I bet you lose out in the marketplace. The same selection pressure that drives neoteny will drive the evolution of hardware-with-a-personality. Compare Bratz dolls with Barbie dolls. Or even a 1960s Barbie with a 2020s Barbie, to a degree.
- demondemidi 3y agoYes yes, the market rules all and is always correct, amiright? Some of us don’t want the world ruled by the biggest company that won the game of capitalism.
- flir 3y agoEven if every robot was artisanally hand-made by Sandbenders in deepest Oregon, I predict the cute robots would still be more popular. It's not capitalism that's providing the selection pressure, it's our own evolution. Given time, we'll find out. Maybe I'm completely wrong.
- bambax 3y agoYou're partly right. The demand for "smart" machines, for some reason, indeed seems larger. But there should be room for both.
