i know who I am. I am the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another dude

I was there Friday night in San Francisco for the @REK event, and this is something you had be in the room to get it, but I’ll try to describe it.

It hit completely differently from robot-versus-robot fights. Those are entertaining, sure, but after a while they start to feel strange. You’re empathizing with machines that aren’t conscious, don’t feel pain, and don’t feel anything. Robot versus human hits different and raw, it was an emotional rollercoaster. I felt real fear for the human fighter, and real excitement, mostly fear, and when it ended there was a huge wave of relief.

The robots were remote-controlled, of course, but the kicks were genuinely powerful. We know how power-dense those actuators are, and the human fighter took real hits to his body. The kicks from the six-foot-tall EngineAI T800 seemed nearly impossible to dodge when they were hurled in the right direction. The Unitree H1 was even harder to deal with because its dynamic balance is so good that it just refused to go down.

This could be the start of a genuinely new entertainment genre. But I can tell you this: if someone wants to fight a robot with a real AI brain and real perception, you’d need robots that are far less powerful, throttled down, and compliant. Otherwise it ends in serious injury or worse.

This is the beginning of something different in robotics and entertainment, and we need to think seriously about it before regulators use moments like this as fearmongering fodder to throttle the entire humanoid frontier.

@NVIDIAGeForce @Garydwayne @NBA2K guys guys.... i dont have the game and i dont care about basketball, but i need this GPU. I NEED IT ! I can give you my left testicle and promise you my first born son! #RTXPoster

@TomerGamerTV @lmstudio If i ubderstand it right - its faster which can help when xou cant load whole 30b model to vram. Because of prediction of tokens this can run fast even when it loads into RAM. But i didnt try it yet.

@GTAVoclock The wait is over. Now wait three weeks

@RockstarGames

[NO CONTEXT HUMANS @HumansNoContext]

This is scary

[NamelessNPC @DocikT]

@project_vice from what I see, it looks like they are holding it all for really intensive last few months / weeks. Also maybe they are waiting for people cool down after no disc drama. I believe they will show another story/character trailer aka trailer 3.

@project_vice i get you mate. But its coming. Trust

[NamelessNPC @DocikT]

@NVIDIAGeForce @GearsofWar @GeForce_JacobF I would love this. mmmmm

@ConstantGTA 22 or 23rd july i think... Because i have feeling they hold after World CUP, few weeks before earning call and they dont release GTA VI posts in tuesdays as everybody expects.

A stunning piece of engineering!!

1X unveils the new humanoid hand for NEO

- 25 degrees of freedom: 22 fully actuated in the fingers and palm, plus 3 at the wrist.
- The DoF are distributed anatomically rather than evenly, deliberately biased toward a thumb that genuinely opposes the fingers.
- In-house tendon-driven, quasi-direct-drive running low gear ratios of ~5:1 to 15:1 vs the typical 100:1–200:1.
- Motors live in the forearm and pull tendons through the wrist. This keeps the hand light and its inertia low while producing high forces.

Sensing

- All 25 DoF are natively force-controlled and fully backdrivable. Every joint doubles as a force sensor.
- Very important, closed-loop proprioception: it always knows its own pose and effort without looking.
- Tactile skin across the fingertips and surfaces measuring contact and shear. This helps with adaptive gripping in real time.

Safety and durability

- IP68 waterproof and food-safe, so it can wash its own hands.
- Compliant by construction: the low gear ratios, tendon drive, and low distal inertia let external impacts safely backdrive the fingers. It yields when hit by a hammer or caught in a drawer.
- Full finger assemblies validated to millions of cycles.

Manufacturing

- Deep vertical integration: in-house motors, custom electronics, and tendon systems.
- Hundreds built already, with capacity to produce 10,000 hands this year.

@project_vice how they comunicate with us is realy strange. Other companies talk with comunity. They can tease us. If was not Zelnick, we would not know even that bare minimum about some marketing starts in summer. That silence is realy weird. But its funny that silence build up more hype.

The European Parliament voted AGAINST Chat Control. 314 to 276.

And it passed anyway.

Let me tell you how: they needed 361 votes to say no. On the last day before vacation. Every empty seat counted as a yes.

They lost the vote. They won the law.

That’s not democracy. That’s a trick. #ChatControl

[Europarlament přehledně @ep_prehledne]

Evropský parlament dnes schválil znovuotevření a znovuprojednávání tzv. Chat Control 1.0 v rámci naléhavého postupu (tzv. urgent procedure).

[Phoenix ₿ @UW_Phoenix]

Neříkejte mi, že po tomto ještě někdo věříte EU. 🤬

@rockstationonx If GTA VI would be released on PC i would buy it on PC.

[Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo]

🇪🇺‼️🚨 EU - SURVEILLANCE PARADISE:

1) Cars sold in the EU will require a camera that scans the driver’s face to determine if they are distracted.

2) Chat Control is being pushed through. It would allow the EU to scan all private chat messages of citizens.

3) Age verification, which requires users to prove their age with a selfie and ID, is also about to be implemented.

No citizens voted for this, the elites are simply imposing it on the public.

→ Ironically, Ursula von der Leyen is famous for deleting her texts with Pfizer during a major vaccine procurement scandal…

As always, such regulations come with staggering hypocrisy.

@nyc_prophet Wait what? Xbox has Dolby Vision for gaming?
