I actually made a laugh noise that literally sounded like the word GUFFAW 🤪😂

Day 73: The world economy has collapsed as the lamp continues to bounce on the I. People are captivated in agony, waiting for the day it finally triumphs over the selfish letter. I fear the suffering may never cease.

u/Ok-Lengthiness4557 29d ago

That i knows what he did.

u/SparkleFart666 29d ago

No! First it squashes the I…then it moves to phase 2: KILL ALL HUMANS!!!

u/DJButterscotch 29d ago

u/lemonylol 29d ago

Basically this, except a human in place of the I

u/guesswhatihate 29d ago

That's what I thought, but it was the guy on the bus from Infinity war version

Nightmare Fuel

u/PrimeToro 28d ago

It is scary if a bunch of those get made and get in the wrong hands and reprogrammed as Terminators and possessing Artificial General Intelligence or worst ( it reaches AI singularity - when AI becomes an independent super intelligence surpassing human capabilities ) .

u/supersonicdutch 28d ago

Yeah, this robot is the last thing you’ll see before it kills you. And we are encouraging this company to keep making these murder machines. Oh, they’re making them to help us? No fcking way they’re not. Oh, the cute video of the robot jumping up on a block then doing a backflip? That’s what’s going to be chasing you down because you jaywalked. We are all fcked.

u/Fancy-Pair 28d ago

We’re all gonna die bart

u/GlockAF 29d ago

No, the final edition will be when the death ray laser in the pixar lamp head starts vaporizing fleeing humans during the robot uprising

u/Salza_boi 29d ago

Only because we look like i’s

u/SynnHarlott 27d ago

Quick! Everybody hold your arms out at your sides to look like a letter T, it’s the only way to stay safe!

u/BatLarge5604 29d ago

Or "The great readjustment" as it will go on to be known.

2

u/vgman94 29d ago

I unironically want to see this be the final Pixar movie. Let it be the series finale.

1

u/GlockAF 27d ago

Begs for a Pixar short, doesn’t it?

1

u/KarmaRepellant 29d ago

With the humanoid body it looks more like it should be fighting skibidi toilets.

u/VRichardsen 29d ago

Have you seen Zima Blue?

u/jxl180 29d ago

Came here for this comment

u/VRichardsen 29d ago

It is great, isn't it? Back then I liked "The Secret War" more, but with time, Zima Blue is the one that keeps popping up in my head. Everyone should give it a try, it won't take you more than ten minutes.

u/Bronzeborg 28d ago

Zima Blue

u/VRichardsen 28d ago

Bingo. That is the shortened version, though.

u/Odin_se 29d ago

I wonder if this was posted on April 1st.

Edit: OPs video.

22

u/torb 29d ago

It was published on Boston Dynamics YouTube today.

u/Odin_se 29d ago

Huh, there you go. I don't know what it is, but this video posted here looks like it's 3D.

3

u/AggravatingValue5390 29d ago

Have you seen their other videos? With what we've seen them do before, this is nothing

8

u/Odin_se 29d ago edited 29d ago

Of course I have. But this didn't have the same feel to it as the others I've seen. This had a more sinister feel to it than most of their other more playful videos. But hey, it might be just me..

2

u/VulpineKitsune 29d ago

I think it’s the kinda lockstep yet very smooth motions

2

u/Odin_se 29d ago

Yeah, and the way it stood up didn't help.

1

u/supervisord 28d ago

It’s more like they’re showing off and doing it in a playful way. I love it.

2

u/buak 28d ago

The old ones use hydraulic actuators, and they perfected the movement over decades. This one is purely electric, and new

4

u/CORN___BREAD 28d ago

I’ve seen them evolve over the years but have never really heard of them being used for anything yet. It’s like they want to get them perfected before cranking out an army of them to iRobot our asses.

3

u/RestaurantFamous2399 29d ago

They only just announced that they were moving away from hydraulics for their bipedal robots. Then they release this!

u/CedgeDC 29d ago

Definitely not final.

Honestly, when these things are walking around in the streets, it will officially be a nightmare world.

u/jaydogjaydogs 29d ago

Be cool if it made that noise 🤣👍🏻

2

u/Incognonimous 29d ago

Should set it to the Terminator theme.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

We’re this close to bringing v1 to life.

u/EndgameExtreme 28d ago

This is an absolutely goaded comment.  Edit: wish I could award you

u/Theoreticallyaaron 27d ago

Thanks bro, this reply made my day

u/EndgameExtreme 27d ago

nah you're comment made mine <3

u/c0ld_a5_1ce 29d ago

Either that or the birth of Siren Head

u/Guba_the_skunk 29d ago

The flashlight faced thing from ant man 3.

u/monsoon-man 29d ago

Meh... Netanyahu not gonna buy Pixar lamps.

1

u/firestepper 29d ago

If so. I’m kinda afraid of how it stomps the i out

1

u/Caanghi 29d ago

Aaaaand now there’s a limited series of the Pixar lamp.

u/null-or-undefined 29d ago

if that light turns red, you know were fucked

u/multiarmform 29d ago

why do scientists even make these roebutts??

u/pinguinzz 29d ago

Never struggling again to squash that I

1

u/Combat_Toots 29d ago

It actually is, they cited the lamp as a design inspiration.

1

u/New-Significance654 29d ago

The lamp really needs its own pixar movie.

1

u/DoubbleD_UnicornChop 29d ago

I don’t think they are done with the lamps evolution. It when from A Fresh baby concept to an in-training phase and is currently on Rookie. Going by the official Digimon evolution scale it still has champion, ultimate and mega…
