Russia’s first humanoid AI robot fell over seconds into its official unveiling, with staff hurriedly struggling to pull a curtain across the stage to hide the fallen machine.

    Nature is amazing but has different constraints and doesn’t always choose the smartest route.

    We can use computers, motors and sensors instead of replicating the human body exactly. A lot of startups are failing and there’s a cash grab like always going on, but the tech is rapidly advancing. Boston dynamics for example has an impressive demo up ( https://youtu.be/I44_zbEwz_w ). There’s definitely still a long way to go in any case

    Personally, I think it’s really cool (except the fact that it will be quickly weaponized and eventually used against civilian populations)
