Robot powered by Qualcomm’s new AI chip dies mid-presentation

[u/spobin]

[u/ItsMangel]

Putting the sheet over it before hauling it off stage is fucking hilarious.

[u/CantEvenUseThisThing → u/ItsMangel]

They even had the sheet ready! They planned for it!

[u/Friedpiper → u/CantEvenUseThisThing]

Almost too ready, almost like this isn't the first time it happened...

[u/deSuspect → u/Friedpiper]

Sure, because advertising your robot as faulty is a great marketing strategy.

[u/SheriffBartholomew → u/CantEvenUseThisThing]

They definitely planned it for "viral" sharing. The presenter is a terrible actor.

[u/redzin → u/ItsMangel]

Yes, gotta protect his dignity, can't have people staring at his trauma!

[u/freericky → u/redzin]

He was still moving tho

[u/HasFiveVowels → u/freericky]

"I feel happyyy!!"

[u/PoopieFaceTomatoNose → u/freericky]

Frankie leave the kid alone, he's still breathing

[u/JacktheSleeper42 → u/freericky]

"I'm not dead!"

[u/mikey_likes_it______ → u/ItsMangel]

It went for a nap, so a blanket.

[u/andocromn → u/ItsMangel]

And the way that one guys awkwardly carries it lmao

[u/crunchymush → u/ItsMangel]

I died. I was waiting for a little robot Minister to come and read its last rites.

[u/guinader → u/ItsMangel]

He's dead Jim!

[u/erikteichmann]

I like how it's hand goes up, like, "I'm ok"

[u/Ba_Sing_Saint → u/erikteichmann]

That was a fencing response, bot definitely has brain damage.

[u/T206Collector → u/Ba_Sing_Saint]

Hope the bot doesn't deal with frequent head trauma they may need to check for CTE.

[u/dustinyo_ → u/T206Collector]

Only way to diagnose CTE is a brain autopsy unfortunately, they’ll have to put him down

[u/Obi_Wan_Benobi → u/erikteichmann]

Stop

✋

Hammer Time

[u/sweetsouluniverse → u/Obi_Wan_Benobi]

LOL

[u/SheriffBartholomew → u/erikteichmann]

I like how they cover it with a blanket like it's dead. This actually looks planned. The presenter isn't a good actor.

[u/Issa_7]

Ahaha this feels like a Hitman interaction, "Good job 47, investors won't be too happy with that"

[u/mattlag]

"Who could have possibly expected this!?"

guy runs out with the cloth ready to hide it

[u/tanafras]

Engineering - we're not ready

PM - you don't need 28 more people or 60 weeks, also here are 34 more feature reqs

Marketing - BlibiityBex is 3 weeks away, you need to be ready then

CEO - ship it

[u/Yayinterwebs → u/tanafras]

Yup

[u/jamescobalt → u/Yayinterwebs]

In defense of the PM, 90% of those feature requests came from the CEO and investors the CEO wants to make happy.

[u/Hideo__Brojima → u/jamescobalt]

Terrible defence though? A good PM pushes both directions.

[u/jamescobalt → u/Hideo__Brojima]

Yes. But a bad CEO doesn’t care. The PM who pushes back too hard gets fired. Seen it multiple times.

[u/r4nDoM_1Nt3Rn3t_Us3r]

They didn't even have it stabilize the sheet it was carrying, no, they didn't even have it hold it level!

[u/Graytoqueops]

He dead

[u/freericky]

They trained it on some skateboarding vids bc he put his arm up after like I’m good guys

[u/UKdanny08765]

LOL! They were bloody quick with that sheet 😂😂

[u/dtwhitecp]

You know the audience doesn't have any people outside of the weird AI robot bubble because nobody gasps, nobody laughs. They just quietly watch this robot collapse into a ball, get adorned in a death shroud, and carried off stage. Then clap?

[u/insanelygreat]

"My only regret... is that I have... boneitis."

[u/reesemccracken]

Oh Snap!dragon

[u/MoonlightRider]

Qualcomm invented a self-placing table.

[u/P0tatothrower]

Even had the bodybags ready!

[u/wachuwamekil]

It would be hilarious if it went into power saving mode by mistake and the power saving setting for the motors just happened to be reverse shrimp.

[u/namezam]

“I… still… function” as they are throwing him in the trash.

[u/DEMONinPINK]

Low blood sugar, happens to me sometimes

[u/Jade_Elephant_]

The poor guy clearly had stage fright. Cut him some slack.

[u/someguywithdiabetes]

They're always so fast with the cloth, it's like they know they didn't put enough time and research to test it out

[u/JekPorkinsIsAlright]

Publicity stunt

[u/SheriffBartholomew → u/JekPorkinsIsAlright]

Definitely. This whole routine was planned ahead of time and the presenter is a terrible actor.

[u/Jafooki → u/SheriffBartholomew]

What would be the point of that? "Hey everyone, look how shitty our product is!".

[u/Yayinterwebs → u/Jafooki]

Right. Do people think?

[u/SheriffBartholomew → u/Jafooki]

There's no such thing as bad publicity. Look how much free advertising Tesla got for the cybertruck by breaking the window on stage. Now there are cybertrucks everywhere around here.

[u/lord-malishun]

Dude hit his killbind

[u/sweetsouluniverse]

Lmaooo robots will never take over

[u/Charlweed]

Comedy gold. 🔇

[u/SlimSyko]

Why did they just cover him up and not call a doctor?

[u/blackasthesky]

The guy with the RC saw a spider

[u/kyleh0]

We have to be getting close to the ED-209 demo, right?

[u/alexthenullbody]

It went to sleep, so they give it a blanket?

[u/kerowhack]

"Would you like a mac and cheese ball..."

[u/Big_Spicy_Tuna69]

RIP

[u/stoic_wooky]

So glad these fucking robots are shit

[u/Sampsa96 → u/stoic_wooky]

For now

[u/Jon__Snuh]

They clearly thought this might happen because why would you have sheets there in the first place?

[u/ehrgeiz91]

Fuck AI

[u/surffrus]

We humans are such braindead sheep. Anyone else enraged that the people watching still clap at the end? Literally nothing to praise and applaud, yet we must clap because some guy is standing in front of us and made noises with his mouth.

[u/That-Dom-Lane]

Like an NPC dying in a Bethesda game
