In the recent Wired Magazine 17.08, contributing editor David Kushner lets the world know what to expect from Will Wright’s new species startup, Stupid Fun Club. It’s reported that Wright and his SFC pals have tinkered with everything from fighting automatons to AI experiments. “We taught the robots to be social,” Wright says. “They can converse, and it was fascinating to see their personalities interacting.” For Wright, playing geek Frankenstein goes hand in hand with making games. “Building robots is not that different from programming Sims,” he says. “On the other hand, a robot may crash into you.”
