Black Mirror, episode “Metalhead.” One of the SCARIER episodes. But not every BM is scary. Some are sweet. Some are hilarious. But some are downright fuckin’ spooky, like this one.

My first thought. There was a time when the Boston Dynamics videos only gave me a sense of Uncanny Valley unease mixed with wonder at the engineering, but not since that episode.

fuck. I think I just outed myself as a mutant who hasn’t yet watched Black Mirror… I imagine some sort of swift-gaited automaton will be 'round shortly to strip me of my badges…

That’s nice - so the robot with the arm can hold the door open for the robot with the bazooka.

Take away a rear leg, add another head/arm, and you’ve got a robotic Pierson’s Puppeteer!

I love how the humans commenting here think the two bodies must have two separate minds, rather than a single mind with two bodies.
UH… I MEAN I AM A HUMAN TOO… [BEEP BREEEDD’K’K’K’K’K] HOW NICE TO BE HUMAN WITH YOU TODAY.

Nah, those robots are much too adventurous to be Puppeteers.

Heh, yeah. But we’re not used to this. The default setting on the human brain seems to be “anthropomorphize.”
Like @MaiqTheLiar, I kind of expected the 2nd robot to go back where it came from, as if it had been called to open the door. But then I had the thought, “oh it probably just wants to go see what the other one’s up to in there!”
