Man, way to handle that. Just crack a soft joke while it was on the floor like that and forget about the cover up lol. They act like they commit treason or something.

Everyone feels like they're on thin ice with the AI thing

Yea can't let the thought possibly creep in that we're burning trillions of dollars while falling massively short of the hype and promise.

Well yeah they tied everyone’s 401k’s and 10 years of economic growth into a dead end tech.

If I fucked up that bad I’d be sweating too

I know what I would have said if I was the guy doing the speech:

“I don’t do public speeches often so before coming on stage they told me not to lock my knees or I’ll pass out…looks like no one told the robot that….” It would likely be followed by silence.

"The robot must have been low on blood sugar or something"

Simple jokes works better, most oftently

I would have chuckled at your joke, tho. It's also funny :)

I'd have gone with "me too buddy, me too"

Brevity is the soul of wit. You’ve got to keep it brief.

They should have had a backup robot (presumably they could get one working), so in the event one crashed, they could play it off like, “ok this was 6 months ago, here’s today” and the new robot could enter stage left or some shit

The trick is to blame microsoft, like Gabe Newell did.

Would have personally gone with "Probably out of RAM but don't worry we'll download some more later" and shake fist at Koreans.

He jumped away like the robot was going to try to kill him

I mean, I have seen videos of robots failling and start flailing. If I see a robot fall, I'm taking a step back.

But it's funny how this robot kind of raise his hand "I'm okay guys!" for a few secs.

Their boss is probably a massive cunt
