Chinese humanoid robots smash human records in 100m sprint and high jump at Beijing robot games

Newsflash, cars drive faster than humans run. Planes fly higher than humans jump.

Sooooooo you’ve got a heart transplant to get into the middle of a dense forest during a war, there’s too much flak for air support, and a vehicle would go at a snails pace.

Would you rather die because technology didn’t advance to allow a robot to be able to run through the forest at breakneck speed because planes exist? Or should we be trying to advance technology at every barrier because there’s other situations where those just don’t make a lick of fucking sense.

There’s obviously contextual situations where a plane and vehicle don’t make sense, but sure let’s inhibit progress for… whatever reason you think you’re making here….?

Cool fantasy if you’re a billionaire. The rest of us are dying in that “dense forest”. jfc.

I just want health care. I don’t give a shit about these dumb clunkers and their imaginary heroics.
