Dear robot
I just read the last interview by Kate Darling, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Among other things, a couple of ideas have given me what to think: “We are in the era of Artificial Intelligence, we can move from fear to love in an instant,” and “it will soon not be weird to fall in love with a robot.”
They say that there are already domestic robots that consider them domestic and therefore accept them as living beings. About ten years ago, in the film Her directed by Spike Jonz, similar relationships were naturally raised.
Kate Darling analyzes the legal, social and ethical consequences that these relationships can generate and makes their ideas public. And I, in my own way, want to take mine out.
We will soon have the opportunity to create “homemade” that do not create mistakes. They will be like we want. Physically and also in the way of relating.
In a machismo society, I'm really scared to think about how we would choose if a lot of men put the possibilities of designing our partner in front of us. The belief that the freedom of others is against oneself does not mean anything good.
Fortunately, we're not robots. Coping with the doubts and contradictions that arise in daily life is the attracting imperfection of the relationship
And if we didn't have the limiting effect of education, church, media, dark societies ... Would all of our home news be the same kind as the couples we have today? And should gender be concretized to create relationships? If we were totally free, wouldn't we make the decision to try other alternatives? I mean couples, but if we could have half a dozen of these domestic robots, would we fall in love alone or would we find a way to love everyone at once?
Reading Kate Darling that we'll fall in love with robots, I thought I don't want a perfect relationship. Fortunately, we're not robots. The small “mistakes” of us and those who accompany us make the relationship interesting. Coping with the doubts and contradictions that arise in daily life is what makes the relationship attractive.
“Imperfect relationships.” Pablo Milanés sings The short space you are not in. A little bit has come to mind. It says something like this. "I haven't asked her yet, "Do you stay?" / I am very afraid of the answer 'never' / I'd rather be shared, than emptying my life / It's not perfect, but it's just close to what I dreamed."
If one day a robot is able to explain in such a sweet way the desire for free relationship, I recognize that it was wrong, and maybe I'll fall in love.

Predicting the end of anything has become fashionable. The end of the human being, ideologies, community, authority, philosophy, or democracy. Are they labels full of sensationalism?
Maybe it was Francis Fukuyama who started that final fashion. After the collapse of the Berlin... [+]

Pello Salaburu placed on social networks that within fifteen years the burden of the immigrant population in Bizkaia would multiply to 22% of the total population, which “actually constitutes the threat of the Basque Country”. Of course, thrown in this way, without further... [+]

The debate about Joe Biden's cognitive impairment lasts about two years. Sometimes he behaved strangely, sometimes didn't get it right or said things that weren't true, like his son had died in Iraq. However, the liberal establishment considered any doubt about its cognitive state... [+]
I read two or three days ago an article about the ranks of Guillem Martínez and I do not know if I understood it well. He said that under his house he has a ice cream store that had nothing to do with him and that, in recent times, he usually has people as soon as he opens, one... [+]
I'm not very clear if, individually, we have enough power to guide our lives, but we do have to keep trying. Although a lot can be done in groups, every day we have a lonely struggle with ourselves to move forward. Most human beings spend their time standing on the one-way stream... [+]

The crew is one of the hallmarks of the Basques. Every Basque has a crew or, at least, that is what is expected of a Basque born. It is no less, because we could say that the Group is the social unit of the Basque Country, the atom or basic component of our society. In this... [+]
