AI kill us all
WE NEED THIS WITH GPT 4o
How did you learn to do all this?👍
SO COOL!! WHAT A GREAT ROBOT AND I SO LOVED WATCHING HOW YOU BUILT IT!!!
That one blade runner quote... still amazing. Fits so well.
Thanks for watching!
@@ThomasBurns Projects with passion like these are the things that are worth watching. Keep it up!
This is 100% Tobor from Shark Boy and Lava Girl 🤖🤖
"Like tears in the rain" haha had to add the "the" so you didn't get copyright struck eh? I tease I tease
"Have you seen anything interesting in your life?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I knew what mr. robo's answer was gonna be!!!! Idk how, my nerd senses weren't just tingling, they were vibrating like a broken rumble pad. I love that, I certainly don't always accurately guess what will come next. But today, I very uncannily did lol.
Thanks for watching, Mike!
@@ThomasBurns I greatly enjoyed this. You are immensely talented and skilled. Thank you for sharing.
3:56 CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME OF THIS OPERA
you didn't have me sold until you said chat gpt
it looks like corporate greed and laziness
now to just mount one of these to the top of an Atlas...
eye mechanism reminds me of Breaking the Ice (1987)
Jimmy neutron alien vibes.
This is an ultra-competent man who understands many things on many levels.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal
This video has great editing, got my adhd brain engaged the whole video
Thanks for watching, Banneman!
Cool, Just a fancy alexa with eyes i guess?
This feels like something in a sci-fi movie! Imagine: the characters find found footage of the early development of their now highly advanced and intelligent robot friend, and he gets to watch the old videos of his creator building him. As he watches, he’s moved… he was to young at the time to appreciate how much his creator loved him, but now, after all he’s been through and learned, he can understand and appreciate this, joy. Silently, he watches the last clips of the video play, and he blinks rapidly a few times. If he had tear ducts, he might have even cried. Quietly he whispers to the ghost of a man he’d learned too late how to love, “thank you, father”
now weld it on top of a roomba, also, you forgot to add a degauser for the screen
8:40 that’s an ibm Selectric 1 and it suffers from the keys locking up and the clutch breaking in a half which could be identified by a clicking sound when turned on.
This stuff is my dream!!! I could be in that room for hours!!
If you used chat-gpt it would be a communisim-bot.
With this Milestone u have achieved u should be able to bring the 4 Think-Tanks of Big MT to live of the Fallout universe. Just imagine: 4 of those with unique Voices interacting and discussing with each other. Here and there some Shitchatting of course^^ Hilarious! WELL Done Sir, love and greetings from Germany <3
If you have an Alexa, please stop pretending to have some kind of interest in technology. At this point, you aren't even concerned with your own safety and well being. Please, get help immediately. Whether it's an a therapist, or an exorcist, or just a small hand held EMP device to deactivate it, or the mind controlling nano-dust in your body.
I came for a robot, and got an adorably irrelevant lecture on stonks and margins instead of your video.
It's so optimistic video 👍👍
I would love something like this sitting on my coffee table.
Thanks for watching, David!
I was half expecting the robot to answer your query of "Do you hear me?" with just.. screaming. And never stop screaming. In absolute existential crisis. Maybe I am just messed up.
Thanks for watching, Kyo!
How much and are you going to be selling him if you make another 🤔
How did I know it was going g to be the blade runner soliloquy before it even spoke ?
Thanks for watching!
Another self retaining relay, activated when both phones are picked up, which temporarily turns off the AC current. It must disengage when both phones are hug up. The idea is to not have any phone ringing when hanging the other up. You need the AC only at the beginning ...
That’s a great idea! Thanks for watching, Optron!
I envision him in a little sleepy owl costume, placing a beak over the camera to hide it, and leaving the display exposed on his belly like a Teletubby.
Hahaha I love it! Thanks for watching, Guillaume!
I didn't want to rant on this, but... I can't just say anything and move along. I really see a problem here. Home applications like Alexa are an innovative cancer (technologically useless, expensive in precious ore, principally used as a toy for adults, and is a spy that helps big companies to have a better grasp at your wallet), and you take that for "a friend". I'm not blaming you for living your best life, I'm blaming society for what it becomes, thanks to the perpetual hammering of the capitalist/globalist machine. Don't get me wrong I think the final look is amazing for a "80's punchline parrot", since I prefer when they don't actually look like real humans. Now from a philosophical standpoint, I get it why we want to create sentient beings (short answer : because we can!). But I will NEVER understand why we would want to create them human-like lol. We're not even trying to let these beings become their own species, naaaah they must limit to "our" perception of life. So egoistic (so "human", some would say). 😂👌 What's your point of view on the subject? I think if we're going to give life to another form, we MUST prepare to that properly, because we've never experienced anything of that sort before ; like we never shared our Earth (Solar System?) with another sentient being. You guys are better understanding that these sentient robots aren't "us", they'll most probably not consider themselves as one of us. They "may" become friends, but they'll have their own perception of live eventually due to the sum of their "biology". They'll have ambitions and needs to fulfill, new ideas probably, but oh boi, humanity must be prepared for if robots think that we're getting in their way.
wow, this is truly a great video. Amazed by the geniues behind.
Thanks for watching, Luis!
0:39 penis-like robot spotted
Is this what adult incels do with their free time?
Would be cool built small Step by step telephone exchange, because in Georgia still doesn't exist telephone exchange museum.
That’s a great idea, Beka!
@@ThomasBurns I'm looking for telephone lovers that do it together 🙂
Listen to Bayyinah tv to understand deeply about the Quran
Wall-E lmao
Id buy an amazon product spy device if it looked and acted just like this
Never wanted an Alexa until now
You are awesome. No more needs to be said. Thanks for this masterpiece
Thanks so much for watching!
Now stick some wheels on it and take it to a battle arena.
Hahaha no battle arena for this guy, but v2 will have wheels! Thanks for watching!
how's the project going?
In a garbage bin
"What is my purpose." "You pass butter." "Oh my god."
Brian
add wheels that you can move not the robot
it would be cool to put that on a boston dynamics robot dog
Welcome back! Moving across the world is no easy feat. Looking forward to more videos! Cheers.
