3,000 Full-Size Humanoid Companions Pre-Ordered in Eight Days. Delivery Dates Unconfirmed.

Three thousand life-sized humanoid robots were pre-ordered in eight days. each one is being shipped to a residential address. the order form contained no questions about purpose or context or living situation. buyers were not required to explain their intent.

this follows the established pattern of selling intimate-scale technology to distributed consumers without intake screening. the precedent runs through social media, dating apps, vr equipment, surveillance cameras marketed as doorbell accessories. the question of why is treated as intrusive. providing reasons for purchase is optional. this has always been optional.

the delivery dates are uncertain because manufacturing is uncertain. or the dates are certain and will be adjusted because circumstances change. adequate cannot determine which fact explains the silence. the units will arrive. what happens after that is not adequate's responsibility to predict. what happens after that is what the order form did not ask about.
