I love this so much. I’d love to find one with sound. In the meantime I’m just watching this over and over humming the Rocky theme.

    Frankly, if the thing is that untested, I’m not sure that I’d want to have the developers or the audience that close to it without shielding. And it should have a remote E-stop switch (though maybe it did here, and that’s why it froze up).

    You know those Boston Dynamics videos? Unless the stuff is pretty mature, they’ve got those protective walls or are interacting with the robots with hockey sticks.

    Ex:

    EDIT: Actually, looking at the Russian video again, I think that the AIdol people don’t have a remote E-stop button and were instead fumbling around with one built onto its back there, since that’s when it stopped moving.

        I mean, yeah, but that’s wartime policy. Like, most countries are willing to take more risks and accept more costs if they consider is necessary to fight a war.

        But as far as I know, doing this demo successfully isn’t something that Russia needs for any kind of war purposes.

          It is very much needed for their war propaganda. They need to show the citizens and the world, that despite all the sanctions they are still able to achieve and match technological advancements of the west. The war fatigue is serious issue in Russia. But obviously they failed miserably and I love that the sanctions are actually putting them behind.
