Run Robot Run

Just lovely.



I watched that Robot marathon a few days ago, and most of them either ran out of steam, or drunkenly hit the deck - but unlike the humans in the Boston marathon; the Boston Dynamics Bozos failed to help each other back onto their feet, and across the finish line: so that's a metaphorical win for humanity.

Not all of them are winners

Very true.

But- you do mean those robotic actors that are shown 'failing' in countless videos found all over the internet, right?

You couldn't possibly mean the human beings who can't sense when they are watching spurious content generated by those same 'robots' (and then proceed to repost that same video on an additional social media platform where even more unique users will watch it, engage with each other in text exchanges about it, and thus positively reinforce the same 'robot' to keep feeding that same type of content to every end user- to which all those users will reinforce by then complaining about it on social media because 'this robot is dumb')?

Right? (right?)

Obviously- I am only asking for a friend



TLDR: RTFM

Dracula cannot break into your house and suck your blood. He needs to be invited inside.

Stop inviting him inside and handing him a hand-drawn map.

Just lovely.

Next year it will be leaping tall buildings at a single bound. I wish I was joking, but only because I've always wondered if we would ever get to the practical uses for mechanical copies of us stage; and here we already are.
And then there is always wanting to be the guy who ran the robot horde when I was a kid.
