Have I mentioned my favorite psychological hypothesis called "the uncanny valley" before?

I think I have. Especially in the world of video games, creators have been struggling with this for a long time. Its creepy but its a good thing. It means progress. We're slowly but surely working our way around it and improving. Here are links to some of my favorite most recent stories about it.


The wikipedia page for your definitions and examples.
