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 Wasn’t expecting the ‘stab here to stop the robot’ and ‘you are mostly safe from it indoors’ directly on the landing page

@benroyce I'm looking forward to realistic centaur costumes that have properly articulating legs
Professor Firenze from Harry Potter or nothing!

@benroyce The safety features are just so bizarre. It can be equipped with extra large horns so it cannot go through standard doors, and the emergency stop is shooting at it with a gun.
This has to be made by a diabolical alliance between techbros and hillbillies.

@benroyce Terminator Baphomet was the name of my black metal band.

@benroyce just make sure you have your Satanic Temple membership card on you at all times.

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT HAVE THAT HEAD? 𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄!
it's so unnecessary and yet... so perfect. perfectly horror movie
btw you can't kill it with fire. he had search and rescue in the woods during a fire in mind when designing it

@VWDasher oh come on man, sounds like the start of a great party! 🤪
@benroyce I'm opting for the pay per view version thanks, from a distance!

@benroyce This is clearly a PR stunt to get people talking about their company. These are professionally taken photographs and they knew what it would look like. Don't talk about them, that was their intention. Fucking silicon valley.

yes the idea you can give exposure to things that shouldn't get exposure is a real concern
but come on! this is so insane!
we deserve to laugh
plus he's had the website up for 2 years and got only 30 hits a day, only then going viral
he has no investors
sometimes quirky is just quirky, not artificially manipulated quirk
-
It's a joke right? Is it even real? Is it just faked images or it doesn't really work?:

Hmmm
It seems to be an earnest guy hard at work on a sincere garage project
You could say he gets points for, uh, diabolical marketing
But I tend to think it's an overexposed reveal of one dude's rather personal, honest, and quirky enthusiasms that went unintentionally viral
@benroyce Totes real because changing a single letter in "satyress" gives you "satire ss",

@benroyce I would be absolutely terrified if the statue I saw on a hike yesterday had a fucking chainsaw.

.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 Those horns are entirely impractical though. They'll get stuck in the plant life.

we're VERY far from cute with this centaur!

apparently it's a conscious design decision to prevent it from going indoors
but yes: not exactly a well-thought out design decision
