hard reset: speak with Sophia and nko

Welcome to Hard Reset, where art meets technology! Join us as the renowned social humanoid robot Sophia engages in a captivating conversation with the artist nko. This unique performance delves into the complexities of human-machine interactions, addressing the gaps between our expectations of seamless technological progress and the unpredictable realities of real-time operations.

🤖 What to Expect:

• Encounter inspiring dialogue addressing critical questions:
  • How will our treatment of non-bio intelligence shape future care frameworks?
  • What projections are being made?
  • How can we simulate emotion and intention in humanoids?
  • What insights do robots offer about humanity?

🎮 Join nko and multiple large language models in an interactive setting where you can control Sophia's gestures using an instruction set. Embrace the glitches and get AI-sloppy with us!
