But Stieler also noted: “Stage performance does not equate to industrial robustness, yet.” He said what the robots did was the result of being trained for a routine “hundreds or thousands of times – you could not just tell them to change direction or do something completely different”.

every media outlet owner should be absolutely terrified by the dancing communist robots. like existential, cosmic horror. they are here to usher in an age of destruction.
“i own no profit-driven media platform, but i must scream for the rentier class.”
ah yes, industry, that sector where doing the same thing with precision is shunned in favour of doing something completely different every time, i am very smart
Chinese robots gonna beat me the fuck up. Hell yeah
No more worried than we should be about the dog robots that are for rescue operations and definitely won’t be packed full of explosives by the pigs but also you get charged with assaulting an officer if you disable one.
We’re doomed when they make a robot Zhang He
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
“How worried should we be?” is the new “But at what cost?”
you could not just tell them to change direction or do something completely different.
Yep, only robots that are like that, sorry, only Chinese robots are like that, as we all know, no human has ever needed to practice and rehearse something before doing it.
I’m surprised they didn’t try to push a “child cruelty” claim on that performance, trying to say it was dangerous for the kids to dance with the robots or something. Probably because the actual performance was adorable, and it’s hard to blindly hate China that way, seeing cute kids play with robots looks cool as fuck, those kids are living the dream of like, every kid ever.
Don’t worry John Henry is putting together a crew to face these robots in a dance battle.
the display should be viewed through a lens of state propaganda
Lmao. Do they say this about any expos in the West?
no no no, that’s advertising and it’s different
I think I get it now. Capitalism is when advertising and thus, not political. Communism is when state propaganda and is thus political. That makes sense
yep, only the government can be political, nothing else.
Their propaganda-bots
Our popcorn-dropping bots
No no no no no NO NO NO
Good thing humans don’t have to do rehearsals before a performance, or be trained to do their job. If we did, we’d really be in trouble.
On the other side: what other option is there than that this is rehearsed and planned ? Is there anyone in the world that thinks that the robots spontaneously did this?
Is there anyone in the world that thinks that the robots spontaneously did this?
Yes! And that’s why it’s so scary! You never know when they’re going to bust out some killer moves and then you’ll get served!
This headline is worthy of tagline, I’ve been laughing for a minute now lmfaooo how worried should we be about those scary Asian checks notes dancing robots hahahhahahahahahaha
“IT’S FINE IT’S ALL COMPLETELY FINE DON’T PANIC NOBODY PANIC, THE ORIENTALS CAN’T DO THIS, IF WE CAN’T DO THIS THEY CAN’T DO THIS”USA robots can do this, you just need to find a kung fu master to wear the suit.
Can’t wait for the west to be poor compared to China.
(Shit, I am living in the west. Why mom, why? )
Culturally, the wait is over
Can’t wait to see in 15 years the Chinese media portraying the decrepit west shooting the people trying to escape its borders.
Shit, haven’t even thought about that. On the other hand I hope for a system change faster (naive I know). Probably gonna end up in jail anyways once I refuse to participate in any coming wars.
Will we send each other love letters from jail? :blush:
Hell yeah <3
