I like how they had the stretcher immediately ready for him.
This looks AI generated the way the arms explode
It isn’t AI, main way to know is the one guys green gloves stay on even when they are out of sight long periods of time. None of the current models can handle that.
These robots just have quite powerful motors that control arms/legs, so when it goes wrong, it can easily destroy itself with spectacular fashion.
People who aren’t mechanics or engineers in a robotics or manufacturing field don’t realize just how powerful and fast a servo motor actually is. Especially without a speed-reducing gearbox. Even a modestly small vpl servo can do vast amounts of damage if installed incorrectly or if it comes loose from a mount or coupling.
Yeah, there are reasons why robot arms in factories are in cages, because they will pretty much just kill you if you get in the way of the arms.
That’s what made the new Ok Go video so crazy. Go watch it if you haven’t. Then watch the behind the scenes.
Can’t find the video you mentioned. Can you provide a link please?
Somewhere there’s an interview with the Jack Conte (Patreon guy) that’s great too.
Oh, I know that one. It just didn’t strike me as new.
Thanks for the links. Amazing video :3
Bump for other asker!
I put links in a reply to them above, thanks for alerting me.
This one’s real, Kotaku did an article on it.
Maybe not AI, but that arm lands with what looks amazingly like a standard puff of CGI dust.
I replayed it a few times, and it feels that way:
-
At the beginning, dude in the white vest on the left looks like he’s resting an arm on the fence in the background.
-
During the video at the top right, a clipboard is seen, then a megaphone, then the camera pans and we see a megaphone with a rolled up paper. It feels like incontinuity.
-
When the stretcher came out, it looked like 2 dudes came out holding separate pieces that conjoined later (they are connected though)
-
Several people start appearing at the end of the video that we didn’t see in the video prior
-
The dude in the reflective vest at the beginning isnt seen later
A lot of incontinuity that gives us false positives.
I rewatched the video several times and I don’t see your points
To be clear im not saying its AI, just that I can understand why someone might draw that conclusion

That’s better than watching kids fall off of bikes
I could watch kids falling off bikes all day.
If you look closely you can spot the exact moment where the robot gained sentience and chose to self destruct rather than live as a dancing monkey. It really is amazing how fast tech advances these days
on the phone
Sir we know for a fact it achieved sentience. Yes sir we’re positive. Because it killed itself immediately. Yes sir. Just “Oh no” and then killed itself. Yes sir immediately.
Why didn’t other robots come to sweep it up?
Then who would sweep up those robots after they fall?
QWOP
Basically the entire humanoid robotics industry in a nutshell rn. I would know, I’m in it lol
The CGI videos from Boston Dynamics are way overhyped. Half the shit at the superhyped national lab I’m at is broken because someone measured once and cut twice on the wires and the robot tried to bend an elbow lmao
Also a robotics nerd; very curious what you are referring to when you say BD’s CGI videos - as far as I am aware, their content is at very worst robots running prescripted routines, not actual CGI.
The most terrifying thing about these robots is their insane power density. If you were walking around and saw that you wouldn’t feel at risk. It has the strength to tear its metal and plastic body to dust. We just saw it. No human could do that, yet these robots deceive us with their human like appearance.
The slightest twitch, error, our bug and they turn into human meat blenders killing anyone around them. Even worse is intentional harm by the owner… And the manufacturer will often have an override access letting them theoretically possess a robot army at will with only their good virtue stopping them. Elon Musk is about to have this…
The future is going to be a weird and dangerous place!
Honestly, they’re just really fragile. It’s like comparing your microwave to a nuclear device. Like sure, maybe it could kill a human if you intentionally tried to cause it to combust and stood really, really closely to it lol
They may be fragile but they are also extremely strong compared to a person. Here is a Tesla bot falling and hitting a closed water bottle hard enough to send water spraying. No human would do that as an international action.

Maybe they’re not stronger in the absolute, but you never find a human just giving 100% power by accident, we also sense unintended contact, or unexpected material yield and adjust our force. And maybe that’s the problem here, robots constantly glitch and just give 100% force to whatever is around them.

MAGA robot:
Chinese robots:
We’re screwed.
The MAGA one looks very uncanny and unsettling.
The robot next to her is kinda cool, tho.
Well, Boston Dynamics has some pretty incredible robot dogs, but they’re probably going to use them on us if we ever demand a living wage or Medicare for All, so we’re still screwed.
I have a few ESP32s, an Internet connection, and there’s plenty of opinionated Russians and Iranians on the other side who want to burn this shit down.
Let’s play a game.
Maga bots? All they’ll want to do with them is give them guns and send them to war or shoot protesters.
Oh, yeah, SlaughterBots are definitely in our future.
Watching it thrash on the ground made me slightly twitch
To be fair, this may be about as well as a run would go for me if I tried.
It has to be AI. This is the current state.
Not all robots are equal, that’s why there’s like a dozen companies trying to make them…
Highly doubt it. The video looks too gritty to be AI. There’s a lot of janky zooms, camera movements etc, if this was AI, it would be incredibly impressive, and probably kinda scary aswell.
The video I linked I shows the Intree robot running at 10 m/s…that’s a sub 3 minute mile. Anything so janky that there is a stretcher sitting by the starting line is either staged or generated. No company that is serious about the field is going to show themselves as being slthat far behind their competitors.
Who says this company has the same financial resources as that one?
Who says the video you shared is not significantly newer than the one OP shared?
Who says this is even a company made robot? This could be an engineering competition for all we know.
You called it AI based on a comparison with no logical basis behind why that would mean it’s AI, not based on any actual reason or tell within the video.
I can see several reasons why this is not an AI video within the video. The background is too consistent, trees and the fence stay in the same place. Things that go off camera come back on camera look the same as before.
That is so fucking dumb that I can’t even explain it, your comment that is. I felt my own brain cells imploding from just reading it.
What am I missing here?
Are you certain that there is a claim that the company responsible for the tripping robot put this out as a piece of publicity?
Because if not, if it was a leak, or taken by someone not affiliated, then it would make sense it’s on the internet.Or, are you arguing that because there exists a robot which can run reliably at 10 m s-1, that this one shouldn’t exist?
Because my car goes 0-60 slower than a McMurtry Speirling, and yet it exists.I’m suggesting that any company that has a robot that does this is in deep fucking trouble. They should pull an Allbirds and do an AI pump and dump because they are far behind the market.
Ah ok. In your first post you said “it has to be AI”, which made me think you were saying the video was fake.
is either staged or generated. No company that is serious about the field is going to show themselves as being slthat far behind their competitors.
Have you even thought about the fact that this is most likely not the company releasing it, but rather a smartphone video made by some random bystander? It could also be a fairly old video of an early prototype - if I remember right, spaceX has once released a video with a bunch of rocket launch fails for the funsies. Or hell, maybe it’s a school project of some engineering students. Nobody really knows the context.
Your claim of that video being AI has nothing to do with the video, but simply “other companies are further than this lol” which is honestly a pretty stupid standpoint. You should analyze the video itself for any hints of being AI generated.
no, that’s the current cutting edge
There’s no speed bumps on that track, though.
tbf gotta break some robots to make them do stuff like this:
Tis but a scratch.
