ARE THEY TRYING TO KILL US ALL????
Whoever green lit this project should probably be thrown into federal prison for crimes against humanity. I mean seriously who thought this was a good idea? And why on fucking earth do they have this “robot” in that position looking like that? What’s their goal?
Well, if there goal was to sufficiently scare the actual shit out of me and everyone else on this planet, I would say they have more than succeeded. In fact, that video is a masterclass on how to make a horror movie.
Do we really need to make robots actually look and act like this? Is it really necessary? There is no way that you’re telling me that the model frame for a robot is an exact replica of a human. Hasn’t Clone seen some of the people out there? I get winded just walking up 2 flights of stairs. Why not make something better than a human? I get it, robots should still keep the general shape and movements of a human so they can do normal human things and eventually replace everyone’s jobs, but can’t we make them at least a little bit different from people.
There is no way this all ends up well for us. We’re screwed. I have to stop writing about this and go watch some dog videos on TikTok to reset.
