A startup called #Satyress #Robotics (🤔) has built a disaster response/ search and rescue #robot that's a 2 meter tall #centaur

i admire him
not for the dystopian or frightening quality of the project, it does turn many off
i admire him for committing so heavily to a vision, whatever the vision
how many of us have passing visions, we amuse ourselves with it and then... nothing. it passes to oblivion
not this guy
and no investors
so the techbro accusations are invalid
he's just a quirky dude with a quirky vision, working hard on it. it's not his fault douchebags might like it
@benroyce @Guillotine_Jones @fruchti “and no investors.”
The whole “designed to be easy to kill” really sinks this in. No one in tech will invest in a robot designed to be easily disabled.

) has built a disaster response/ search and rescue #robot that's a 2 meter tall #centaurSo I've been lost in the woods for two weeks. I'm feverish from the untreated water I drank and delirious because I've eaten very little
Then I see fucking #Terminator #Baphomet walk up on me
I don't think I'm being rescued
I think I've passed to the other side and I'm going to technohell- I'm being punished for being grumpy about #AI
@benroyce I was at a conference a few weeks back where they had cute little robot dogs walking around and even those freaked me out. Not ready for this future…

he's been at it for two years. no investors
that's one long con then
he articulates plausible reasons for the design choices (even the horns: he doesn't want it going indoors, he wants it to get stuck in doors)
"satyress" does sound like satire but it's a real word: it's a woman satyr
@benroyce I appreciate his engineering skills, and we can not expect every engineer to have the design chops of da Vinci. At the end of the day, this iron horsy girl isn't more ludicrous than, say, Elmo's two legged storm trooper robots.

@edsullivan @salixsericea weed whacker! 🤭
@benroyce @edsullivan Modify the head so it can graze!

@benroyce from the name it can be also satire, but at this point I am ready for anything.

@benroyce @Guillotine_Jones @fruchti The look of the thing really makes me think it’s a piece of artwork, not a mechanism. Too smooth, too graceful looking. Compare to the legs on any iRobot device and they look aesthetically pleasing in comparison.
@crow @Guillotine_Jones @fruchti
i also think he really likes centaurs and satyrs
i mean, *really* likes them
zero judgment: everyone has their kink, just to be clear
but i have a good suspicion about what his porn folder looks like

about those little cute dogs...

@benroyce I'm 100% sure it will be used for "crowd control" once the riots start.
that's what mounted polie are for, so yes, a centaur bot fits

@benroyce @mkoek what else did people expect?
The good thing is that robo dogs are easy to disable if you know what to do…
