tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

@peter @rmondello nothing ships units like hauling a corpse off stage during your presentation

@peter

I actually watched this through to the end, hoping for the robot to just spontaneously start thrashing around and someone to get kicked in the groin.

That didn't happen.

@peter
Why am I reminded of this scene from The IT Crowd.

[brokar@mastodon.social]

@peter With this in a presentation i'm never sure if this was really an accident or if this is part of a clever marketing strategy. Like the Bluescreen in Gates' presentation. Or the "forgotten" IPhone prototype in a bar. Just to create a memorable incident to lead more views towards and focus on the product and to stay in the discussions, make it unforgettable.

@peter Thank you for that, it was an excellent series of laughs. The little hand held up! The shroud! They were very quick with the shroud.

@peter RIP

@autiomaa @KanaMauna @peter well, it didn’t explode like the other ones did. Still the best choice.

[shironeko@fedi.tesaguri.club]

@peter they had the black tarps ready to go

[bluestarultor@tech.lgbt]

@Brokar @peter Okay, but this thing lost a whole foot and also shattered, leaving shards of plastic all over. So not only did it fail, but it looks like cheap materials.

@crankylinuxuser @peter amazing / scary

@peter the Argentine FA did a bid on this robot, they like his moves.

Ahhh, guess it’s dead…

[venitamathias@masto.ai]

@oli @peter T-800, I'll be back.

[passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social]

@peter man, you people just expect things to last forever. It’s a box delivering robot, it delivered a box, throw it away already. What were you going to do, try and have it carry a second box? You’re just being cheap.

That’s how I imagine rich people anyway.

[mcslibinas@mastodon.social]

@Rhube @peter they has the sheet to cover

[funkula@goblin.camp]

@peter love how it's standard practice at these demos to have people standing by, ready to swoop in with a shame tarp

[sandorspruit@mastodon.nl]

@peter @xs4me2 Oh man. I have fucked up a demonstration once or twice but this is next level

[yon@sakurajima.moe]

@peter Qualcomm, probably overheated…

Also they had that robot bag ready, they knew.

[xs4me2@mastodon.social]

@sandorspruit @peter

Very!

🥳
