I love this so much. I’d love to find one with sound. In the meantime I’m just watching this over and over humming the Rocky theme.
Lol. The way both men trailed it makes it clear they were very much expecting this to happen

Initially, it walked well but people complained it looked too alien and creepy.
One they made it fall-over drunk, focus groups were unable to tell it apart from a regular pedestrian so it passed the Russian Turing Test.

Aidol? Really?

They were going for “Aidol Fit-lair” but it was too obvious

Almost makes it believable if they call it a haha funny comedy act as a cover up.

Chumbawamba played a protest in DC that I went to (not sure which one, 2002?). They were pretty progressive and just made it big on the radio with that one song.

So telling how it kept walking after it was lying face down. No proprioception, no mems feedback, of course, you could tell that from the shuffle.
At best it seems like AI driving a remote control car :/

Looked like it had quite a few drinks before going on stage 😆

Are we at the stage where nation states show they TOO have an army of robots in a new arms race?
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
I find this strangely comforting if this is the future of warfare. Basically amounts to using

treadful@lemmy.zip 6 hours ago
Yeah but like, if humans aren’t dying there’s no stakes. Eventually one robot army must chew through the other to get to the human soldiers or civilians. Then you just eventually just have a robot army massacring a populous with no internal morality.

A stagger that would have taken a human years of drinking to perfect. Very efficient. Only slightly less agile than its handlers.

What the hell is this website? Every time I press play it just takes me to a different video.
tal@lemmy.today 15 hours ago
Frankly, if the thing is that untested, I’m not sure that I’d want to have the developers or the audience that close to it without shielding. And it should have a remote E-stop switch (though maybe it did here, and that’s why it froze up).
You know those Boston Dynamics videos? Unless the stuff is pretty mature, they’ve got those protective walls or are interacting with the robots with hockey sticks.

Security? This is Russia, they sent 1000+ people to die every day for no reason lol
tal@lemmy.today 14 hours ago
I mean, yeah, but that’s wartime policy. Like, most countries are willing to take more risks and accept more costs if they consider is necessary to fight a war.
But as far as I know, doing this demo successfully isn’t something that Russia needs for any kind of war purposes.

There’s some company that has done some CGI videos making fun of the Boston Dynamics use of a hockey stick for separation, do videos that have humans pretending to be abusing a CGI robot.

If they hadn’t had those two guys ready to smoothly cover the stage with a curtain, that could have been embarrassing. Close call!
