unintentional or intentional brilliant marketing
but then i wonder exactly what fucking market they are aiming for
@benroyce @fruchti
This "Three Halves" robot gave me a very strong hit of, "This is an art project with distinct Dadaist and between-the-2-World-Wars pacifist vibes," Ben.
Dystopian times birth dystopian art, in my opinion.
I, for one, think we're being punked very cleverly by someone with a sense of humor that aligns very nicely with my own -- right down to the Baphomet head.

I wanted to post this somewhere else last week. Did not do it.
Here is the right place, me thinks.
Time for Mrs. Emma Peel and John Steed again ! -
@benroyce 3rd iteration has 6 legs
4th has 8 etc...
@staringatclouds mechanical centipede abomination here we come!

@benroyce I think my joke would be three horses and one fancy horse and insisting they are all horses indeed.

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 @salixsericea I’m just glad he didn’t outfit the thing with a leaf blower.

Bong hits 4 quadruped robots with sinister heads.i agree
he has been working in obscurity for 2 years on this
so we can say it's not manufactured and fake provocation, this is the dude's real deal
i would also entertain the notion he is completely authentic: he is not trying to get a reaction from us, that he sincerely believes he is delivering an honest product
so it's tongue-in-cheek art project or sincere work of a bizarre dude. but we both agree it's not fake bizarreness for the sake of media drama

@TeflonTrout @benroyce I'm not pulling out my knife to stab the metal horse wielding a chainsaw in my face.
Makes the "shoot it in the saddle" approach seem a little saner, though.
Oh yeah, if it has a chainsaw I'm not going after it with a knife lol

A startup called #Satyress #Robotics (
) 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 oh dear, it's all happening again.

@macacator you can't refuse. you've chosen battle then
@benroyce THEN IT IS A BATTLE IT SHALL HAVE!

@benroyce They really did themselves a disservice with the looks of it. This should be slapped with all the firefight department logos. And get rid of the damn horns. Other than that, it might actually be a pretty cool robot. Provided it works.
@AubreyDeLosDestinos @benroyce You can sit on it and hold its horns like you're riding a motorcycle.

@plantagolabs @benroyce They are hand-made in a small village located deep upstream in the Uncanny Valley.
Or if not exactly hands, for they are certainly not hands in any form that a human would recognise as being hands, but they are still appendages that serve a similar function, for the strange creatures that control them.

@benroyce I saw it three days ago, and thought it was the most heavy metal prop like the gigantic spider in the entrance of Hellfest on France
