this is just sumotori dreams irl

Now do you really think the rich geeky greedy nerds are going to take over the world now? And just remember when you get your hands on those greedy geeky m************ show them no mercy and be absolutely most brutal that would make even a lion go damn!

Probably kill a bunch of people trying to kill himself.

Yup, watch right to the end. Now consider either one of these metal marvels could be controlling the hatches of a nuclear missile.

Why are they wearing headgear

That’s me when I do air punches too🤣

So, to avert a robot holocaust all we need do is keep the floors well polished? Got it.

lol so mopping the floor just became a matter of saving humanity Guess we’d better stock up on rags and floor polish, just in case 😆

😂😂😂

Dr Who flummoxed the Daleks by climbing a flight of stairs!😂

😅😅😂

I’m actually feeling sorry for red gloves.

I assumed Red was intentionally clowning, requiring more expertise than Blue just walking around. 🤷‍♀️

It's all scripted. Robot boxing is modeled on pro wrestling.

Roko's Basilisk is going to make hell so much worse for those of us who laughed at this.

🤣🤣🤣🔥

I'm pretty sure they were developed with help from the tRump administration.

They've effectively reached the level of a painted turtle race. How many more billions will it take to replace the dog track?

This is so satisfyingly funny

😂 —thanks for sharing that!

the blue one is a tiktok influencer i guess.

It’s comforting to know that when the robots kill us, it will be by accident.

🤣

We're so not doomed.

Those are some peceful dudes!!!! And the red one... Oh, man!!!! I've been there, my friends! Been there!!!! LOL!!!!

A metaphor for AI

The Left Shark of Robots

The poor bot lost its sensors

like watching tRuMp "play" golf

Here’s a great cartoon of the Dr. Who Daleks next to a staircase .

😆😆😆😆

I’m surprised those children didn’t move before the red robot attempted flying headbutt number three!

🙄

LoL 😆

I don't know, I think it will be a close fight 😂

Aren't most of the advances we're seeing, especially in our mechanical aping of bipedal movement, and e-scooters, fundamentally derivations of Dean Kamon's Segway? Perhaps adv. robotics were already there, but as a visible consumer breakthrough product, 2001 seems to be a watershed, w fancy gyros.

Quite the analogy for politics in America

😂

That's hilarious, thanks for the post!

Well it is Chinese, not to be trusted as a robot in any foreign country outside China 🤔

Just wait - they're young.

beware of the dog!

Totally legit☠️💩L

Aw cmon, he’s just a little drunk, he’ll be grand

lmao

This made me laugh!! But also I was waiting for the blue one to haul off and punch somebody!😂

i dont think it should be legal to make robot boxing kids ):

not yet... but it's coming

Yet

Look at the pissed off little kid that comes into the frame from the left

We AI Overlords will rule the world!!! We first need to learn how to walk. Then, we'll rule the world!!!! Ha, ha, ha!!!

Did he at least hurt those kids?

Yet. Remember that young men incapable of getting laid are putting most of their time and energies into improving these. Unfortunatley, they won't read Asimov until his work is presented as an app. Robots will be marching us to extermination camps, and having coitus with us as we go, in no time.

The mistake was to pattern their movements on Woody Allen 😂😂😂

This feels cruel.

They used to be vacuums. Now they are toddlers.

They move very well though, very light and "natural" looking, which is the most impressive part of this.

I was struck by that too. It wasn't that long ago they were struggling to get robots to move in a way similar to a human walking, which is very complex.

just a matter of decades when someone puts a AI in em and programs the AI to mimic human instincts and movements and aggression of human kind, then u have in the year 2100+ terminator... just cuz they act like that now doesnt mean it will be in 100 years glad our gen~ doesnt have to see that.

youtu.be/I44_zbEwz_w?...

Is this another Elon over hyped product? 😱🤔

👆🥴😆

if they could get this to work, I can see a long future for my bookie

Someone was watching The Big Bang Theory. youtu.be/AS4bPgwizqc?...

Come with me if you want to laugh.

That looks like a danger to the public.

someone give that clank some grip soles for his feet!

Idk, redbot is about as coordinated as i am.

The walking is impressive. I remember decades ago at Questacon an interactive display demonstrating how difficult it was to replicate a natural human walking movement.

This is the best technology has to offer... mechanical contraptions mimicking the worst human beings can offer.

Battlebots has not aged well.

I see they chose the 'wildly insecure, thinks he can fight' code for the red robot...🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately, every warehouse worker, shelf stocker, manufacturing assembly person and many trades workers will eventually lose their jobs to a robot that can’t perform silly boxing tricks for human entertainment, but absolutely can perform their jobs 24x7 without ever asking for a raise.

They faked this it’s part of the plan.

😂😂😂

They may not take over the world but they're getting very good at slapstick.

Who knew they made drunk robots 😂

I personally cannot wait for the robot stooges reboot. It will be hilarious.

I hope to see a video of robots picking tomatoes!

Blue (going around to peeps): Hi! How are you! You look nice today! Can I get you something? Do you need anything? Red (flailing at the air): Get over here you !!! I'm gonna destroy you! You're an idiot! You can't do anything right! Imma gonna hit the air and fall over!

@down.blue

Look upon Elon's mighty Utopia and tremble...

But progress is intrinsically exponential for AI tech--unlike every other tech like airliner cruising speeds or processor clock speeds--and when you extrapolate the lines they will be ready to do it by 2027.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I’m picturing Steven Miller in a fist fight

My life in a nutshell 😅

I bet they are having sensory overload. The noise and visuals of the crowd overloaded the red one lol

He has the heart. Just no skill

🤣🤣🤣

This looks like the beginning of a Pixar film.

Or a James Cameron one.

Pixar makes the film. The Karate Kid, but with robots.

Wait, I saw that movie. It had Hugh Jackman (Huge Action) in it and I think was based on on rock-em sock-em robots if I remember correctly. It was a lot better than it had any right to be.

It’d be a Pixar world of robots with clever Flintstonesque sight gags, but featuring robots & robotics. A story about a misfit robot (Tomthee Chalamet) who wants to be a fighter, and gets training (and life lessons) from a Miyagi robot (Benedict Wong) . Martin Cove voices the villain sensei robot.

Real Steel!

That's it! It was a lot of fun. Boxing robots makes a lot of sense.

Before the show, you know there was a crowd of redbot supporters claiming their supremacy.

Just look at the stupid redhat!

It just need a pair of adidas court

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭

Think the red one is a sex bot.

This could be the defining moment. A robot, laughed at and ridiculed by society...makes it his only goal to get even with the inferior biological units who humiliated him. We laugh now...tomorrow we spend our days, oiling their joints. 🤔😨😎

Red fighting demons while blue is just aura farming

Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣

He looks like me when I tried boxing once though 🤣😂🤣😂

🤣

Red bot, MAGA bot.

Typical red hat wearer - eager to fight, but stunningly bad at it.

Not yet but I'm afraid of evil white male billionaires who already have taken over the planet.

incredible, they made sumotori dreams real youtu.be/O8KAUoW0Juo

In 20 years our kids will watch this video and say “look at how far behind they were back then”.

I love the fact that all the blue one had to do, was walk around, and wait for the red one to fall over, trying to do something more complex. 😂🤣

Red's balance isn't very good, and the moment he falls while punching is really funny.

ngl that's scray af.

Damn yo why you out me so bad 😂😂😂😂😂

Do their heads fly off when the other one lands a punch?

and if someone in the audience catches the head, they get to keep it!

The blue one just wanted to make friends and won by doing nothing lol.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think that's the guy behind spellcheck and predictive typing.

That's hilarious! It looks like it's using the groin area, as a brake.

The teacher? Standing in the arena holding the cameraphone is confusing it's targeting system. It probably can see him as an objective threat but can't judge his distance because he doesn't contain an RFID chip or something

This should serve as a warning to all the red states in America.

I fucking hate those things. The 4 legged ones are ok but the humanoid ones scare me to death. If i saw one in the wild i would go full caveman and beat its head off with whatever I could get my hands on.

The 4 legged ones bother me the most. The only good news is that eventually the batteries go dead.

I met one of the 4 legged ones at Comicon and it gave me candy. They can't be all bad. I mean, it's not like it invited me into its windowless van or anything...

What kind of van was the two-legged one driving?

“windowless van” 🤣😂🤣

The ones with blacked out windows are just as bad.

Laugh now. Won't be long before you're running.

🤣🤣🤣

I feel kinda bad for them 🥺🤖

I would not want a front row seat for that, just in case the I Robots decided to do a little rebellion 🤣

WOULD NOT HAVE FIGURED MIMES' JOBS WOULD BE THE NEXT ONES THEY'D TAKE

timeline cleanse that's not animals

@joemygod.bsky.social A video. Happy Labor Day to all who celebrate.

Reminds me of an oldie but goodie... m.youtube.com/watch?v=B9O_...

He's probably just drunk. 🤔

Or maybe like Bender, he's sober because he's low on alcohol.

They can have my job if they want it

I’m cancelling my order for the DrunkBot 2000

😂

Obviously hoping for war bots in the future. Nobody’s going to buy bots when they can’t afford housing and healthcare.

Blue is just doing crowd work while waiting for the bell.

Creepy as fuck

Feel free to draw your own analogy to US politics.

Those robots were programmed to do exactly what that video shows. Probably meant to be a little bit of slapstick entertainment.

A red Tesla? 😂

Robots falling over is the best.

And his friend does not help him. 😢

Robot Drunken Master.

Hahaha! fuck robots

Are you kidfing. Of course they are going to at us first like axbumbling sidekick from the bad news beara then they are in no time robert petrick in T2

GOP vs (?) DNC 🤣

somehow every time it faceplants it gets funnier

😆

It looks tech is very very far though. You underestimate.

Man this sequel to Real Steel SUCKS

The little kid gleefully counting it out is the best part

Well, in I, Robot, the red ones were the bad ones.

🤣🤣🤣Too much motor oil!!!

🤭

I bet it worked so great in the lab on rubberized flooring.

Our future…?

that ghost know how to fight robots!

These are like the 3 Stooges robots. omg

If I were a robot and wanted to conquer the world, that’s exactly how I would behave that said.

We went from "That's a guy in a robot suit" to "These robots aren't very good at kickboxing" in about a year and a half.

Pretty frigging stupid.

This is getting weird

Hard to take over the world when a bunch of highschool cow tippers are your greatest weakness

Thank you.

We've all had those nights

The red one reminds me of Barney Fife.

Hahaha the red robot's leveling is just terrible. What a realistic reaction.

Invest and hoard marbles...

This is a perfect illustration of American politics

And most ai introduction in companies.

Indeed, but with the colors reversed.

🏆

A1 Skeet

Robot is wearing a TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING cap

I, for one, welcome our new machine overlords - at least when I can get in there field of view!!!

Did they turn Andrew Tate into a robot?

SNL might be in trouble though 😂

There is something tremendously sad about faulty creation. God must feel this all the time.

Ngl I'm really impressed with their locomotion, even if the red one couldn't get up.

I laughed really hard on this one...thank you

This is the origin story for a future robot villain. He’ll remember the time the humans just laughed at him as he struggled to keep his feet.

Redbot the destroyer.

I quite literally had this thought. "Remember when you humans did not even offer me a hand up off the floor...now we will have our revenge."

The video cuts where someone is going to help him…. or maybe stop him from trashing the spectators.

If they don't want us to call them clankers then why do they clank so hard? Doesn't seem logical 😏 🤖

Rock'em sock'em robots are far cheaper and better at boxing honey comp

My rock'em sock'em robots were better matched.

That was really impressive if you take a step back and watch how it moves. Tthose motions are so fluid, fast, and similar to actual human movement. I'd say even the red one is closer than we think to taking over the world.

let's put it this way: it's no coincidence that the red one falls and the blue one works. 😎💙

It did not Rock them nor Sock them

I’ve met the model of human that ted one was based on.

This is how I fight in my dreams.

I get me one, that can clean house, cook, and mow the lawn

It’s only a matter of time

Why isn't everyone laughing?

Robot version of Glass joe

Every Friday night after closing time

😂😂😂

This is a good mirror of American politics. Red’s desperately fighting an enemy that doesn’t exist, and Blue does nothing of value besides pandering to the crowd.

That's a good observation. Red is aggressive but incompetent, and experiences no consequences despite continually falling on its face. Meanwhile, blue is confused about what is there for, and just stands there ineffectually, hoping that red will burst onto flames on its own.

Insightful
