tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

@peter After seeing it walk across the stage I was waiting to hear it go "PUIINNN ONNA RIIIIISS"

[zeroday@podcasts.social]

@peter it must be these AI thingy that everyone is talking about.

[keengrasp@layer8.space]

@peter it will spend eternity in limbo

[fullywoolly@mastodon.social]

@peter I love that it falls backward then throws its hand up like ... Nope I'm fine.

Then they just cover it like a corpse they don't want to look at pretending to be an invisibility cloak. They were ready to do that. This won't be distracting at all.

@peter omg, the instant body bags…I literally laughed out loud. Rest in pieces, little resistance bot, rest in pieces.

[theshellytea@mastodon.art]

@peter this is public art, surely

[franciswashere@arvr.social]

@peter Ouch!

[missconstrue@mefi.social]

@thefathippy @peter

We’re not evil, we’re just aware of the Dadaist absurdity of this timeline, and can appreciate the moments of hilarity that ensue.

Or in the words of the redneck prophet: I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there.

[brokar@mastodon.social]

@bluestarultor @peter

At least now everybody's talking about it

[chieroglyph@infosec.exchange]

@r1ekeh @peter

Connection port for the charging seat?

[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]

@darwinwoodka @peter

To be fair it's not much good as either. I was attempting to be generous

[thestrangelet@beige.party]

@peter I'd say roughly a 100° pivot at the knees.

[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.

[tidalflats@mastodon.coffee]

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

[jmopp@masto.ai]

@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
