Y’all are familiar with the uncanny valley, right? Well Dawn had to float this video across my radar, partly because it made her laugh and partly because it’s like ClearStream tried to do the worst possible replacement for a live Suzie Zane.
In actuality it’s part of a video series by a lady named Simone Giertz, who does build these robots herself and likes to hurl straight into the uncanny valley with them. In this case, the Westworld TV show sponsored her to do something thematic for them. It’s fun stuff, although a not-so-fun development is that she was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. Sigh. Sometimes it seems like everything we enjoy these days comes with some darkness attached, eh? But still, I suppose the least we can all do is support her with a viewing or two.
One thought on “That’s more like an Uncanny Chasm…”
oiojes
doesn’t look all that different from the Hanson robot that was declared a person in Saudi Arabia.
