Did you know there is an industry-standard mounting system for strap-on dildos? Just saying.

These “” posts / articles are click bait and nonsense discussions bait
Were the others not fully electric!?!?! Like obviously they were but the title makes it sound like they built steampunk robots.
The old atlas had hydraulics, this one only electric actuators. Thats probably what they meant.
That makes a lot of sense, actually. I also saw "fully electric" and immediately thought of electric/hybrid/ICE cars, and my brain went straight to "hold up, did I miss the fully functional diesel-powered humanoid robot?"
A robot could never excede my performance in being depressed and autistic so Im safe.
We've got LLMs now that can do that. Sorry, you've been replaced. Please gather your things into this box and cheer up.

Or just running down the street looking for an electric outlet to plug into

Your mother makes robots in hell.
"exceeds human performance" .. in crushing whatever it is gripping, right?
It's such a weird phrasing. They make it sound like you can give it nails and a hammer and it can frame a house better than a human.
I mean have you seen inspection videos on YouTube? Homebuilders are doing a half assed job these days.
Those are addictive.
Me watching: " oh yeah, that's ridiculous, how'd that pass inspection? "

Maybe eventually
And also since when human performance are all the same level
in a general sense we are.
Absolutely not. Especially when it comes to speed and endurance.
I mean like we don't pull carriages with even our top athletes but we will with a runt of the litter horse.
No you absolutely do not! You never put more than half the weight of the horse on it's back. I just recently went riding and since I'm not a fucking lardass I got to ride a good horse.
Movies and TV are not real life.
carriages can be of all types of sizes you know but if a humans pulling it we call it a rickshaw and we would never attach a horse to it because it could not handle its power.
When I was taking classes on similar things, 'human performance' was generally defined as how well an expert in a given task performed.
