Wow, this is interesting. I just came across a new and arresting techno-term, Slutbots.

Apparently some enterprising geek out of Russia (that figures) has unleashed a software robot (bot) which poses as a chatty Cyberlover, hence the term, slutbot. The slutbot works best in social networking contexts, say, MySpace, for example, where it….

poses as a would-be paramour in sex chatrooms.

Can you feel the danger?…the writer continues…

While the use of love to hoodwink unsuspecting dorks is as old as the dirt, the use of so-called slutbots is a relatively new innovation.

According to a report from the tech site PC Tools, the slutbot can conduct automated “flirtatious” conversations with up to 10 people in 30 minutes. During conversations it is programmed to garner personal information and lure correspondents to other websites where they are infected with malware (malicious software).

I thought you would. Lonely and undersexed readers, you’ve been warned. But there’s more….

The main reason this bit of news caught my eye was because the writer of the article mentions our girl Scarlett. Why? He rightly understands the economic repercussions of combining slutbot software with the hardware of some future robotic android made in the image of our Scarlett:

When a robotics futurist declared in 2006 that people would be having sex with robots “within five years” society (outside of Japan) shivered.

Now, with only three years to go until this prophesied robo-sexual revolution, the danger of merging technologies should be a concern.

Imagine the CyberLove program inserted into the mainframe of a robotic Scarlett Johansson; surely the bank accounts of every red-blooded man in the world would be in peril. Thankfully, attempts thus far to make life-like robo-dolls have resulted in creations no more human-looking than Pamela Anderson. But how long will that techno-sexual frontier remain unbreached? Eventually some spotty, single scientist is going to perfect the android, and then we are all in big trouble.

Is this our “perilous” future? Would you be able to resist a sweet talking, and very willing, Johansson android?

More addictive than heroin, I’m thinking.

This could be huge. A fundamental realignment of the global economy would ensue. With all the heat this would generate, global warming alarmists will have underestimated by a factor of 10. Icecaps? What icecaps? Polar bears? Who gives a damn.

Wow. Mary Shelley. You’re needed STAT!
