This week, Simon and Eugene look at the second episode of Real Humans, season 2, where they discuss the changes between the last season and this, or lack thereof, the loss of some of the interesting ambiguities, and whether there is a Swedish TV body count limit.

Next Week: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The Sky’s on Fire.

Can we have a Real Humans movement?

Like, not racism but against fictional android workers, but human-curated net, real-world connection building, local area solidarity, international solidarity, grass roots everything, and total boycott of anything "AI"?

War heute bei Hansi dem Bass-Meister. Wir haben unser Vorhaben grob strukturiert. Es wird gegen Abend in der heutigen Folge TBL No. 19 auch wieder Videomaterial geben. So wie ihr es von mir gewohnt seid. Ich nehme euch überall mit hin. (Außer zur Lohnarbeit!) - BTW Wir sind echte Menschen. Keine KI Prompts!

We have been watching "Humans" (2015), the UK remake of the Swedish "Äkta människor" (2012, "[Real Humans]"), and we're just about coming up on the last episode.

The Swedish one was surprisingly well-produced for a Swedish sci-fi, but the UK one is simply Very Good Sci-Fi and Very Good TV.

I can absolutely understand if people appreciate the atmosphere of the Swedish one, but generally I'd say watch the UK one first. If you liked that one *and* you like Scandinavian TV, watch the Swedish one after that.

This week, Simon and Eugene look at Season one, Episode six of Real Humans: Sly Leo. They discuss the current draw of parallel universe USB-A, the paradox of tolerance applied to free will for Hubots, translating smutty Hubot magazines, and downloading sex drives.

…and, of course, sex with robots.

This week, Simon and Eugene look at season one, episode four of Real Humans: Semi-human rights.

They discuss non-human rights within the Swedish legal system, whether the uncanny valley is legally mandated, and whether HuBots are capable of actually lying or just crafty deception.

Oh, and maybe they also mention sex with robots.

On this episode of Fusion Patrol, Simon and Eugene will examine Season 1, Episode 2 of Real Humans, “Trust No One.”

They discuss having a criminal investigation division for a particular kind of technology and what their sniffer dogs are smelling, robo-nature versus robo-nurture, and they question our hetero-robosexual outlook as we discuss even more sex with robots.

#Podcast #RealHumans

This week, we begin our coverage of the 2012 Swedish sci-fi series, Äkta människor, more commonly known in the English-speaking world as “Real Humans.”

I’ve waxed on in earlier posts how much we enjoyed watching and talking about Real Humans, and I hope you find it interesting, too.

The series was produced in 2012 by SVT, the Swedish national television channel. It’s set an in alternate 2012 timeline where human-like robots, called “hubots,” are commonplace in homes, businesses, and (perhaps slightly less overtly) bedrooms.

It tackles themes of exploitation, prejudice, free will, friendship, sexual attraction, and the ubiquity of the USB-A port.

The program has two series, each ten episodes long. Our coverage of Series One begins this Saturday, July 20th, 2024.

How you can watch the show for yourself will depend on your country and the tech you have available. Swedish Blu-rays are available in places like Amazon but may not play in your player. If you can get around that, I’m not aware of any releases in English or even with English subtitles. Fan-produced subtitle files are available at opensubtitles.com.

Real Humans may also be available on streaming services in your country. Good luck!

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-4043 #realhumans #robots #boeken Donderdag 16-07-2014 Vorige week keken we 's avonds in hoog tempo naar de tien afleveringen van het tweede seizoen van 'Real Humans', de Zweedse serie over de integratieproblemen van zeer menselijke robots in de samenleving. Moeten ze dezelfde rechten krijgen als 'echte mensen'? Aanvankelijk kwam de nieuwe serie wat moeizaam op gang, maar daarna konden we er haast niet mee stoppen. 'Kijken we er nóg eentje?', luidde..

Kann ich damit wem eine Freude machen? Dann gern melden. Ich werde die Reihen nicht mehr komplettieren, darum dürfen sie ausziehen - getrennt oder gemeinsam. 

Zustand bei allen optisch ok, aber ungetestet. Es mag auch mal ein Zähnchen der Halterung fehlen oder ein Knick im Cover sein.

Get your comments in for this week’s recordings. Monday, 15-Jan-2024: The X-Files Die Hand Die Verletzt, and Wednesday, 17-Jan-2024: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Unchained Woman.

Next week: Children of the Dog Star, Swamp Light and Alien Summons, and Real Humans, Sly Leo.

I’ve completed my acoustic barrier just in time to record our 666th episode.

Of course, it’s not designed to block out all sound; it’s really about suppressing echoes and dampening outside sounds. Hopefully, it will help. It certainly sounds very different when talking inside the barrier.

See if you can tell a difference. The first episode recorded inside the barrier will drop on Saturday, the 20th of January. It’s our look at The X-Files episode Die Hand, Die Verletzt.

Of course, I’m telling you this on January 14th, less than seven days from release, which means our patrons on Patreon will not get the episode a whole week before the main release. Regrettably, scheduling issues prevented Simon and me from recording before tomorrow.

Which leads me to this week’s apology. You might recall that I had a fiasco during December with the quotas for the releases in December. I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to work around that, and it did prevent me from posting January’s episodes until the January rollover on my quota. It’s still not quite straightened out.

This really threw off my “routine” of posting, and that is a disaster waiting to happen.

Let me tell you a story about my days in Information Technology. One of the many things I did in my career was manage a data center that had, among other things, IBM AS/400s (later IBM iSeries) midrange computers. These computers are multiuser systems rather like very small mainframes for those unfamiliar. They have lots of redundancy and a very high uptime. These systems were typically used for mission-critical business applications, often in finance, insurance, inventory, etc.

As such, any reputable company will have maintenance agreements on their computers, and IBM, to their credit, will treat you very well when you need service.

When I started working with AS/400s, I worked for a company that wasn’t willing to spend on maintenance contracts, and so I learned and did the maintenance myself. I daresay that, by the end of that, I was qualified to diagnose, field strip, fix, and reassemble most problems with an AS/400.

Then I went to work for an organization that paid for maintenance contracts, and so I would sit on the sidelines when IBM would do maintenance and repairs. We had our usual technician, and I had a lot of respect for him. We’d talk about the systems while he’d work and it was clear to me that (duh) he knew more about the systems than I did.

He knew what he was doing backward and forward. Where I had performed dozens of repairs on just a couple of systems, he’d done hundreds, if not thousands, on many different systems.

…and yet, he used to do something that drove me nuts.

No matter how simple the procedure, he cracked open the manual with a checklist of steps and performed every one every time. Many of those steps were unnecessary depending on the particular circumstances, and he knew that, but he did them and checked them off every single time.

One day, I finally asked him about it, and he fully and freely admitted that he was taking unnecessary steps, but he said, “By doing so, I never make a mistake on somebody else’s mission-critical system by forgetting something or making a false assumption. The customer pays for the job to be done right. Problems can still happen, but I’ve done my due diligence.”

It made sense. It wasn’t his system, and he was being very conscientious, but it didn’t necessarily sway me for “my own” systems.

Then, my organization got cheap. They put the maintenance contract out to bid and another company took over. They too were competent, and the guy who did our work was knowledgeable, and I had no qualms that he was capable of the work. He didn’t use the checklist, though.

You can see where this is going, right?

He fluffed one, and the hard drive RAID array was broken, wiping our system and all the data. We had the proper backups and restored and returned to full operations, but it took 36-48 hours to do the full restores. He was chagrined, and I slept on a cot in the data center for two nights.

After that, I also very much adopted the habit of using checklists, and when following printed instructions, I treat them as checklists, too.

…and when I don’t do that is when I screw up.

I have a checklist for posting podcasts, and I was not following it while I was scrambling with the quota problem. As such, I screwed up the posts for our Patreon subscribers. I noticed the problem when I was posting this past week’s bonus Babylon 5 episode, Exogenesis. I unclogged the jam and dropped two additional episodes that should have been released earlier.

Inexcusable, I’m afraid, and I hate making that mistake in the same week when I have to delay this week’s Patreon post until Monday, but there it is. I’ll see if I can’t come up with a bonus something just for patrons as an apology.

With our recordings this week, we will hopefully return to our routine schedule of two weekly sessions.

This real human @LoneLocust has some correct thoughts on #RealHumans which, coincidentally*, I’m also watching. https://fusionpatrol.com/2023/10/31/patrolling-beyond-fusion-musings-on-real-humans/

Dank @fraueickmann gerade mal wieder in der #arte-Mediathek gestöbert. Und entdeckt, dass dort gerade beide Staffeln von #RealHumans verfügbar sind. Alleine schon wegen des Soundtracks sehr zu empfehlen.
