tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

[ophis@brain.worm.pink]

@zazzoo @peter watching it at first it's hard not think on some subconscious level "oh baby you're taking your first steps! come on now, come on, you're doing *so good!*"

anyway i'm starting to susepct if some of these guys had taken more time off to bond with their children the world might be a tiny bit less unhinged

[ophis@brain.worm.pink]

@zazzoo @peter (or at least that's only after my mind fully registers that this is supposed to be new, WIP tech... the visual impact before that sinks in is more "oh my god that poor old man why are they bringing him on stage like this he needs help")

[zer0unplanned@friendica.rogueproject.org]

@chieroglyph @r1ekeh @peter No way ! no distribution or connection in fact a kill switch we need for those as they gonna kill us all.

@peter #Chunderroad
Eh, we already have rock stars that can collapse on stage.
Let me know when they can do this:

@peter I can't wait for all the viral video supercuts of humanoid robots falling over in hilarious ways

[landley@mstdn.jp]

@doragasu @peter It left debris on the floor at the end there. The guy only picked up the largest piece, there was more...

[p3ter@mastodon.social]

@peter Why put billions of resources into this, rather than investing it in having healthy, happy and creative human beings?

...how is anyone going to fall in love with a waiter/waitress anymore - if it's only vending machines and robots all over?

[shadsterling@mastodon.social]

@peter you’d think that one advantage of the robot being humanoid is that when it collapses you can carry it on a stretcher, but they don’t seem to have prepared for that

[jjlitke@wandering.shop]

@peter I like how it tries to flip off the crowd as its final dying gesture

[casandro@f-ckendehoelle.de]

@doragasu @peter Well probably just something like a few thousand dollars in repairs. Nothing to serious.

[casandro@f-ckendehoelle.de]

@cmdrSprocket @distincteclare @peter Ja... und man hätte die eigentlich auch nicht gebraucht. Am Ende haben die den ja auch so weggetragen. Das hat kein Bisschen Würde in die Situation gebracht.

@peter This was the little uplift my day needed

[gerardo@mast.hpc.social]

@ShadSterling: At least they had the black sheets on hand!

This robot physically expressing how the world feels right now in this timeline.

@ophis @zazzoo @peter >implying they're actually interested in their children as anything more than mobile gene torpedoes

[ophis@brain.worm.pink]

@risperdoll @zazzoo @peter yup

but really that kinda goes to my point... they've ideologically cut off that part of their reproductive system and it's going to manifest in weird ways like spending obscene resources on humanoid beings that struggle to learn basic tasks

[risperdoll@social.xenofem.me]

@ophis @zazzoo @peter they should do the prosocial thing and either transition about it or become some sort of like, og pederasts, picking a junior to engage in intercrural intercourse with whilst injecting their memes into their minds

[primavera@void.lgbt]

@peter it moves (and falls) with the agility and grace of an arthritic 90 yo with parkinson's; anyway, I am sure this is money well spent

[helianthropy@tech.lgbt]

@peter The presenter looking expectantly at the remaining debris…

Did they, like, turn it off right away every time it got the presentation right? It nailed the hard part.

@peter Better than Marion Cotillard in Batman !
