How come we don't have lifelike androids yet? Why are we

Because something went very wrong with american education. Where are all the geniuses from last 50 years? I mean actual giants like Einstein, Feynmann, Bohr, Oppenheimer. They just not there. Where did they all go? I'm not even saying education became hierarchical, conformist bureaucracies where all people who can't color in the lines are kicked out. There are deeper underlying issues. Also highly commercialized higher education with tuition rising much faster than inflation rates, but that's just since 1970.
And rest of the world is irrelevant since 1945.

And because now there's geniuses that never get to go to college or get recognized because of the capitalistic education system. The best robotic engineer in the world probably lives off Ramen and gets his resume rejected because his only experience is as a burger King manager.

>>7662799
Scientific advancements always have lulls (varying from field to field). Physical models remained both stagnant and inadequate to explain new phenomena for over a hundred years before Einstein.

>>7662799

Prolonged peace.

>Einstein: German/Austrain
>Bohr: Denmark
>Oppenheimer: American
>Feynmann: American

I mean if your going to make a claim about American Genius, at least make sure >50% of your examples are American.

>How come we don't have lifelike androids yet

exactly two reasons.

1. Power Supply

and more importantly

2. there are no linear actuators that even come close to replicating human muscle tissue.

if you can solve #2, we can have sexbots within a year, although they will probably have cable tether and the "brain" will be a closet sized computer.

It looks like a 3D rendering.
I thought it was an AR overlay render the first several times I saw it.

> Einstein
> "Austrain"
Seems like you don't know jack shit about what you're talking about. He was German and lived in Switzerland for a while.

don't forget about old spice robot

processor speed/size ratio is plateauing
can we stop asking the same questions over and over? thanks
now delete your fucking thread

>>7662764
well there's the fact that if you program an exact human brain you have to teach it for several years before it can even begin to start talking, let alone acting socially normal which doesn't come for more actual people until their late teens
do you think AI programmers are raising every one of their creations like their own children for a decade and a half? and that doesn't even include the lack in hardware that is needed. a full body including skin that can feel pressure/temperature, enough processing ability to perform (most importantly) spatial observations and reasoning, along with anything picked up by other senses. You'd also need to give it the ability to taste and smell if you want it to fully empathize with the human experience, even if it wouldn't need to eat.

10/10 would smash

Prolonged low-level heavilly politicized wars against a technologically inferior enemy are worse than a prolonged peace for technology development.

The only times technology advances in wars is when one side is under serious threat of being outpaced technologically, because both sides have some kind of industrial capability and brain power to use it.

When was the last time you saw anyone make a new weapon design clearly superior to modern designs that wasn't a national entity?
Desert dwelling retards living a life of 700 years ago won't be developing nukes, even if they were sitting on top of a pile of the materials to make one.

>>7662764
We already hit the limits of the possible tech in this universe. We already know everything about electronics, physics and mathematics. And we all the knowledge we have we cant figure out how to do proper IA. Why? because it´s impossible. Like FTL travel.

>>7663494
Agree. People who just watch pop sci dont know shit about thresholds

>>7662857
hahahaha
yall are fucking idiots
we have lazers hotter than the sun, we're using them and super magnets to control fusion, we've spent billions of dollars and 10000 scientist man years to probe the physics questions we need answered

>feynman a genius
Fuck this thread is garbage. He was smart but where are his breakthroughs? he allowed more people to understand physics, so that's great for long term productivity but there's no super geniuses fielding 100 predictions 50 years beyond the science because science isn't that easy anymore... sorry

>>7663716
i'd like to add that most of the higgs boson and a ton of the other particles being verified by experimentation were predicted decades ago usually by the work of very few people.

>>7662764
because there is no market for them and nobody will invest in research that is evil

>>7662950
But can you fuck it?

I know an engineer from Las Vegas made one

>>7662992
The point is they aren't all american, so why even say it that way.

>>7662799
There are decades between new geniuses coming up. And we also have Hawkings in our current time.

>>7662950
In 10-20 years, they should sell these as sex robots so I can be happy knowing that I will be a virgin forever.

The main reason why I am ashamed of browsing /sci/ is because of these smartass fucking trolls who think it would be funny to say stupid shit like this for the sake of getting a laugh out of those who misunderstand easily. Fuck off.

actually to the individual who said we are already at the edge of understanding the universe and physics that is not the case, we are in fact very feeble at it even the most intelligent physicists of today have trouble understanding things like gravity and mass

we need more particle accelerators

and why have sex with a robot when you can just go onto craiglist casual encounters theyre sluttier there

>fucking organic beings with "emotions"
Hell no. I would like it more if there were no strings attached not whatsoever.

we need a porno staring these 2 bots. No scripted dialogue. Just let their chat AI's talk to each other while they grind gears
