Bow to our fashion robot overlords
This is the HRP4-C "fashion robot" from Japan, scheduled to make its official debut modeling clothes during an honest to God fashion show next week:
We are getting dangerously close to the world Masamune Shirow imagined in Ghost in the Shell. I recommend both the manga and the anime for anyone who hasn't read/seen either or both. He wasn't the first to question what it means to be alive and have a soul, but he's probably the closest to where the evolution of technology is actually headed (hint: it starts with the "pleasure bots").
Who knows, maybe someday we'll have our own HRP4-C to model for this site.
