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.

    He drinks a vodka drink
    He drinks a vodka drink

    You’re never keep him up again

      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.

    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.

    Guy in the front row: “hey, walk forward the same number of steps as there are R’s in ‘resurrection’.”

    That could have gotten embarrassing if they hadn’t had those two guys ready to smoothly cover the stage with a curtain. Close call!

    Total terminator thing, off to the battlefield with it. Put it in a golf cart, maybe it can leave the foot on the gas 🤣

    You don’t crush the robot revolution, in Russia the robot revolution crushes you, apparently by falling on you.
