I guess they will eventually get there. It is interesting to point out though that the first robot is only shown from the torso down. Guess it has some support?
Am I missing something, or did they just dress up a woman with a prosthetic leg to resemble an android, and remove the dressing around the prosthetic to “prove” she isn’t human?
This seems to be the really interesting part: “…the bot also contains the “first all-solid-state battery in the industry,” as opposed to the liquid electrolyte typically found in lithium-ion batteries. Solid-state batteries are considered the “holy grail” for electric vehicle development …”
“We’re at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift.”
What a weird fucking tagline on an article that insinuates a robotic dystopian future.
Although there are some weird horny undertones, so I guess it checks out. Still, weird article all around
They know what grabs people’s attention.
“We’ve now constructed the doomsday machine from the popular novel ‘Don’t build the doomsday machine’”
I like the original “torment nexus” phrasing better.
Ah I was quoting from memory. You’re right the torment nexus line is better.
You have an overly broad definition of “doomsday machine.”
Press X to doubt
In a follow-up event to prove it was a robot, He Xiaopeng had its leg skin cut open in front of a live audience. The robot then walked off the stage.
that one was AI video i believe.
What clickbait. Apparently any vaguely capable humanoid robot is a “straight-up Terminator”?
That’s the most “Terminator” looking robot I’ve ever seen.
So far. Since Terminators are capable humanoid robots and the goal is to make capable humanoid robots each improvement is going to look more like a Terminator. And also like every other capable humanoid robot from other sci-fi as well, good bad or neutral.
The only reason to leap to “OMG it’s a Terminator!” Is to bait the clicks.
each improvement is going to look more like a Terminator.
Not necessary. Not wanted. Just a grift.
Well to be fair, they didn’t have to give it machine gun arms and red glowing eyes. But maybe that’s just me.
It looks the a Terminator “under the hood”. I doubt anyone was trying to sell a “living tissue over metal endoskeleton” kinda headline.
If you can’t handle me at my Roy Baty you don’t deserve me at my Pris Stratton
They meant that in terms of infiltration they’re becoming more humanoid at an exponential level
Gen 1 Synth lookin’ motherfucker.
The result is nice and cool. It is the level of modern journalism that is disturbing.
I worry about it. Every year I see more articles with sloppy mistakes that could be caught by any half-drunk editor phoning his job in. Sites springing up publishing 90% slop clearly so someone can keep writing. Not to mention the risks to journalism in a country where the president threatens any group whose speech he doesn’t like.
As (i think) Parenti said, now is the time of monsters. Cool robot though. That, genuinely, is crazy impressive.
I mean in this instance, if you look at the thumbnail of the author and then follow his link, he looks not a day over 16.
Im middle-aged, anyone under 30 looks like a baby to me 😅 babies can be journalists as long as they’ve got ethics and a good editor
Seriously. How many ways are there to make an humanoid robot out of stainless steel and aluminium?
Why does it have boobs though? Is that like extra space For batteries? Why not a bellybutton if we are Going for realism?
Because humans will put tits on anything. I watched a movie about sentient cockroaches, and the girl cockroaches all had tits.
to be fair to the addition of bazongas, those characters are more ‘humans in cockroach costumes’ than ‘sentient cockroaches.’
We all love some badongadongs tho
That’s their target market, sex dolls.
Because when humans see a robot with boobs, the comments turn into “hey this robot has tits”, and when they don’t, the comments turn into “humanity is going to be euthanised by the machines”.
I’d say “found the bot”, but even bots are familiar with why boobs appeal to human sensibilities.
“We’re at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift.”
What?
It was a Reddit comment in response to this video (Catbox alt).
Joe Wilkins clearly has a thing for robots.
Any mention of sexy robots deserves mention of sexy robots man
“We’re at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift.”
That’s a low bar
Pretty sure this grifter had a high bar when he said that.
I’m not saying this because she’s a billionaire, and this is really nothing against her, her looks, or her music, but I never found Taylor Swift to be, like, sexy. She’s quite beautiful and very talented but she’s just not who comes to mind when I think of slinky sexiness.
She’s too doll-like.
She’s a bit stiff IMHO.
I get you! She’s extraordinarily beautiful, and not just in a blonde hair/blue eyes kinda way. I have an admiration for any man or woman who works hard to maximize their appearance. My wife is like that. She won’t win any beauty pageants, but she is as attractive as it’s possible to be for her. It’s fucking hard work and Swift could do nothing to be any more attractive.
Turns out I like her music too! Kids listening to something, “That’s cool, who’s that?”
But sexy? Maybe she’s too perfect? I like a woman that’s “off” in some way. Maybe a big nose, wide-spaced eyes, pouchy mouth, gimme some imperfections that stand out.
That looks more like a Terminatrix
