Now, the California-based robotics firm has released a video showcasing its 01 humanoid robot executing its first job by participating in the vehicle assembly process."

      It’s also going to keep getting better and faster at it, too.

        And this is presumably an early model, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they specifically want it to appear careful for the demo video.

          We’re poised on the brink of complete and total change to the nature of our existence and economy. The fact that this isn’t priority number one for politicians is absolutely insane. This is what should be discussed during the presidential debate, not who is better at golf. Like wtf bullshit bizaro world have I found myself in?
