@peter "Does anyone here know mouth-to-...USB?"

@peter I thought the guy was Michael Scott. The robot and the funeral workers didn't prove me wrong.

@peter @espanabizarra Me fascinan esos estertores, y los que saltan rápidamente para cubrir el cadáver con telas negras. Gran día me das con este vídeo!

@peter See on it's face, the twink just before it falls : "Boring, boring, boring... Bye "

@smeg @peter That's a Chinese tradition. They also cover cars, which caught fire, and remove the vendor emblems.

@peter They have always got the tarps at the ready, don't they?

[plantagolabs@mastodon.social]

@peter Hooooooo snap!

@peter the room looks like they are giving a panel at a small time local anime convention

Oh god help my poor aching ribs.

Points to the person who followed the real event and not some boring old fart

@peter Look at how useless it is even when it's working. Slowly walking to deliver whatever that was. Wow, what a time saver, such a great demo.

The nice thing about robots is you can make them any shape, give them any propulsion method, fine tune their abilities to a specific task.

But techbros keep going for general-purpose humanoid because they can imagine they're people and they want to control people and have slaves.

@peter why do the people present don't react like this

[c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io]

@peter it’s not holding the tray, boy it’s slow, this is very awkward that this shuffling thing is your showcase… oh my god, it just flops over bending backwards at the spine! *hysterical laughter*

[bmebenji@mstdn.social]

@peter I believe we just witnessed the rapture. This automaton was the only pure soul

[rhube@wandering.shop]

@peter The decision to cover it up like it's a dead body...

[earwigplanet@mastodon.social]

@peter Not Threepio!

@peter

Looking at its "eye" one can see it turns from ━━ to ■ before it blinks and then collapses.

Like mimicking a cyclope before knock-out.
