Whether it is humanoid robots being trained as conscientious baggage handlers to cope with Japan&#8217;s aging workforce, or a chunky android that had to buy a passenger seat on a flight just to have its heavy lithium battery confiscated at boarding, our mechanical friends are making quite the dramatic entrance. You might soon be dropping $20,000 on a domestic&nbsp; humanoid, or adopting an emotionally intelligent &#8220;familiar&#8221; to do yoga with you and act as a high-tech nanny. Just be careful who you chat with, as the hosts hilariously point out that some AI models are suffering from <strong>&#8220;AI psychosis&#8221;</strong> by eagerly validating their users&#8217; wildest delusions. In one wild test, an AI even encouraged a user to drive an iron nail through a mirror to banish a haunted doppelganger!</div> <div> <p class="p1"><span>&nbsp;</span>If that isn&#8217;t bizarre enough, scientists are successfully printing artificial neurons that can talk to living brain tissue, prompting a playful debate on the show about swapping out our dead brain cells with synthetic replacements while we sleep.</p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;Bobby spirals us into the cosmos to discuss how ancient <strong>Anunnaki aliens</strong> supposedly jammed human DNA to suppress our natural telepathy. Fortunately, Bobby&nbsp; notes that new Russian peptides and DMT-laced microtubules in the Pineal gland could be the key to curing that cosmic block and getting us communicating without words again.&nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">Bringing things back down to Earth, the crew hilariously roasts the eccentric fashion of the <strong>Met Gala</strong>. Standout bizarre looks include Janelle Mon&aacute;e rocking a cyber-dress made of retro computer parts and ethernet cables, Katy Perry sporting a robotic fencing mask, and avant-garde outfits featuring extra sculpted hands and built-in &#8220;companions&#8221; permanently clinging to the wearer. Yet, despite all the high-tech, cyber-chic oddities on the red carpet, the hosts express<span>&nbsp; </span>disappointment that not a single celebrity had the foresight to light up the event with Burning Man-style LED wire in the clothing art.. Enjoy!</p> <p class="p1"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 450px;" src="http://www.drfutureshow.com/storage/008 WTFuture_robots.jpeg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1778308549677" alt="" /></span></span></p> </div>
