After us, robots – culture / next

From this post Daily Newsletter of the Department of Culture of Publication, Sent free every evening.

Gestures are flexible and determined, not at the level of experts in pop clips, but without the slightest ambiguity, to perform in front of friends of those and those who are not cold in the eyes or subscribers of their dictatorial community. In the new promotional video for the American company Boston Dynamics – known for its stuttering androids and other headless robot dogs on the net, they look so beautiful on the go – four models can be found on the foot (Atlas), on the legs (on the spot) or on the wheels (on the handle) to give it a go. Do You Love Me Des Condors, a twist known for its funny songs (“I can mash / and I can dance the twist”), At the wedding of cousin Hugo at 2 a.m. with Aunt Yvonne and Uncle Robert. The desperation of the helpless victim of this ruthless decision was swallowed up by the guilt of participating in the recovery of the epidemic for sharing a cab with three very long friends, the indecent provocation in one part of these fucking machines to see only one thing: if we danced in our daily lives they would not follow us well if we did not do it for ourselves Well, again, New Year’s Eve at night, the clubs are not ready – but then, no – to reopen, and in its absence, ada, to mix to the rhythm of myasma and natural wine vapors, to the rhythm What am I going to say AG Cook or Kitty Cat Issued by Beyonc.

Have you ever thought about that before Boston Dynamics’ community executives send their video to the networks? Should we find cruelty, or an option that does not speak its name, on behalf of engineers hired by a company that specializes in robotics for military use? , Paralyzed by the inability to avoid wars and climate catastrophe, and replaced by cleaner and less-fitting half-twins? We are only given one parade for this New Year celebration: for example to put a good old quality electro funk Jam on It Of the nucleus, on the turntable, and train to be a robot alone or with family until the end of the night. What are the Boston Dynamics robots going to do in response to this? Create robots? 54.2 to open their club? Control yourself to get drunk sadly and dance alone Shoulder tattoo Or Smells like Teen Spirit ? We have not been informed that Spot has recently been transformed into an anti-Govt cleaner, and we know that this is only a facade, this time the creatures of Boston Dynamics are training to turn their piece and dance the caterpillar.
