      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.’

      I’d say “found the bot”, but even bots are familiar with why boobs appeal to human sensibilities.

    What clickbait. Apparently any vaguely capable humanoid robot is a “straight-up Terminator”?

    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?

      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.

    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
