Remember that 1984 movie about a horrifying robotic endoskeleton covered in living human skin?
Contributed by Allan Rose Hill…

And stranger Five Nights at Freddy’s porn.
That reminds me, did they ever explain whose face Data was wearing in Star Trek: First Contact?
Ted Cruz has a face?
Sometimes… just sometimes perhaps, scientists should consult with someone in the aesthetic professions before releasing their glistening, smiling nightmare fuel to the world.
I’d rather my robots were cheerfully humanoid adjacent but obviously robotic, like say Wall-E out of that Disney film.
I can imagine a possible use for human skin to cover prosthetic limbs.
It’s uncanny!
