    Really cool, but I would never let one of these into my home. We’ve all seen “I, Robot”, right? The only way I would even consider having one is if it ran on libre software.

      These are not for home use, these are for strapping munitions on to kill people without soldiers with a conscience.

      Boston Dynamics was not ever set up to make dancing videos.

      Exactly and that’s why open source community-run stuff needs to be explained to people so more people switch over. https://alternativeto.net/ and https://european-alternatives.org/ will help a ton for people to find more

      I’ve heard HuggingFace has made a couple open source robots not sure if they are libre fully but they seem interesting. A couple other projects are on YouTube too

      The more advanced ones are still not being done as open source though
