This is amazing, bizarre, and quite creepy/scary all at the same time:
China's humanoid robots perform incredible martial arts stunts for Chinese New Year
Considered putting it in the "can I ask you to check out minuteboard.com........" thread. Is there gonna be an inflection point for this stuff? Have we already passed such? I guess no way to tell until it's too late??? And what would the result of such a theorized "inflection point" be? Maybe when "they take over", global warming will slow down or stop?
Seems to me that "they" require a lot of electricity to function. Unless they really love nuclear energy or come equipped with solar panels, global warming will continue to be a problem even when "they" take over. I doubt they'll care.
They'll be coming for all of us soon enough......

If the robot actually caught the boars, the entertainment value would be limitless. Of course, they'd need a new robot.
But instead watch this with 55' TV at ~80 dB...
I synched the video to like 2 tenths seconds with the TV...supercool...
But there is hope. If we could install little "speed bumps" everywhere........ Love the stretcher 😅.

Limitations, of course:

This is (again) impressive. I think the high jump moreso even than the sprinters:

He may dance again, for the enjoyment of all.
