Right? In these demos, it’s always “Look at the robot picking up that box, how useful.”
When in reality, it will probably be “Look at the robot picking up that gun, we are all screwed”

As a note there’s something about the 70s era films I rather like the look of. Unsure what this is because I would like to replicate it.

Why are they using cardboard boxes with ‘10lbs’ written on them? If ever there was an opportunity to use a weighted companion cube, surely this is it!

Valeris: Four hundred years ago on the planet Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threated by automation flung their wooden shoes called sabots into the machines to stop them.

Batteries are improving, though. Seems logical to me for Boston to focus on what they’re good at, and just trust that other markets will drive the batteries to where they need them (coughTeslacough)
