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.
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.
each improvement is going to look more like a Terminator.
Not necessary. Not wanted. Just a grift.
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
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.
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
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”.
That’s their target market, sex dolls.
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.
That looks more like a Terminatrix
“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.
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.
“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
What is the endgame here? People are supposed to buy these? To do what?
The took the fabric off a mechanical device to reveal it was a mechanical device. Disturbing?
I’d buy one if it would help fight off ice agents.
I read ice giants and thought I’d missed a headline today
Pretty sure ICE can afford to but thousands/millions of these cyborgs while normal people might have Alexa speakers.
To do what?
Chores and other stuff we don’t want to/can’t do. This has been the dream for decades now, so many old encyclopedias with “future tech” chapters show robots caring for people, sometimes as caregivers (for old people, or blind etc), sometimes as entertainers.
Robots will do everything slaves used to d without pay
And what will the “slaves” do? They gonna get their own robot and drive around in flying cars? jfc.
The lower-class will either go chronically online or go get educated and get a non-replaceable job
So they skipped the Dalek phase, huh?
Wheeled robots have been the norm for decades, we didn’t skip that.
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 …”
tbh, with those hips I might eventually join the robots
Hips don’t hallucinate.
I won’t die to anything wearing crocs!!
Press X to doubt
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?
