What the robots are learning right now. Not the pitch, the proof.

[Neo @neonextge]

A FOREMAN SHOVED A ROBOT ON A CONSTRUCTION SITE. THEN IT CHASED HIM WITH A SHOVEL.

The robot was doing its job, loading cement into a wheelbarrow.

The foreman walks up and starts pushing it by the head. Once. Twice. Again.

The robot stops working.

It raises the shovel.

He covers his face, turns around and runs.

And the robot follows him across the site, shovel still in the air.

Everyone jokes about robots taking our jobs.

Nobody thought about what happens when you treat them like your worst employee.

A ROBOT BLOCKED A RANGE ROVER IN THE MIDDLE OF PARIS AND NOBODY DID A THING ABOUT IT.

It walked onto the crosswalk in pink sneakers and a pink backpack.

Then it started dancing.

The car sat at the line. The people on the sidewalk didn't call anyone or get out of the way. They pulled out their phones.

No handler in the shot. Nothing between the robot and the street.

When it was done, it turned around and strolled off down the sidewalk on its own, like it was running late for lunch.

Nobody in this video treats it like the future.

They treat it like a street performer.

And the only one in a hurry is the Range Rover.

@sonix599 That's what got me. The kids weren't scared and weren't amazed. They were just watching. That's probably the most dangerous and most powerful reaction a new technology can get.

THIS ROBOT HIT THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF KIDS AND NOBODY EVEN FLINCHED.

Not a lab. Not a trade show stage.

A public square with strollers parked in the front row.

One guy with a controller. No fence. Nothing between the machine and a line of toddlers.

It kicks, drops to the ground and spins on its back.

For a second it looks like it crashed.

Then it pushes itself up and stands like nothing happened. The whole recovery takes 2.7 seconds.

The adults are filming. The kids just watch, the same way they would watch a street performer.

That's the part worth noticing.

These kids won't grow up thinking humanoids are the future.

They'll grow up thinking they're normal.
