They can refuel each other by docking or something. It'll be like that robot thats constantly sweeping the oil into itself and when it stops, it dies.

They can refuel each other by docking or something.

That's a funny way to spell dicking.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fun fact: the term docking can refer to one person putting the head of their penis inside of the foreskin of another person.

I guess I'm one of today's lucky 10,000 for this particular factoid.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't know the term, but I wouldn't say I'm "lucky", now.

Yeah, I also feel kind of conflicted about this.

Absolute nightmare fuel.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 23 points 1 month ago

Horrific, but still more lifelike than the real Zuck.

If you take the time to actually read the article/watch the video, the dogs are constantly taking pictures in styles of their person, and shit them out onto the floor lol.

I do not condone the abuse of animals, but I will make an exception with this. Time to put some mutts to sleep via percussive maintenance.

Wow. I hate it. Fuck this guy.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You're supposed to hate it.

It talks of how art once influenced you, and now its algorithms.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

No, no, thats so ridiculous, why does Kojima always do this absurd over the top nonsense?

Oh whats that?

This is actual reality?

... Oh.

Maybe that Kojima guy was actually onto something.

My religion states that I have to destroy them if I see them.

I realize there are amazing artists with great sculpting skills. But these faces do look like they were made from real face moulds.

Which makes me wonder.

  1. Musk and Zuck agreed to have a mould of their face.
  2. Only these two fools could afford these robot dogs.
  3. Musk already developed remote robot tech.

Conclusion. They both are behind the stunt.

There was a tesla humanoid robot a while back with musks face.

Dude. It's likely them running these robots. Remotely.

Cause they can't go out in public. Cause of the angry mobs.

Using AI to create a 3D mold from a few photos?

Na, there are great artists out there with a sense for details. Check out Bobby Fingers youtube channel for instance. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXKCiTquPMavBqgXgrM9mBg He usually make dioramas with (a ridiculous) commentary, but one time he made Jeff Bezos head as a rowing boat.

Each of he robots poops out AI art in the style of whoever's head it is. No surprise the artist is famous for NFTs.
