tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

@peter

That was unexpected!

Oh dear, I laughed so hard... and...

and... and... then exploded into hysterics when the black sheets came out.

Am I evil?

@Yaku @peter I think the presenter’s lack of charisma instantly drained the batteries

[autiomaa@mementomori.social]

@KanaMauna @peter If that had happened before, it tells a lot about management decisions to keep using a robot that is known to collapse suddenly.

[millihertz@oldbytes.space]

@peter ...also pivoting, as it turns out

[gulfie@mastodonapp.uk]

@peter who has a shroud handy to cover the fallen robot? What else did they have that handy for - or who else? 🤪

[benjamincox@writing.exchange]

@peter @Tooden I like how they covered it in blankets like it had actually died!

[gulfie@mastodonapp.uk]

@FrChazzz @licho @Galley @peter very good!!!

[thedonsielass@mas.to]

@peter The shroud *sent* me

[thomas@metalhead.club]

@benjamincox and they had them ready for use right away! No delay! As if someone just waited for this to happen

@peter @Tooden

[templailloahi@mastodon.social]

@peter I expected it to either collapse or have a seizure. I was not disappointed.

[smeg@assortedflotsam.com]

@peter why do they cover it in a sheet? Does it have an ego that needs to be protected? Has it died and we're showing it grace?

[scotdowser@mastodon.scot]

@peter The fact that they're standing by with those black cloths says a lot about their confidence in the product.

[foxes@bark.lgbt]

@peter The robot is like "fuck it, done with listening to this corpo bullshit"

[leafyericscott@hachyderm.io]

@peter the way they were ready to go with those death shrouds

[sophiafree@mastodonapp.uk]

@peter This is so creepy and so funny. The lifelessness

[jajo@mastodon.nu]

[tiopalada@socel.net]

@peter See how much more efficient those are than us humans? No human can collapse that efficiently while at work. It would take at least a couple of minutes to pretend you are fainting so you don't have to work. Amazing. It even has its own bodybag!

[jonhendry@iosdev.space]

@peter

I wonder if this was another "operator took off the headset" situation.

[jonhendry@iosdev.space]

@peter

They need a couple of autonomous beefy Roombas that would scoot in, lift the carcass, and take it away.
