I like how they had the stretcher immediately ready for him.

    The most terrifying thing about these robots is their insane power density. If you were walking around and saw that you wouldn’t feel at risk. It has the strength to tear its metal and plastic body to dust. We just saw it. No human could do that, yet these robots deceive us with their human like appearance.

    The slightest twitch, error, our bug and they turn into human meat blenders killing anyone around them. Even worse is intentional harm by the owner… And the manufacturer will often have an override access letting them theoretically possess a robot army at will with only their good virtue stopping them. Elon Musk is about to have this…

    The future is going to be a weird and dangerous place!

      Honestly, they’re just really fragile. It’s like comparing your microwave to a nuclear device. Like sure, maybe it could kill a human if you intentionally tried to cause it to combust and stood really, really closely to it lol

        They may be fragile but they are also extremely strong compared to a person. Here is a Tesla bot falling and hitting a closed water bottle hard enough to send water spraying. No human would do that as an international action.

        Maybe they’re not stronger in the absolute, but you never find a human just giving 100% power by accident, we also sense unintended contact, or unexpected material yield and adjust our force. And maybe that’s the problem here, robots constantly glitch and just give 100% force to whatever is around them.
