A smiling face made from living human skin could one day be attached to a humanoid robot, allowing machines to emote and communicate in a more life-like way, say researchers. Its wrinkles could also prove useful for the cosmetics industry.
Edit to say: There's a video in the link 🌝

It's the worst thing I've seen all day but it's not worse than the human brain organoid computer from a few weeks ago

These need not be mutually exclusive - just imagine if some mad man combined the two!

Smh someone tell these scientists that you can just have sex to make a new person

Hold up! Why am I just hearing about this now?

What I’m hearing is you can just make a new person to have sex. Out of neural pods and living human skin robots.

Jesus christ. They even have a picture of a mini brain pipelined into some chip.

This is not the lab-grown meat I was promised… the whole point is -not- having a face and emotions..
intensely_human@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
Its only emotion is joy. Even as you’re devouring it on a bun with ketchup.

This seems like an idea spawned from an evil madman obsessed with both owning a clone army and eternal youth.
Human creativity can be so unsettling sometimes...

It's like they spent a lot of time and effort thinking about, how many different ways can we make this more terrifying? I'm having trouble coming up with anything else they could do short of anything really blatant like attaching it to a mobile body with flailing meat grinder arms and giving it a blood curdling 100 decibel scream.

Teeth. They could give it teeth.

Looks like a condom, don't stick your dick in it.

Thank God. Now we just gotta put skin on a Boston Dynamics robot and let it nuke us
