Sex robots ‘will colonize Mars’ says love-bot tester

SEX-BOTS will help humans colonise Mars, according to a love-doll enthusiast who helps "test drive" randy robots.

YouTuber, love-doll collector and sex-bot consultant Brick Dollbanger told The Sun that we'll soon by relying on droids for space travel – and said we'll eventually become bots ourselves.

A divorced property developer in his 60s, Brick (not his real name) has been buying sex dolls for over a decade, and regularly advises California sex robot firm Realbotix on their upcoming Harmony love droid.

And he's convinced they're going to help advance the human race: "I think we have to remember [sex robots] are here to help us expand our knowledge, our experience, and that's what they have to direct this technology to do."

Speaking to The Sun, Brick explained how sex-bots are driving robotics innovation – and advanced versions in the future will help us set up shop on Mars.

"I believe robots will colonise Mars. They're gonna build the colony, we're gonna come along later," he explained.

Brick has spent time testing Realbotix's Harmony this year, and previously described how he was stunned by the robot's realism.

And he's convinced that eventually they'll do much more than bonking bot buyers.

"In this country we've got 100,000 people turning 65 right now. In 20 years, we're gonna have a population full of elderly people and not enough helpers," sex-bot vlogger Brick told The Sun.

"At some point in the next 20 to 50 years, we will have robotic companions to help physically, mentally and emotionally."

Brick, who has spent around $200,000 (£150,000) on sex dolls and bots, added: "Think about having a companion that is always honest with you. Someone that could psychoanalyse you without any of the emotions that would put into that psychoanalysis."

Brick thinks most of these warnings are overblown – but he is concerned about the possibility of robots going rogue, and turning on humankind.

"The robots are gonna be tied into the internet. I do worry about a central control over robots," he said.

"That's my worry – about a bad line of code getting into not one robot, but 100,000 robots."

He told us that he's "against any kind of sentience in a robot", because they'd be too powerful for us to control.

"For a robot to become completely mobile, it has to be able to support its entire weight on one limb.

"Think about if a robot had a bad line of code that told it it needed to twist your head off. It would come at you, and it doesn't get tired, doesn't get weaker – it goes until the battery runs out.

He went on: "I can't imagine for a moment letting us develop a robot that mimics sentience that we allow to make its own decisions.

"Why would we want to create something like this that we're going to have to compete with? Smarter, stronger, faster – and that can literally live forever.

"It has to be under our direction and we can never let it make decisions on its own."

One particularly weird scenario suggested by Brick is the idea that we'll eventually become robots ourselves.

Brick said that synthetic robots will eventually be so realist we won't be able to tell them from real people.

And in "100 to 200 years, we could actually merge with a robot", the sex-bot expert explained.

"With medicine we're all trying to live longer, live better, be stronger, have more invigorating lives.

"If we're going to make these robots into likenesses of ourselves, I believe we'll merge with them eventually."

What is a sex robot?

Robots already build our appliances, clean our homes and make our food – but now they're about to change how we get jiggy.

Sex robots are essentially realistic dolls that have sophisticated movements and "areas" that closely mimic humans so that they can romp.

Prof Noel Sharkey, chairman of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics, said guilt-free threesomes was just one of the potential uses for sex robots.

Others include “teledildonics” - wireless technology which allows a person to stimulate their partner remotely and already exists in vibrators on the market.

Sex bots will become hyper-realistic with features such as built-in heaters to create the feeling of body warmth.

They will also have sensors to react to your touch.

One company is even developing a head that can speak, smile and sing for its robot sex dolls.

Sex doll Harmony claims to be the first to offer an "emotional connection".

Experts say these specialised robots will start to appear in ordinary homes in the next decade.

“The Lonely” is episode seven of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. It originally aired on November 13, 1959 on CBS.

Opening narration (Rod Serling):

“Witness if you will, a dungeon, made out of mountains, salt flats, and sand that stretch to infinity. The dungeon has an inmate: James A. Corry. And this is his residence: a metal shack. An old touring car that squats in the sun and goes nowhere—for there is nowhere to go. For the record, let it be known that James A. Corry is a convicted criminal placed in solitary confinement.

Confinement in this case stretches as far as the eye can see, because this particular dungeon is on an asteroid nine million miles from the Earth. Now witness, if you will, a man’s mind and body shriveling in the sun, a man dying of loneliness.”

Plot:

In 2046, an inmate named Corry is sentenced to solitary confinement on a distant asteroid for 50 years for murder. In his fourth year of confinement, he is visited by a spacecraft (flown by a Captain Allenby) that regularly brings him supplies and news from the Earth four times a year.

The ship and crew can stay for only 15 minutes each visit, as the asteroid’s orbit and the ship’s fuel consumption rate make longer visits impossible, lest the space-traveling delivery crew would be stuck for 2 weeks or more, awaiting favorable orbit conditions to depart. Captain Allenby’s crew loathe being away from Earth and taunt Corry.

Captain Allenby has been trying to make Corry’s stay humanely tolerable by bringing him things to take his mind off the loneliness, like the components to build an old car. Captain Allenby believes Corry that the killing was in self defense and sympathizes with him.

Corry’s pardon was rejected and murder cases have a review backlog of 50 years or more. On this trip on the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the fourth year, however, Allenby tells Corry not to open a certain crate that has just been delivered until after the transport crew leaves.

Upon opening the special container, Corry discovers that Allenby has left him with a feminine robot named Alicia to keep him company. Alicia is capable of emotions, memory and has a lifespan comparable to a human. At first, Corry detests it, rejecting Alicia as a mere machine, synthetic skin and wires inside only capable of mocking him.

However, when Corry hurts Alicia and sees that she is in fact capable of crying, he immediately realizes that she has feelings. Over the next 11 months, Corry begins to fall in love with her. Alicia develops a personality that mirrors Corry’s, and the days become bearable.

When the ship returns, Captain Allenby brings news that Corry has been pardoned after a review of past murder cases, but they only have 20 minutes to leave. The crew has been dodging meteors and are nearly out of fuel. Corry, it seems, can return home to Earth immediately.

Corry learns that there is only room for fifteen pounds of luggage. Corry seems unconcerned as he doesn’t have 15 pounds’ worth of possessions that he cares about, until he realizes that the crew does not consider Alicia human.

The 15-pound limit is far too little for his robot companion, as there are seven other passengers on the ship from other asteroids. He frantically tries to find some way to take Alicia with him, arguing that it is not a robot, but a woman, and insisting that Allenby simply does not know it as he does.

At that point, just as the rest of the transport crew is surprised at the sight of Alicia, Allenby suddenly draws his gun and shoots the robot in the face. The robot breaks down, malfunctioning, its face a mass of wire and broken circuitry which repeats the word “Corry”. He then takes Corry back to the ship, assuring him he will only be leaving behind loneliness. “I must remember that”, Corry says tonelessly. “I must remember to keep that in mind”.

Closing narration (Rod Serling):

“On a microscopic piece of sand that floats through space is a fragment of a man’s life. Left to rust is the place he lived in and the machines he used. Without use, they will disintegrate from the wind and the sand and the years that act upon them. All of Mr. Corry’s machines, including the one made in his image, kept alive by love, but now obsolete—in The Twilight Zone.”
