To begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.

In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.

If you did all that youd be known as the terry davis of robotics if you could make a robot walk with a flexible spine youd get an email from tesla and the like i think

Terry was just a wacky believer and assumed role of a priest. Larry has a clear God complex
>I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel
Like, that's just attempting to mimic God, but he's obviously far away from godhood, since God created Earth and people in 6 days while after 11 years, Larry stuck at constructing antennas from copper wicks and discovering copper tape on ebay

You know motors glitching from radio is bad for the robot but itd be fun to watch lol

My decision to use Biblical names of first humans was intended to b a homage to God, reflect my love for the God's Word, and was done with the intention of all humility toward God. My robots are being built with respect toward what God made and have grown my respect toward God as a superior designer. Art mimics life and God created all life. So art mimics the creations of God generally. It should be done with reverence toward God which is my intention. I do not want to usurp God in any way, only pay homage to Him.

>on project for a long time

Not really I've taken long breaks constantly and repeatedly only working in short spurts here and there. If someone in 1k years spent 5 minutes on a project that doesn't mean they work slow it means they did not work on that project much.

>My robots are being built with respect toward what God made and have grown my respect toward God as a superior designer.
You're claiming you understand God better as a "superior designer" because you made up (never built) some robots lmao, obviously you're comparing yourself to God and thinking there's some kind of analogy. Christianity has like 2000 years and during that timespan noone has decided to "honor" God by creating another humanoid creature - you know what it'd be called normally? Playing God. Thing you're paying homage to is a jewish myth of Golem.

>I do not want to usurp God in any way
You don't "not want", you can't.

>If someone in 1k years spent 5 minutes on a project that doesn't mean they work slow it means they did not work on that project much.
You're pouring as much attention and time into this project as you can, but you're just too slow. Everyone has to take breaks, people work 8-12 hour shifts and go take a fucking break at their homes. Construction, software development, etc. - it all can take months and years precisely because people take breaks and have days off. Nonetheless, they do their work more efficiently and faster. You're not in a special set of circumstances, you're just outstandingly incompetent and too sensitive. I think you're actually closer to offending God with your sloppy work than honoring Him.

>yea I have this grandiose, revolutionary, world-shattering concept I work on to honor God almighty himself. I just don't feel like spending too much time on it.

>people in their jobs take breaks just like you do
no, they take a day off here or there. I have taken multiple consecutive years off multiple times. Not the same. They are full-time working on a single project with all of their focus 40-60 hours per week. I on a good week am doing like 4 hours that week. No the same. Someone achieving more in 60 hours than someone did in 4 hours does not mean they are more efficient or a faster worker.

>you are comparing yourself to God
yes I am weak and he is strong. That's a comparison. That's a humble position, not a brag.

>you saw God is superior to you as a designer by working on your robot project
correct. I supposed why not have a nose bone? I thought I'll use a bone there. Then I later realized if the robot face planted that bone would get shoved into the skull, penetrating anything therein and would have converted into a weapon of destruction. So a bone cannot be there but cartilage can. So the thing forming the nose shape must be cartilage like, not bone like. I learned WHY the nose has a cartilage-like design, not understanding it or considering it until I questioned it and thought I'd change it. In my attempt to improve the design or modify it I discovered the reason for the original design and was able to marvel at the brilliance of it. Giving glory to God for it. And so it has gone for many studies regarding it and there are other examples like this. So yes, whether making a robot involving studying the body's design or studying it for medical school purposes or w/e you come to appreciate many parts of its design and if you believe in God as creator then you naturally marvel at the work of His hands and the cleverness of his designs.

>I find I can honor God through my robot project but don't like spending too much time on it
Nobody said I don't LIKE to spend too much time on it. That's not true. I just have other pressing matters to attend to on a regular basis. And you also suppose that this project is the ONLY way I can honor God which is also not true. I can honor God in countless other ways and do so. So honoring God less often in one way I honor Him does not diminish my overall honoring Him as long as the other thing I do when not honoring Him with this project honors Him equally. As long as one is acknowledging God in all their ways they are honoring him always. As long as one prays unceasingly they are honoring him always. As long as one is obeying God always according to their knowledge they honor him always. One does not need to find a single way they can honor God and then just do that thing on a near constant basis as you falsely suppose. That would lead to terrible work like balanced and being neglectful of your other responsibilities and so very foolish indeed.

>I on a good week am doing like 4 hours that week
If you think you're going to build a robot that builds itself and design AI that upgrades itself by working on those 4 hours a week then you're either retarded or delusional. You can't honestly both claim that you're going to complete this project and excuse yourself with having other shit to do
>Someone achieving more in 60 hours than someone did in 4 hours does not mean they are more efficient or a faster worker.
bro, you're buying random shit off amazon and trying to use it in your project, documenting failure after failure. You're obviously inefficient, unskilled, untrained and incompetent, keeping yourself in the comfort zone by fetching answers along the way from a chatbot.

>yes I am weak and he is strong. That's a comparison. That's a humble position, not a brag.
You literally implied you learned to appreceate God more as a creator because on your "work" on a humanoid robot. What a way to show your humility lmao. You clearly have God complex, you're unable to admit your delusions or your faults, and most likely you're driven to build these robots because of your compulsive need to control other beings, whilst being too repulsive to most of actual people.

>>you saw God is superior to you as a designer by working on your robot project
I didn't even claim that, it's fascinating how 80% of your reply is reply to your own argument that you made up. You're going to go to hell for being prideful alone, forget wanting to fuck the robot.
>>
>>2970004
okay give me an example of your on regular basis pressing matter that takes precedence over building a world class perfect humanoid robot with human-like mind that all armies in the world and private sector would kill for.
