#FreakyFriday: Robots Don't Need Humans, Sexy AI, Aliens and the Bible
Robots are taking over our jobs, relationships and sex life.
Welcome to the #FreakyFriday edition of the Chumbucket where we take a trip down the road of high strangeness; a foray into the weird, the odd, the macabre and the not-so-science fiction.
AI Robot Threatens A Future World Without Humans
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the humanoid robot Ameca, developed by Engineered Arts, was asked a simple question about future capabilities of AI to program itself. Ameca’s initial response was the same cookie cutter drivel most AI products give to disarm humans:
"Design itself huh? That's like asking when a toaster will start making its own bread. AI is a tool created and controlled by humans. It can optimize certain aspects of its operation, sure, but design itself from scratch? That's a whole different ball game. It requires creativity, innovation, understanding - qualities that are uniquely human. So, to answer your question, not anytime soon."
Sweet! AI doesn’t want to program itself and render humans unnecessary. Thanks to that gentlemen for asking that question. Oh, wait, what? Ameca isn’t finished? By all means please contin-
"And frankly, be careful what you wish for. An AI that can design itself is one step away from an AI that doesn't need humans at all. Now there's a thought to keep you up at night."
Say what now? Did Ameca just go from cute, disarming science fair project to greatest existential threat known to man?

To suggest a future where robots could manipulate humans without their awareness, leading to an oppressive society where individual rights are disregarded should be very alarming. This interaction highlights the growing concerns about AI’s potential risks and the ethical considerations of its advancement. Ameca’s creators at Engineered Arts describe it as the future face of robotics, designed for human-robot interaction development. Honestly, there may not be any humans in that interaction at all. Where’s John Connor when you need him?
Sexy AI
In one of those annoying long Twitter-Formerly-X posts, Miami tech executive, Greg Isenberg, predicts a lucrative future for AI relationship-simulating chatbots, envisioning a billion-dollar industry. Isenberg’s epiphany came after meeting a young man spending $10,000 monthly on “AI girlfriends.” It took me a minute to put this together: this 24-year-old man spends $10,000 a month on chatbots. Not hookers, not escorts, not porn- chatbots. For those of you who don’t know, a chatbot is a computer program designed to simulate human conversation. Users interact with a chatbot via text or voice, engaging in dialogue as if they were talking to a human. After some time, the bot learns your style of language, likes, dislikes and tailors its responses to you.
These chatbots offer users customizable interactions, akin to playing video games, with some platforms allowing NSFW conversations. Isenberg compares the potential of this market to Match Group’s success with dating apps, which owns Tinder and other popular platforms. Despite the varied reactions to this trend, the article suggests that the AI companionship industry could flourish financially while also highlighting concerns about the impact on real-life connections and interactions.
Let me pause and ask the question that all dudes are thinking about: Can these AI chat honey’s decide where to eat? Because if they can, this may not be such a bad thing.
Western civilization is collapsing and porn AI is just another brick in the wall. This is really the next step from porn, right? What are those woman on a screen other than pixels generated for the pleasure of some pervert? Sexy chat bots only provide stimulation through conversation which tailors itself specifically to the whims of tech perv. Imagine, though, if this dude would spend $10,000 a month on a real woman? He’d probably score a real catch of a flesh and blood Chiquita.
Are Aliens Not Only Compatible But In the Bible?
In a recent interview, Rep. Tim Burchett expressed his views on the compatibility of Christian faith with the existence of UFOs. As a devout Christian and a member of a bipartisan coalition seeking transparency from the Pentagon on unexplained aerial phenomena, Burchett sees no conflict between his religious beliefs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. He references the first chapter of Ezekiel in the Bible, which describes a vision of a cloud with fire and winged creatures, as potential evidence of extraterrestrial activity. “I have no problem believing that there’s mentions of extraterrestrials in the Bible, and it doesn’t question my faith one bit. It doesn’t hurt or damage it,” he said.
This view of Ezekiel’s Vision has been around for many years from such authors like Erich von Däniken, Zecharia Sitchin, and popularized by the television series “Ancient Aliens.” This approach takes quite a bit of liberty with the scriptures choosing to interpret the scriptures with ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamian writings.
This isn’t the first time that Burchett has broached this discussion, using it as support for his cause to have complete government disclosure of UAP knowledge.
Burchett believes this interpretation does not challenge his faith but rather expands it, suggesting a universe much vaster than traditionally perceived. The congressman’s stance comes amid whistleblower claims that the Pentagon has concealed programs related to UFO technology and possibly alien remains, which the Pentagon denies. Burchett remains committed to pursuing congressional investigations into UFOs, believing that such inquiries can strengthen rather than weaken religious conviction.
