tech is pivoting to humanoid robots!!

@licho @Galley @peter better keep the shroud, can become valuable in thousand years if the robot leaves the marks

[yaku@puntarella.party]

@peter Has their blood sugar dropped?

@peter Me when my kids say I’m from the 1900s

@peter
Oof... Getting it straight into a body bag and carried out is a vibe.

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@peter Quälkom.

@peter The sheet was good, but they forgot to draw a chalk outline around it for maximum humour...

[doctorg_1@social.vivaldi.net]

@peter "He is dead! Jim." would have been said by Doctor McCoy.

The Doctor (with the TARDIS) could have said: "I eliminated this Cyberman with my Sonic Screwdriver."

@peter

But other than that, umm.. also 2026 humanoid robots

@peter it's an apple product, had emptied it's battery in 5 minutes xD

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

[isol@mastodon.au]

@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!
