30% of the country already acts like they were taught by a brainless joytoy and are no doubt going to say shit like yowza I wish my 3rd grade teacher looked like that .
This half decade is really the official start of america as a cyberpunk dystopia and I gotta say its way fuckin stupider than I imagined.
It’s not good regardless of the connection to sex bots. It means classrooms would be monitored to make sure teachers and kids “behave” and don’t pose any risk to the establishment by straying from the curriculum into conversations that question the status quo. And it would allow creeps to spy on kids and gather information on them.
Anything but paying teachers a decent wage…
$10 says it’s a “repurposed” sex hot and it would’ve taken a whopping week for a more techy student to hack it and say profanities or something similar…
It is interesting that they couldn’t replace sex workers with their unskilled robots, but they think they can replace teachers!?
These companies are so out of touch with reality that they deserve to go bankrupt. Their investors are so out of touch that they deserve to loose their investment.
You really need to see just how bad these things are:

It’s a slightly animatronic mannequin. They’re so garbage. This is what they brought to CES to show off, like they’re proud of it. Tickle Me Elmo was more life-like.
Right before the AI boom really started to take off there was a robot “companion” named Moxie that I thought struck exactly the right balance - it was nowhere near the uncanny valley, staying firmly on the cute robot side, and it used a projected cartoon face that was simple but expressive. Unfortunately the company’s timing was rather poor, they went out of business right before the AI back end would have been able to make full use of an avatar like this. I’d love to see another version of this approach.
Seriously, what the actual fuck.
Sex bots being deployed as public school teachers is so fucked up even fiction authors wouldn’t touch it.
Like ffs this is so dystopian it’s one of those things they don’t put in the history movie 200 years later because it’s unbelievable
I’m curious how Van Halen would feel about the robosexual youth’s take on “Hot for Teacher”.
Bot for teacher
Reading the article makes me feel like it should be in Not The Onion.
Why did they make her look like she’s about to terminate the waiter at Chili’s who brought her soggy fries?
The clanker in the pic is from a CES demo. I did not see whose skin the classroom terminator is supposed to wear but it is supposed to have dark hair.
I read this as “each class gets 1 free sex toy to play”
