tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

@peter "across a wide variety of embodi… well maybe not this one”

@peter

I want to know what happened to the teleoperator - it looks like they were hit from behind by a car (a self-crashing Tesla?)

[jberg@toot.community]

@peter it even raises its hand for a bit before completely stopping

[danielgibert@mastodon.online]

@peter The way it raises the hand "I'm fine… a little help, please…"

Also, absurdity of covering it as if it was a corpse… when everybody already filmed and photographed it… while having the corpse bag… eh… sheets already prepared for it… gives confidance.

@peter jajajajajajaja que le pongan una mantita arriba como si nada hubiera pasado es solo superado por cuando dicha mantita se cae para mostrar el cuerpo agonizante del robot jajajajaja

[thefathippy@mastodon.world]

@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?

[davidbcohen@twit.social]

@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
