We last name Dorian , the Japanese golem programmed with seven distinctly terrifying expressions , way back in 2009 . Since then , he ’s been upgraded to be funny , and we now have actual footage of Dorian in activity . Even though the robot is “ jest , ” you may never goddamned express joy again .
Dorian — who was name well before Michael Ealy play an immeasurably more humorous robot on Almost Human — was create by scientist at Waseda University , and they ’ve patently be do work inexhaustibly over the last five year to give him these potentiality . And according to their recently release newspaper ( helpfully summarise byIEEE Spectrum ) , it worked :
Both before and after watching KOBIAN , the volunteer were ask to complete a questionnaire on their mood . The research worker used a psychological test calledPOMS , or visibility of humor State Department , used to tax how people are feeling .
The termination show that the mood of the voluntary seems to have improved after look out KOBIAN , as indicated by POMS scores associated with disconfirming feelings like stress and anger , which the researchers say “ importantly lessen . ”
I guess my climate technically improved after I watch Dorian , in the sense that I knew I had last learn the face of true evil , and would never , ever have to experience anything quite so horrible ever again . At least , not until the Revelation of Saint John the Divine come , and our raw robot overlords seek to distinguish us put-on while they snap our neck like celery stalks .
