there's a lot of bullshit and disappointment about 2025 being a boring version of the future but this video is righting a lot of wrongs for me
@beanclock it so meant to do that
@beanclock @BlippyTheWonderSlug If you want a picture of the future, imagine a robot kicking a human in the ballsโ€”forever.
@rebelrebel62 @BlippyTheWonderSlug no this is where i'm optimistic because the video specifically shows the operator getting nutted, not the bystanders
@beanclock can this robot kick Tech Bros in the bollocks? Seems like a viable Real World application for this technology

@beanclock

Hehehe ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@beanclock this the greatest video of all time
@beanclock I bet this guy doesn't get hazard pay either
@beanclock Happy KI - generated video
@beanclock The first man ever to kick himself in the balls.
@beanclock I think it's called A.I.-kido

@beanclock I would for me, too, if it was real - but that's a Unitree G1 & I met one at a tech convention a few months ago & I absolutely do NOT believe it can move like that. Fucking thing can barely walk.

Yes, I've seen their other demo videos & I'm certain they're faked. Check out this one, for example; pretty sure it defies physics & also, hard to believe that it does this much falling & being kicked etc. without a single scratch or scuff anywhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5sX7L3sfT0

Unitree G1 Robot Shocks Everyone With Crazy New Skills

@jwcph @beanclock Yeah the lighting & surface specularty in that demo is all weird, I'd be very surprised if the bot wasn't all done in Blender or something similar.
@jwcph @beanclock particularly how it gets up with like zero momentum at all. just *zwoop* in a few frames to an instant stop
@beanclock Karma is a bitch ๐Ÿ˜€
@beanclock Thank you. A robot giving a tech guy a nut shot has helped.
@beanclock ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ A metaphor for what AI is doing to all of us.
@beanclock this is what every genai apology video should be
@beanclock The best part was the bot continuing to mimic as he went down. Nut shot, followed by mockery. It's a god damn masterpiece.
@beanclock A good picture of tech under capitalism
@beanclock We're one step closer to making Real Steel real!

@FawkesGil @beanclock

Maybe the people behind BattleBots would make good use of that concept.

@beanclock I identify with the robot... My coding as an autistic person is the same ๐Ÿ˜
