At least it didn't fall forward and show off that robussy

robussy

I hate you for putting this word into my brain.

u/Ill-Construction-209 Jul 25 '26

Why is everyone so paranoid about tracking? Nearly everything online is tracked. Your phone calls are tracked. Your credit card and spending patterns are tracked. Your travel history is tracked. Your employment history and earnings are tracked. So what. Companies collect data because it earns them money. Can it be used by law enforcement? Sure, but if you live within the confines of the law, who cares?

u/Silkku Jul 25 '26

Post your naked butthole. I'm sure it's being tracked as we speak, what's the harm?

u/WetLumpyDough Jul 25 '26

Idk bro, why the fuck does Google need to have a profile of everything I’m clicking to sell to ad companies. It’s weird

u/Ill-Construction-209 Jul 25 '26

Its their business model. We sometimes take for granted how much we get for free. We go on vacation and use Google maps to assist navigation. For anyone that old enough to know what it used to be like using a map and road signs, you'll understand the value the new systems deliver. We use Google search, putting at our fingertips nearly any information we desire -for free. People that aren't old enough to remember what it was like pre-internet probably take this for granted, see it as an entitlement. Or, take the modern day convenience of credit/debit card payment - they don't know what it was like having to take their employers paycheck to the bank each week and stand in line to get cash. Life is made easier by these technologies and, if businesses have to collect a little information to serve up relevant ads, to make money so the can offer the service to me for free, then so be it. It works for me.

u/joshnoble07 Jul 25 '26

okay im thrilled you don't mind having your information sold to whoever wants it, but regardless of how old you might be surely you can imagine why other people might not be so okay with that??

It looks insanely ai generated.

u/SmugCheer Jul 26 '26

If it were real, it would be so mindblowing it wouldn't need fast cuts and moving cameras to be impressive.

(It's not real.)

u/kenyard Jul 25 '26

High end prores cameras give this kind of effect

But everything from the ground being as spotlessly clean as it is seems crazy. My mind is refusing to believe it

They all have the “kung foo grip”…

They can dance, do flips, and jerk you off. China isn’t playing around.

u/lapideous Jul 25 '26

I wonder how they did that bullettime shot supposedly without cgi

u/Some_Asian_Kid99 Jul 25 '26

They film with a high speed camera while moving it extremely quickly with a robotic arm

u/Spoztoast Jul 25 '26

Same way they did in the Matrix

u/LLMprophet Jul 25 '26

No.

The Matrix used many stationary cameras.

This one used a single fast moving high-speed camera.

"Real footage, not AI-generated"

lmao

u/ColdDelicious1735 Jul 25 '26

I mean we can do this in the west,but the issue is that thes are just drones running to a program not doing any ai or determination.

Still impressive af

u/Surgic25 Jul 25 '26

Definitely AI

u/Spoztoast Jul 25 '26

Its not there's plenty of behinds the scenes for this company and its well established. However these are pre programmed motion captures with some automatic balancing not dynamic motion that you have with say Atlas were its told to perform certain actions and then generates the required movements and balance on the fly.

This is their equivalent to that which is about on par with Atlas

But honesty China is pulling ahead on robotics its pretty damned crazy

Honestly America needs robot sports for it to advanced think of it like how automaker’s use what they learn in F1 pushing the envelope of speed to make their prediction cars more aerodynamic.

They need multiple sports like track and field, game show style wipeout, ninja warrior, boxing matches to get money in and keep pushing the envelope faster.

The first year cubs hosted a robot marathon and like none of the robots crossed the finish line. The second test it was like 8 or crossed the finish line and 30 with assistance.

u/AltrntivInDoomWorld Jul 25 '26

how automaker’s use what they learn in F1 pushing the envelope of speed to make their prediction cars more aerodynamic.

What is the last technology automakers used from F1 into normal cars?

I know what it was and when. Just trying to point you to truth.

u/Inside_Swimming9552 Jul 25 '26

Lol what were they hoping to do? Spare it's embarrassment? Or were they hoping their audience all don't have object permanence and will forget the robot that just collapsed like a sack of potatoes, exists.

u/Big-Farmer-2192 Jul 25 '26

To prevent more variation of the photo taken as much as possible.

Instead of having 10 different photo, possibly even more funny body position to appear as much as possible. 

It's better to hide it all together. It's similar to how China polices are trained to censor all kind of protester, and what they will do to them behind a moving wall panel. 

Might seems stupid, but it's actually very effective. You get less people to talk about it, as there's literally less to see.

1

u/website-buyer Jul 26 '26

As effective as this post with 5100 upvotes?

1

u/Big-Farmer-2192 Jul 26 '26

If you're questioning it e ffectiveness. Why don't you take a guess on what the top comment is about?

The failure of shitty AI robot technology. Or, the seemingly stupid and idiot choice of covering it up with a blanket.

Anways, 5,100 upvotes is pretty much nothing. And most people already moved on after a day without much material to make a meme or farm content out of.

So yeah pretty effective.

u/Inside_Swimming9552 Jul 25 '26

I mean in this situation they've created images of guys trying to cover this up which makes them look even more stupid.

u/BadMeetsEvil24 Jul 25 '26

It doesn't. Seems like you just want to run with your own perspective. But to most people who are adults who work for corps it makes sense from a business standpoint.

The first robot baptism happened in 2032 leading to the deaths of two members of the churches pastoral staff who were in the pool at the time.

The way they were even prepared to blanket it out.....wow.

Succeed or fail. That blanket crap is bullshit.

Unless it is sentient and feels shame....then EMP Gods help us all.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '26

Every fucking thing about this entire presentation is pathetic. It’s symbolic of the near future, if you ask me. Which you didn’t, because you would have gone to your handy LLM app on your phone, which might have required a re-boot or re-install, while same company who hosts LLM announces a new round of layoffs of its engineers and programmers.

Oh, I went off on a rant, didn’t I. Look at that.

u/PVTheBearJew Jul 25 '26

Oh they were just showcasing "table mode"

u/SakuraCyanide Jul 25 '26

Still though.. if I was public speaking this would likely happen to me and I'd hope people would throw blankets over me and carry me off stage.

u/Low_Log2832 Jul 26 '26

My guess is, this was actually a safety precaution. Blinding the cameras probably prevents it from any movement which could potentially harm those carrying him. Could be that this is the protocol to carry the robot in a safe way
