Mr. Hawkins, the author of the article below won’t be direct and takes the worldly approach of waffling, and appeasement. Refusing to make a direct statement and abide by it.
I don’t have that illness. I’ll say it plainly and straightforward; Yes, science has gone too far in the research and development of robots. Science, as evil, will never stop. Never pause to wonder if they have gone too far and no matter what science develops since disobeying God and eating of the tree of knowledge that leads to death, man’s insatiable appetite for knowledge and to replace God, imagine themselves as gods has never abated and has only accelerated.
Technology has run amok while the masses worship it, honor it, praise it, and excitedly can’t wait for the next thing to appear.
As the old adage goes, beware of what you ask for…
Because what is presently? Ought not to exist. And man isn’t done yet. Far from it. And what is to come won’t be exciting or cool or making life better.
Wait and see for technology is not, will not set anyone free.
Tragically, a lot, a great deal of what folks believe, are convinced is true is in fact 180 degrees opposite of the mass perception, mass deception.
Technology won’t set you free.
Technology imprisons more and more daily. Seductive as the voice of the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
For, surely, if you insist on eating of the fruits of technology believing they will bring life
You will surely die unsaved, condemned, to be consumed and cast into the pit
May this truth cut true and deep into the soul, into the heart like a knife.
Impacting you where you sit,
and all that you now believe…

Researchers created living skin for robots, and it’s pure nightmare fuel (Videos)

Sometimes science goes just a little too far in the pursuit of progress. I’m not saying that’s the case with a new living skin that scientists made for robots. But I’m also not saying that’s not the case.
Making artificial humans has been a goal of many for centuries, even dating back to the ancient times of Greek mythology. But we’ve never been closer to achieving a realistic human-like robot, than right now. That’s because while robots continue to progress and accomplish bigger and better things, scientists are also finding new ways to make them blend in with humanity.
The result is an eerie “living” skin that almost looks like something out of a horror movie.
Scientists made a living skin for robots
The researchers responsible for the skin published a paper on it in the journal Matter. They not only made the skin look human-like, but it is actually made of human skin cells. As such, it can repel water and even heal itself, similarly to how our skin works. This new “living” skin for robots could push progress towards humanoid robotics even further.
That’s because looking “real” is one of the top priorities that engineers and researchers have for humanoid robots. Because these robots are being designed to work directly in the healthcare and service industries, they need to look real and human to avoid creeping people out. Still, despite that goal, this new skin is exceptionally creepy.
But making living skin for robots has never been easy. Not only do you have to make the material, but you also have to make it conform to the robots’ parts. This has been difficult because it is challenging to conform the skin to a dynamic object, especially one with uneven surfaces. So, the team approached making the skin a bit differently.
Making it look real
Shoji Takeuchi, a professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan, says that the researchers established a tissue molding method instead of cutting the skin to fit the finger. Then, all they had to do was submerge the finger into a cylinder filled with a mix of collagen and human dermal fibroblasts. These are the two primary components in the skin’s connectivity tissue.
This plan succeeded in making a living skin for the robots because of its natural shrinking tendency. As it dried, the mixture shrank and tightly conformed to the robotic finger. Thus, giving it a realistic, if not somewhat sweaty, appearance.
Takeuchi believes that living skin is the “ultimate solution” to make robots look and feel like living creatures. And it seems researchers are getting close to making actual living skin for robots. But, that doesn’t change that the result is a little unsettling.
