          1. This is Baby Elis, a virtual baby influencer. Elis has been launched by the food market chain Ica in Sweden. On the instagram account babyElis people will be able to follow this marketing gimmick, partaking in tidbits from the virtual baby's "life". It's a brave new world.😬

          babyElis On #UncannyValley: Interviewer: "Do you still think that robot designers should aim for the first peak instead of aiming beyond the valley?" Masahiro Morio: "Yes, I do. I always tell them to stop there. Why do you have to take the risk and try to get closer to the other side?"

        The quote from Morio is from this interview. spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/an-uncanny-mind-masahiro-mori-on-the-uncanny-valley "Bukimi no tani", or uncanny valley, was first coined by Mori in the 1970s. His paper is translated here: spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/the-uncanny-valley

      Here's my update with the correct link to the Insta account, and also to mention that the account was launched with an ultrasound pic "This pic is from a year ago." Topping it off... Baby Elis is posting stories. Somebody is having fun at work... instagram.com/bebiselis?igshid=8o5hbowuutdr

    You may have just forgotten about baby Elis. I'm here to remind you. I'm thoughtful like that.
