Week In Male Sex Tech – Realbotix Turns Away From Sex Robots, Adult Content Creators Petition EU Over AI Regulation

Realbotix No Longer Focusing On Sex Robots After Takeover

Realbotix, the company associated with RealDoll and the famous Harmony ‘sex robot’, is no longer making such sexy lovebots its main focus. Bought out earlier this year for $16.7 million by a cryptocurrency investment firm, it now brands itself as a general player in the market for humanoids in SFW settings such as education. Paying $16.7 million for a pioneer in the race to build convincingly real androids seems like a good deal, when you consider that the market for such human-like robots is estimated to be worth $38 billion by 2035. Matt McMullen is still on board – as President – and the company still promotes itself as among other things, producing ‘AI companions’.

Content Creators in the Adult Industry Want a Say in AI Rules

Both the USA and the EU are rushing to implement new laws and rules to regulate the AI industry, with preventing ‘non-consensual AI imagery’, which includes ‘deepfake porn’, near the top of their priorities, along with preventing a super-AI from wiping out humanity. Given the speed with which AI is progressing, and the fact that many of the legislators, ‘experts’, and politicians pushing for these laws don’t actually understand AI, let alone sex tech, and are often ideologically driven, there’s a real danger of over-regulation that will kill innovation particularly in the adult industry. Given that is become a widely accepted truism that ‘porn drives technology’, perhaps it’s not just fair, but common sense that representatives of the adult industry should be able to take part in consultations during the drafting of whatever legislation ensues?

Thankfully, a group of adult content creators are of the same opinion, and have combined to petition EU law makers to hear their voice. As Wired reports :

In response to European internet regulations, a collective of adult industry members—including sex workers, erotic filmmakers, sex tech enterprises, and sex educators—urged the European Commission to include them in future negotiations shaping AI regulations, according to the letter, seen by WIRED.
The group includes erotic filmmaker Erika Lust’s company as well as the European Sex Workers’ Rights Alliance campaign group, and is signed the Open Mind AI initiative. The group aims to alert the commission of what it says is a “critical gap” in discussions on AI regulation. Those coordinating the campaign say that current discussion strategy risks excluding first-hand perspectives on adult content and overregulating an already-marginalized community.

A Glimpse At How Amazing AI-generated Video Is Becoming

The best full-length AI-generated video I’ve yet seen, although it’s no doubt a string of short animations. As we see with the current state of AI-generated porn videos, the females barely move, other than the tilt of the camera, or zooming in and out. However, the photo-realisim and inventiveness is staggering.
