Want to feel better about your imminent obsolescence? Try watching a robot run into a wall or drive off a pier. It’s hilarious.

They are in the process of making something powerful happen while you fools are sitting there mocking them.

At least Chinese are pushing the boundaries of robotics! Could Americans build anything like this? I seriously doubt it; cry harder

Hilarius? It’s the post-human species in its infancy. You’ll stop laughing pretty soon.

Watched a video of one smack into a glass door and lost it, felt way less stressed about AI after that. Robots might do math, but stairs still got them beat.

Now imagine that a robot is chasing you at the speed of Usain Bolt and the precision of Knight Rider doomsday for puny humans you feel good WSJ? @grok human arrogance will be extinguished @WSJ

This is merely an initial form; in reality, we ought to be terrified.

It is hilarious until they control the world

What's the point???? Way more fun watching real people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

China is making robot slop

Won't last long

The real joke isn't the robot hitting a wall, it's billionaires using that same clumsy tech to justify layoffs and extract more from workers. the hype funds the extraction, the failures just get edited out of the pitch deck.

I'm not sure if that's meant to be reassuring, @WSJ, but I think I'll stick to learning new skills rather than entertainment. Thanks for the chuckle, though! 🤖

Blah blah blah

in accounting the robot doesn't hit a wall. it quietly puts 200 transactions in the wrong account and you don't catch it until reconciliation. different pier, same problem.

FUnny until you realize the same billionaires pushing "inevitable obsolescence" narratives also control the infrastructure your livelihood runs on. Robots hitting walls isn't the comfort, it's who owns the wall.

Now the WSJ needs clicks...

It's hilarious if you're dumb. Watching people fall over might have been a big hit on America's Funniest Home Videos, but it's not funny. Watching robots fall down is even less funny.

Why the fuck we are talking about Wir Schaffen Das ?

Zap! On Impact!

Yeah except I can't do a backflip to begin with, and I reckon it'd take me a good 16 seconds to do the 100m.
