case in point. media actually bought that this was really an autonomous robot pouring and serving drinks and fucking waving. fucking rubes, unbelievable
I do have this horrible feeling there's an actual market for his bluetooth mechanical turk- a servant who you never have to think about being human? Yeah the worst people would still want that.
news media has mostly shifted from information to reaction videos. sometimes it's entertaining to watch someone's face light up as they give in to astonishment. safer to ignore any mouth sounds they happen to make in the process.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"
It’s unreal - it’s mechanical Turk / medicine show - to the point that I feel it damages everything else around it. The walking bots were canned motion. All BS. Saw some guy at work arguing the case that the Cybertruck is a success on time and to budget… 🙄😳
Delighted by this seeing as my first exposure to the robot was some bluecheck crypto guy complaining about tipping barmen
you mean a billionaire would do that? just lie for profit?
ALT: a cartoon character is screaming and saying `` i 'm shocked . ''
Yeah - I saw some clips from the event and the very first thing I thought to myself was “This is clearly staged.” Like, just flat out repeating bullshit with no journalist inquisitiveness at all. No asking questions, no wanting to see the details. Just rick*-riding. *autocorrect, but it’s funny
I saw the video of it “talking” and it’s actually pretty much impossible not to know that was a person. The press was just also lying
That was pretty obvious
