Am I missing something, or did they just dress up a woman with a prosthetic leg to resemble an android, and remove the dressing around the prosthetic to "prove" she isn't human?

I guess they will eventually get there. It is interesting to point out though that the first robot is only shown from the torso down. Guess it has some support?
"We've now constructed the doomsday machine from the popular novel 'Don't build the doomsday machine'"
I like the original “torment nexus” phrasing better.
Ah I was quoting from memory. You're right the torment nexus line is better.

"We're at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift."
What a weird fucking tagline on an article that insinuates a robotic dystopian future.
Although there are some weird horny undertones, so I guess it checks out. Still, weird article all around
They know what grabs people's attention.
What clickbait. Apparently any vaguely capable humanoid robot is a "straight-up Terminator"?
If you can't handle me at my Roy Baty you don't deserve me at my Pris Stratton
They meant that in terms of infiltration they're becoming more humanoid at an exponential level
The result is nice and cool. It is the level of modern journalism that is disturbing.
I worry about it. Every year I see more articles with sloppy mistakes that could be caught by any half-drunk editor phoning his job in. Sites springing up publishing 90% slop clearly so someone can keep writing. Not to mention the risks to journalism in a country where the president threatens any group whose speech he doesn't like.
As (i think) Parenti said, now is the time of monsters. Cool robot though. That, genuinely, is crazy impressive.

In a follow-up event to prove it was a robot, He Xiaopeng had its leg skin cut open in front of a live audience. The robot then walked off the stage.
that one was AI video i believe.
This seems to be the really interesting part: "..the bot also contains the “first all-solid-state battery in the industry,” as opposed to the liquid electrolyte typically found in lithium-ion batteries. Solid-state batteries are considered the “holy grail” for electric vehicle development .."
Gen 1 Synth lookin' motherfucker.
Why does it have boobs though? Is that like extra space For batteries? Why not a bellybutton if we are Going for realism?
Because humans will put tits on anything. I watched a movie about sentient cockroaches, and the girl cockroaches all had tits.
to be fair to the addition of bazongas, those characters are more 'humans in cockroach costumes' than 'sentient cockroaches.'
We all love some badongadongs tho
Because when humans see a robot with boobs, the comments turn into "hey this robot has tits", and when they don't, the comments turn into "humanity is going to be euthanised by the machines".
That's their target market, sex dolls.

Press X to doubt
"We're at a point now where robots can move more sensually than Taylor Swift."
That's a low bar
Pretty sure this grifter had a high bar when he said that.
That looks more like a Terminatrix
I’m not saying this because she’s a billionaire, and this is really nothing against her, her looks, or her music, but I never found Taylor Swift to be, like, sexy. She’s quite beautiful and very talented but she’s just not who comes to mind when I think of slinky sexiness.
She's too doll-like.

So they skipped the Dalek phase, huh?
Didn’t Daleks have little squishy aliens inside them?
Yes, Daleks are not robots, they're squishy tentacle space nazis inside mobile battle casing pepperpots that they call War Machines. The Terminator T1 however looks vaguely like such a pepperpot if you squint and are Doctor Who brained.
Wheeled robots have been the norm for decades, we didn't skip that.
What is the endgame here? People are supposed to buy these? To do what?
The took the fabric off a mechanical device to reveal it was a mechanical device. Disturbing?
I'd buy one if it would help fight off ice agents.
Pretty sure ICE can afford to but thousands/millions of these cyborgs while normal people might have Alexa speakers.
I read ice giants and thought I’d missed a headline today
To do what?
Chores and other stuff we don't want to/can't do. This has been the dream for decades now, so many old encyclopedias with "future tech" chapters show robots caring for people, sometimes as caregivers (for old people, or blind etc), sometimes as entertainers.
Except regular people will struggle to afford food out whilst these will be cleaning rich people's yachts.

Hips don't hallucinate.
