On Friday, I made myself a nice lunch of lentil soup, cheese, and
pickles, and I sat down with it to watch The Robots of Death.

The Age of Leela continues. The Doctor disapproves of Leela's weaponry,
and I like that she listens to him, takes him seriously, and still
practices her own philosophy of being prepared for danger.

This one is unusual in that some of the station workers have different accents. It's subtle, still easy for a British child to understand, but
it's clear they're originally from different areas. I take this as
deliberate, to indicate that the workers came from different areas, and perhaps that's one of the reasons they argue so much.

The Doctor says that it's natural for humans to be uneasy around robots
-- the more of them there are, the greater the unease, and then of
course there's the increasing dependence. That sounds highly relevant
today. If one of the robots does prove to be a killer, the Doctor
predicts the end of their civilization. What will we do, after we're thoroughly dependent on AI and then one does something horrible?

"If you're bleeding, look for a man with scars." That's rather pithy. I
may adopt Leela's tribe's saying.

We're told that robophobia develops because the robots walk and talk but
make no eye contact and use no body language. This may be why today's real-life developers are trying to get AI voices to pause and stammer
more.

This is a great episode which I thoroughly enjoyed. The plot is
excellent, and all the performances are stellar.

I don't think that had anything to do with them being from different
areas of Britain. All the white actors spoke with British upper class
accents whereas the one who was Asian spoke with an Indian accent, and
Leela spoke like Leela which was closer to how ordinary people speak
more or less like Sarah Jane but showing there were things she did not understand like mixing up feelings meaning emotions with feelings as in
pain or comfort and sense of touch. But to her credit she knew which box
the Doctor showed her was bigger despite the Doctor placing it further
away than the smaller one.

They all sounded upper class to me except for the one who was Indian.
There might have been another foreign accent but I can't remember who
had it. It's in the modern stuff where they all sound like they're from
all over the place. Look at Gatwa whose accent changed every two or
three words and wasn't even British. No wonder American viewers rejected
him.

You programme them with Asimov's Laws of Robotics including the 0th Law
to make sure that the don't. Today's AI programmers need to learn how to
this. They still haven't sussed it.

"If you're bleeding, look for a man with scars." That's rather pithy. I
may adopt Leela's tribe's saying.

That was a good one. There was also the Doctor talking about the inverse
ratio between the size of your brain and how much you open and close
your mouth, or something like that.

We're told that robophobia develops because the robots walk and talk but
make no eye contact and use no body language. This may be why today's real-life developers are trying to get AI voices to pause and stammer
more.

They're getting them to copy real people talking and inflecting words in specific sentences in the same manner. All they need to do is find the
passage they're going to say or something similar in something that's
already been recorded and compressed using the AMR or Speex codecs and
then they pass the stress, pitch, and inflection information, along with
the vocalisations of the vowels and consonants straight to the
electronic voice generator which uses the same principles as AMR and
Speex to create natural speech the same way every voice you hear on a
mobile phone is not the actual voice of the person you are speaking to
but a complete simulation of it. It's also the same way deepfake voices
are constructed to sound exactly like existing actors or people
suffering from ALS so you can't tell the difference. Even AI from over
10 years ago like Edge text to speech can do it almost completely
naturally and in multiple accents. The main problem with it is not the
realism but the AI not knowing the difference between words like bow and
bow, which even humans can't figure out. Bow as in the thing that fires
arrows and bow the thing that you do in front of a king or queen. Or did
I originally mean say them the other way around?

The voice used by Stephen Hawking is 1980s technology. Things have
progressed massively since then. AI singers can already sing better and express the lyrics better than the degenerate human singers of today and
are not topping the official UK pop chart, https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/chart-topping-singer-turns-out-to-be-ai/ar-AA20DErp

Unlike the robots in The Robots of Death, which wore solid face masks
over their electronics, modern humanoid robots try to mimic facial
expressions and eye movements. But it's still probably easier to figure
out what a cat is thinking. The Android Invasion and The Androids of
Tara obviously used more advanced robotics so that no one could tell the difference unless you asked things only the real person they were
simulating could remember.

This is a great episode which I thoroughly enjoyed. The plot is
excellent, and all the performances are stellar.

10/10

Yes. Unlike The Robot Revolution which taught us nothing whatsoever
about robotics or AI and their impact on civilisation because it was
written by sexually depraved degenerate pervert who accused everyone
watching of being incles and uses everything that he writes in order to sexually groom underage children to experiment in homosexuality.

Stuff written 50 years ago comes closer to describing modern AI than
anything the pervert Russell T Davies has ever written. Even Moffat's
The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People doesn't come close.

I think Big Finish did a series based on the Robots from the
civilisation described in The Robots of Death but I can't remember what
it was called.

I think Big Finish did a series based on the Robots

but I can't remember what it was called.

Both Big Finish and Magic Bullet produced audio adventures based
on "The Robots of Death"...

Big Finish called their range, "The Robots", whilst Magic Bullet
produced the "Kaldor City" series.

Big Finish also did a couple of 'sequel' stories; "The Sons of
Kaldor" was a Fourth Doctor adventure with Tom Baker and Louise
Jameson, whilst "Robophobia" was a Seventh Doctor story... with
McCoy.

ANd your problem is?

In fairness, there isn't really any "correct" when it comes
to Usenet full stop. There might be RFC's and conventions
around netiquette but it's still a case of anything goes at
the end of the day... as we often see here! ;-)

Usenet is the "alt" of social media!

Pig's Arse, Blueshirt .... UseNet was around WAAAAAAYYY before Social
Media was even dreamed of.

And, by-the-by, I've just added alt.drwho to this server account. 100 messages!! Let's see if there is anything different in there. ;-P

That's another NG I should add.

Which brings to mind one of the problems I have with my SeaMonkey Suite. Apparently, back in the day when it was Netscape Navigator or Mozilla
Suite, it was able to also mark cross-posts as READ but the Developers
HAD to disable this "Marking Cross-posts Read" function.

Bugger them!! ;-P
