You’ll note that she stays pretty far away from the robot. This is a safety measure, because if the robot starts to fall, it may start flailing its arms around to regain its balance.

Robotics pioneer Rod Brooks has a number of things to say about humanoid robots:

idk who needs to hear this but [⁠incoherent screeching⁠]

Ok y’all, #Trump is rolling his #paramilitary out to travel infrastructure, putting #ICE on the ground of some airports, with threats to roll it out to all. But, Dear Leader told his thugs to take off their masks at the #airport. You know what this means? I want every single person who has to use an airport to take pictures and add them to the ICE agent database.

Why should you do that? Because hack unto them as they hack unto us. https://sahanjournal.com/immigration/ice-surveillance-technology-facial-recognition-phones-minnesota/

Secondly: If you are not American, DO NOT TRAVEL HERE. It is not safe for you. It isn’t safe for us, but it’s really not safe for you. Boycott us like we are contagious.

ICE isn’t just tracking your phone. The surveillance technology goes further than that.

Federal immigration agencies are using a vast surveillance network in Minnesota – from facial recognition technology to ‘stingrays’ that collect data by impersonating cell phone towers.

We know constant plugs are annoying, but please try to take a different perspective here:

Although millions of people read our comics every week, it's still difficult for creators to make a living. We don't get any money directly from Instagram or any other platform we post on.

If we wouldn’t have a Patreon page, we’d have to get real jobs and couldn't make comics at all.

So when you see plugs from us or any other artist, please be kind and remember we're just trying to keep creating. Thank you for understanding!

It's Blaze the Cat!
Many of you have enjoyed his photos for the past few years.
Last week swallowed a foreign object and we almost lost him. But we didn't.
The vet bills were substantial. I've made a GoFundMe to help.
Please only donate if you have the capacity.
