'Oh my gods! They killed ASIMO!'

[Taro Toporific]

A bot by any other name
Is this the end of the line for Asimo, Japan’s famed robot?
Agence France-Presse | July 01, 2018
...Launched in 2000, the humanoid machine resembling a shrunken spaceman has become arguably Japan’s most famous robot, wheeled out to impress visiting politicians over the years. But Honda said Thursday it may scrap future generations of Asimo, now on its seventh iteration.
“We will still continue research into humanoid robots, but our future robots may not be named Asimo,” Honda spokesman Hajime Kaneko told AFP. The comment came after Japan’s public broadcaster NHK reported that the Japanese carmaker had terminated Asimo and dissolved the team making one of the world’s most famous humanoid robots.

Looks like Honda couldn't keep up with the likes of Boston Dynamics...

[Takechanpoo]

its not well known that boston dynamics is owned by softbank.

[Mike Oxlong]

Thanks for the reminder.

Of course it doesn't matter who owns Boston Dynamics; the fact remains that their robotics technology is superior to that of Honda.

Btw, I think there are (at least) two problems with this type of robots: (1) they require relatively much energy to run, and (2) they are quite fragile, so they need a lot of maintenance.

Tech and concepts...I mean how many pointless/useless Japanese "robots" are there now? At least Boston Dynamics has designs/research with some practical applications. The Japanese ones tend to be all show and even then often fail spectacularly.

The Boston Dynamics ones are pretty damn durable and as battery tech progresses, they will become more feasible.

How do you know they are that durable? I cannot judge that from the videos.

Regarding battery tech, I think we can see some quite spectacular improvements in the coming decade, but the fact remains that wheels are more efficient (and durable) than legs.

[Grumpy Gramps]

I could never understand, why the Japanese built so many bots that are no more than oversized tamagotchis and have no practical use at all. There is a huge opportunity out there to make up for all these lost decades and all they do is kiddy play.

There are a bunch of scenes in many of them kicking them, dropping them, etc. Opposed to most of the J-robots that seem to only perform under perfect conditions. (and still fuck up) Have you seen the latest version of spotmini?

The whole Japan-robot culture is more image than reality...

Behind a paywall....

But yeah, AI Day 2 is Friday and there should be a working prototype of Optimus on display. It's a massive AI engineer recruiting event though, don't expect 97% of the population to understand the progress or significance.

Before, as any database admin discovered 1 week after being dropped onto the battlefield, naked, without weapon and clinging to an half empty bottle of antidepressant already mixed with antifreeze grade vodka (*) life was
‘Garbage in’ ‘garbage out’ and ‘pebkac’ anyway…
Now with the new buzzword of AI which is to computer science what covid vaccines are to modern medicine we are gifted with
‘garbage in’ ‘shitshow in the middle’ ‘garbage out’ and ‘pebcpkac’ with the return of “the computer can’t be wrong” from its exile in North Korea… and also, the antidepressant are now generic, the vodka is no longer even safe to use as automotive antifreeze and half the time your are given placebo because some cretin discovered the term of double blind test through a twice hourly edited wikipedia page trying hard to hide the fact that this method do not invalidate the drug tested but rise the possibility of positive psychosomatic interference. I/e it’s not because the placebo work that the drug fail… but like nukabananas and brawndo… if it haz electrolytes init it dun do be a workin’

I truly thought we would no longer need to sacrifice goats in the server room since windows XP… alas…

Are you really comparing neural nets to the Covid Vaccine?

Show starts in 3.....2.......wait, fuck, pacific time

No, I’m comparing covid vaccine to redneck moonshine
But since we are surrounded by cretin who think an illegal vaccine(*) who need 4 booster shots per year is the result of modern medicine i’m running low on metaphores.

(*) It’s not me stating this… it’s the books of laws…

blame Trump! and listen to them Hollywood Raps

and 'Oh my gods! They killed Democracy...Crossing the Rubicon!
but its not Lawfare

scream NNNOOOOOO !

Trump busted a Felon Convicted, could not keep his dick in his pants with Stormy Daniels she has a copyright on her pussy Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford aligned with perverted shekel counters and their hustle smut industry

Yeah maybe Hillary also knew of sleaze bags like Epstein but Bill Clinton’s settlement with Paula Jones differs, it differs!

Trump never builds 'A Wall' never pulls back the Deep State, never goes to prosecute both sides, never pulls back the LDS Mormons, the pedo Roman Catholic criminals Masonic British Evangelicals, the Saudi and Hebrew immigration society smuggling across the border
says he will bring manufacturing home, disconnect from Chinese, decouple from China but never does
Donald Trump gets Bolton a Zionist and 'Greatest Ally' pedophile Dershowitz on his team and
Alan Dershowitz helped OJ get away with murder, who is his dead wife Sue Barlach...he will sue you because you are not allowed talk about her? its just a Cohen-incidence another greatest ally Michael Cohen makes victory lap, celebrates and starts doing dances after Trump verdicts

Asimo becomes an islamic a Robot that will carry out Sharia Law kamikaze death but don't owrry J-cops will cover it all up just as they covered up connections between Muhammad Hussain Inoki aka Kanji Antonio Inoki and his link to the death of the Rushdie translator....Hitoshi Igarashi murdered by the islamo buddies of Antonio Inoki?

in 2019, Inoki finally announced his retirement from politics

maybe its now a race between Musk and China to build some super Artificial Intelligence mega brain with its army of humanoids or drones, Elon Musk says he's peaceful but who knows when there will be the arrival of the new AI Overlord
