The shrouding is …

@peter *immediately approaches malfunctioning biped robot*

[fwaggle@moodoo.org]

@peter At the risk of anthropomorphising the robot, I kinda felt the falling over backwards then sticking its hand up to say "I'm okay, I just need a minute"

[ingalovinde@embracing.space]

@owl @peter but it tried to show after that!

[woolie@mastodon.social]

@peter this is not the droid you’re looking for

[nullagent@partyon.xyz]

Absolute comedy.

Humanoid robots, no matter how power efficient always have this insanely dangerous failure mode of falling the fuck over that wheeled robots just don't suffer from ‍️

I don't care how "helpful" these bots might be in a home. Just imagine it falling on a small kid or pet...

@peter

[kshernandez@me.dm]

@peter Why do they always cover it up like we can unsee that it just fell clean apart for no reason.

@peter @nullagent this is everything I've come to expect from qualcomm

Avoiding bad pictures (but it's too late)

@peter

[neirbowj@mastodon.online]

@peter "I'm fine!"

@LovingFalloutLondon1954

Phew!

[ruenahcmohr@infosec.exchange]

@peter But interesting point, have you seen the human robots performing tasks OTHER than these presentation things where they fail hard?
These are the next bubble. useless humanoids...

[anarcoraxa@todon.eu]

@peter The robot had had enough of humanity, committed suicide on-camera.

[nekoplanet@mastodon.social]

@peter rest in pieces

[evilstevie@mastod1.ddns.net]

@peter less "pivoting to" and more "swiveling on"

[silverhawke@blimps.xyz]

@peter the way they put black cloth on it is so hilarious

they even had to make it way easier for it by having a gentle slope to the stage

[colinkinloch@mastodon.social]

@peter Quick, drape a cloth over it before anyone notices what's happened!

@ShelbyvonTrapp @peter watched the GIF cycle 20+ times and I’ll likely go back for 200+ more.

Every frame of the original video after the first frame showing collapse starting is such a commentary on where we’re at right now.

The comedic attempt at cover up and removal, the lame attempt by the presenter to continue on in the face of such a fuck up. The polite (but clearly insincere) applause after the total collapse of any sanity of a presentation.

Welcome to our timeline, ladies, gentlemen, and others! Welcome to the future!
