests and makes a pro-active effort to review and respond to all reports of policy violations. While we're not responsible for what people get up to with robots on their own time (who cares if a highschool kid uses it to masturbate alone in his room with the internet off), using our platform to break the law is never ok.

If Pilot Pens starting making a auto-signing machine pen, I could see someone getting a tad confused.
