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.
Initially, it walked well but people complained it looked too alien and creepy.
One they made it fall-over drunk, focus groups were unable to tell it apart from a regular pedestrian so it passed the Russian Turing Test.
Anyone have a link where I can watch this without allowing the website and their 194 partners access to my info?
They just told the robot it got drafted.
I’d almost created a new account to upvote you again
The dude trying to cover it up with the piece of cloth at the end was chef’s kiss.
I like to call it the “Don’t embarrass comrade Putin curtain”
Yeah, the frantic amateurishness could not have been better choreographed
Almost makes it believable if they call it a haha funny comedy act as a cover up.
It’s too late! I saw everything.
Someone’s getting defenestrated over this
The best thing Putin has done is to bring the verb defenstrate back.
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He gets knocked down,
does not get up again
You’re never keep him up againHe sings a song that reminds him of the vodka,
he drinks a drink that reminds him of the vodka.
Hey, oldies!
Chumbawamba played a protest in DC that I went to (not sure which one, 2002?). They were pretty progressive and just made it big on the radio with that one song.
He plays an mp3 that reminds him of the good times.
He plays a YouTube that reminds him of the bad times.
A stagger that would have taken a human years of drinking to perfect. Very efficient. Only slightly less agile than its handlers.
This what happens when you use a vodka cell to power your AI.
Lol. The way both men trailed it makes it clear they were very much expecting this to happen
Yeah, a lot of people probably thought everything was fine and didn’t even seen the gaff thanks to the curtain guy’s quick thinking.
I do wonder if they should first work on an Ai driven automated curtain though before making the next AIDOL, you really can’t trust that every curtain guy will have such catlike Reflexes.
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.

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.
Security? This is Russia, they sent 1000+ people to die every day for no reason lol
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.
Yeah, using it for military purposes probably hasn’t crossed their minds. 🙄
they keep bullying him in your example video ;=;
There’s some company that has done some CGI videos making fun of the Boston Dynamics use of a hockey stick for separation, do videos that have humans pretending to be Boston Dynamics people abusing a CGI robot.

Vodkabot.
So telling how it kept walking after it was lying face down. No proprioception, no mems feedback, of course, you could tell that from the shuffle.
At best it seems like AI driving a remote control car :/
It walks like one of those robots for children. Just shuffling around awkwardly. At least add a accelerometer or something. And when it falls it shuts off or at least go WHAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa.
If it screamed and cursed as it fell down, I would probably give it a pass.
Matushka, can we have robots at home?
No, we already have robots at home.
Robots at home:
Are we at the stage where nation states show they TOO have an army of robots in a new arms race?
I find this strangely comforting if this is the future of warfare. Basically amounts to using
To settle disputes.
Yeah but like, if humans aren’t dying there’s no stakes. Eventually one robot army must chew through the other to get to the human soldiers or civilians. Then you just eventually just have a robot army massacring a populous with no internal morality.
It’ll be like the Cold War, essentially an economic war.
But it will only last weeks, not decades.
That depends on how strong each economy is. If both sides have sufficient ability to replace the bots, it could go on for some time.
That could have gotten embarrassing if they hadn’t had those two guys ready to smoothly cover the stage with a curtain. Close call!
