The Virtual overlapping with the Real

Came across this clip after watching one robot trying to pick a fight with another.

Oddly enough it reminds me of Second Life in how it behaves.

Maybe it won't be that long before we have Avatars in real life (or maybe they're already here)! I know that there's a film called Surrogates (featuring Bruce Willis) which is "set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots". They're almost doing that now.

You know, I think the "real future" is a lot weirder than anything dreamt up in fiction at times!

Wow, that's... fucked. She looks real, but you can still tell she isn't a human. But it was freaking me out!
