I for one welcome our new robot overlords.

If you were wondering how they were going to confiscate guns and reduce the Earth’s population to under one billion, this is your answer.

“Terrifying.”

My first thought was: Holy mackerel, that thing dances better than I ever could.

My second thought was the same as your post.

My first thought was

"Hey look! Martians!"

They'll be the ones on that planet--not us.

Mine also plays the cymbals.

Just have to wind it up.

> Terrifying.

Impressive? Yes.

Surprising? Somewhat; I hadn't expected such good balance and dexterity for a few more years.

Terrifying? Nah. It's a great demo, but it's all created, programmed, and tested by humans.

I won't be "terrified" until a robot/AI autonomously:

Not happening any time soon.

Frightening. Imagine being equipped with laser and weapons arms, controlling crowds.

Proving - in my eyes - once again that in terms of Mars and other off world places, live-human exploration is unwarranted and unnecessary at this time.

that is fascinating.

Billions had a show plot based on them wanting to invest in a robot. He was going to do it until the chick game in and blasted how they were hiding stuff about it’s movements.

They will create a version called “KAREN”, it will accost you for not wearing a mask. Then point a laser and say “Comply or DIE.

How soon can they replace the NFL and NBA? Mike Brown could get the old ones that fall over easily to be his offensive line for the Bengals. On the plus side, regularly replacing the quarterbot’s knee joint would be a lot faster than on a human.

Whoa ... the science fiction that scared the bejezus outta me as a kid is not fiction anymore.

That’s some scary azz sheet right there, man. No, thank you.

That freaky four-legged beast with the snake head is the stuff of nightmares and I did NOT need to see that dancing in my reality today.

I definitely need a bigger pillow gun and a LOT more Jesus from here on.

I watched that last evening, and was disappointed. Yes, it’s only a machine. That’s why the hype was dishonest. The robot dances about like a clumsy white guy....and I am a clumsy white guy; so I know whereof I speak. As I see it, the robot has no FEELINGS. And therefore will never dance like a Mikie Jackson, or a Sammy D., Jr. Or even like a Fred Astaire.....who was a TALENTED white guy.
