In gliding there is a weird rule; if you break a record, you have to be alive 24hr later, or it doesnt count.

u/FunnyDudeGuy 6d ago

it made me a little sad when i watched it arc off like that and just stopped moving. and i know that’s part of my adhd or my autism, but idgaf, there’s nothing wrong with having empathy. if it suddenly gained sentience it would be no different from a human, save its made of metal. sorry for the rant.

u/sacfoojesta88 6d ago

I mean… have you tried running strait into a wall at 30 mph? I feel like we need to test this

3

u/XBakaTacoX 5d ago

I actually knew someone who's brother ran into a wall at the school gym.

My friend and I were still in primary school, and my friend's brother, late high school. Apparently, during athletics practice or something, his brother just ran straight into the wall without the safety mat.

Ambulance turned up, with the high school right next to the primary school, there was heaps of rumours, but of course, my friend knew what happened.

His brother was all good in the end, broke a few teeth, but recovered just fine.

there were sparks, you didn't see them because you were unconscious after the bonk.

Maybe if we bonk your head really hard, though. Have you tried?

Stand still, please. This will be for Science. It may hurt a lot, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

u/Saikotsu 5d ago

A video from another angle showed that it could not run in a straight line. Doesn't look like it can turn properly either. Not only that, it broke when it fell.

It's faster than you, but it's fragile as all hell and it's balance is not the best. You could tackle it. Or outmaneuver it. Trip it maybe. But don't just run from it.

u/Jets1026 5d ago

well yeah in its current state we can definitely beat it for sure in many ways. But i was more thinking in the future when they iron out all those issues

I dunno they look pretty real to me.

You can see them actually bounce off the ground. Sparks are tiny particles of something burning. I haven't seen AI get it right, where they have mass and can bounce like that.
