I saw that when it came out. I really hope we don’t build humanoid robots and give them any sort of intelligence...

Although this was meant to display a new graphics/audio engine, I was intrigued with the story arc that we *weren’t* building robots with intelligence, but one just happened to pop out and the interviewer let it go into the mainstream, even though he shouldn’t have.
Now I want to see the movie.

Well, the premise of that short is that we are building androids/gynoids with life-like personalities, AKA trying to build a virtual intelligence rather than an actual intelligence. To win at that game, from a business perspective, you basically have to push the edge between the two. Think of Tyrell Corporation’s motto from Blade Runner, “More human than human.”
The very concept makes me uncomfortable. Not because they creep me out, but because of the awful things people will do to these robots.

Huh, that’s interesting. I didn’t get that more negative view. Yes, they are producing [compliant] slaves, yes that’s prolly bad, but this Kara wasn’t expected, not planned, and not looked for. Only the humanity of the interviewer allowed it to exist.
Obviously, different strokes. Unferturnately, I think your fears are more a prediction of the future than anything I have thought about.

Kara gets to live, but she’s still going to be packaged and sold. Maybe she’ll have a happy end a la Bicentennial Man (fantastic film), maybe not.
I also shudder to think about the possibility of the iFixit concept (i.e. let’s see how fixable this device is by taking it apart and how durable it is by performing “stress tests”) being applied to androids. That’s something I saw as a comic and it was heart-wrenching.
