I mean, the planet's dying, but ok. At least we've got robots that "excced human performance" in making their overlords profits. Imagine if these scientists were putting their efforts to real use.

At least they aren’t only working on preventing hair loss and prolonging erections

Seriously, Spotify should buy a bunch and launch pop up DJ venues. Put Skrillex out of a job.

I never knew I needed Boston Dynamics to build a skinwalker, but they knew

"What should we include when we build our humanoid robot?"

"It should stand up in the most unnerving way possible."

Admit it...if your legs could do that, you'd stand up like that every single time. Just because you could. Just like every time General Grievous climbs into a shuttle and does that flip.
