On the plus side, bringing a crash pad to a protest where there will be robocops might be a new strategy!

When something runs faster then you turn that is our true strength they won't be able to turn or cut corners as fast.

This is giving me a massive I, Robot vibe actually

Fuck this stupid shit

The thing is, it's not impressive when a machine can run fast. No one gives a fuck. It's impressive when a human can run fast. Because that is pushing a limit.

Get wrecked, clanker.

That’s definitely what should make me sad… or, more accurately, mad.

Bro threw in a Prime Time euro-step before he yeeted.

The Dolphins need a DB

Yes. Still funny, tho'.

This is funny but terrifying

trump should buy them up and they could be his new ICE officers. They definitely appear smarter than the jerks they hire.

Science really is amazing!

That repair is at least $100k. So...is it cost effective?

I've gotta admit, I've never seen Usain Bolt do THAT.

So cool.

That's exactly what I was thinking. A bipedal robot able to run a fast sprint is extremely impressive.

... but they forgot the breaks 😄

Humans manage it without bursting into flames.

Elon cars do same!

I don't care if robots can "run like humans" or "run faster than humans." We don't have any need for devices that run. Call me when they have one that can wash dishes and fold laundry. Let me know when the cost is less than $20/hour. Until then, they're just expensive oversized dolls.

Note the distinct lack of a crowd or anything beyond "performative" interest. This genuinely feels to be a psy-op campaign on par with their Ghost Cities to convince the rest of the world to reshuffle resources into these projects when it's nothing but window dressing.

Their only ‘useful' function is to carry a gun btw.

lol

It can run faster than a human.... But only once!

*puts on black turtleneck and steeples fingers* But what if they didn't smash into walls and destroy themselves? I am an innovator.

Spot on! "But it has two legs and resembles a human being!" is what this shit is all about. Doesn't matter if it's moving slower than machines we already have. Doesn't matter if it's far less stable. Doesn't matter if it's super uncanny. Doesn't matter it's imploding at the tiniest obstacle.

China: “Why send our sons and daughters to war?” Those machines will look like Arnold in just a few short years.

Stairs There are general robots that are supposed to do any task a human can in a world designed by humans for humans

Amazing..... Now powered by an internal AI brain, armour and a firearm...... What could go wrong "oligarch" private security?

Can run faster than humans? Check. Can stop running? No no, we’re still working on that.

It's like these tech bros have never seen a fucking movie. Or they have and they're pro-human extinction.

Humans watch sports to see humans perform and surpass normal human limitations. What would be the point of robot athletes?

Poor guy, he's like the Greek runner who reported on the battle of Marathon and immediately died. :D

Titanium bolos. Never thought there would be a day we would need those.

😂😂😂

Well it doesn't take much to make them fall over and fail.

Ouch!

1. This is objectively impressive. It is a technical accomplishment, that they could make a robot run this fast. 2. Whenever these videos show the humanoid robot failing and collapsing, there's always a comical shower of sparks. Makes me feel like these might be AI. Are there really so many sparks?

Humanoids?

He couldn't even stay in his lane, the fucking moron.

It’s an amazing engineering feat. Trump has banned best-in-class Chinese robotics. We’ll see how that goes since robotics is the future of applied AI.

We sure that shower of sparks wasn't added later?

Laugh now, they’ll fix them then turn them against you.

He broke his back :(

It's on purpose nothing works for more than a couple years, so they can sell you another one then.

The way it's spine just explodes into a shower of hot, angry sparks as it bends just a bit too far is frustratingly relatable..
