My robot double sells out (so I don't have to)

Don't worry, the robot double has been fully decommissioned. It is absolutely not writing this comment instead of actual Tom.

Only problem is real Tom moves and gestures around so much.

I think I speak for all of us when I say: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Shoutout to anyone who did see movie T.I.M.

I mean its no a100e or a1000 figure from Walt Disney Imagineering but it is cool

I just fell into the uncanny valley.
It's Tom on heroin having a stroke.

Tom Scott please do a video about a company whose robots don't look anything like life forms. Why should we assume that the best possible creature with two arms and two legs will be the best possible creature for some job? Given the role that chance plays in evolution, couldn't there be SOME likelihood that that, say, the best surgeon wouldn't be one that stands on two legs but would be one that is bolted to the ceiling and has 10 hands? I think we limit ourselves when we try to take Nature's designs and improve upon them. What if humans COULD have evolved to have eight limbs instead of retaining the four that the quadruped lineage limits us to?

Terminater movie i remember

Did it have a stroke half way through?

One thing that is kinda an issue that I don’t see other people here mentioning, is that it doesn’t look wet enough to be a human. The corners of the eyes in particular look artificial.

Loved the shut-down.

Lip-syncing issues should not be in real life, but they are.

jonny razer arg prequel

amazing but still .... the same dead giveaway mini movements, mostly the jaw, that ye old Sarcos/ Disney animatronics had when they started doing the presidents. Still, amazing

the robots are SO creepy

I'm most curious about Amica's facial expressions. She's got a lot of range but there's still something missing. Google says there are 43 muscles in a human face. Wonder how many of them they are mimicking and which ones are still missing

I remember a sign that i saw yesterday: “Do NOT fist android girls”

What was that ending help

this what game theory thinks every fnaf character is

It looks drunk

The tom scott gets a bit querky at night.

Imagine being there at night

Bro This is the start of Detroit Become Human

It seems kind of like a Sims character...

Synth

looks are not important
thats not the point

It's a hyper realistic latex puppet, reminiscent of wax museums I visited as a child 40 years ago, being animated in a few limited motions by motors. Literally no further beyond technology from the 1970s. People see what they want to see, something else that hasn't changed in so many decades either. At least then we didn't havre to wade through clickbait.

Love the robot. HATE!!! it is combined with advertisement. This "in video" advertising must stop.

I think 99% of everyone else who saw a robotoic doppelganger of themselves would immediately scream their lungs out & bash it with a sledgehammer. I know I would.

looks kinda like someone who had a face transplant. like the skin is completely connected to the muscles/bone

EWW the way it woke up at the very end ☄️

I can see that it's a robot. How do I know that? It's the eyes, they don't lie. Well, actually it's because the eyelids are not flush with the underlying eyeballs. I presume this is because the eyeballs are made of marble and thus not lubricated that the eyelids can't make contact with them. This leaves a noticeable gap between the eyelids and the eyeballs, a sure sign of robotic origin.

This seems highly unethical

it looks like its mid stroke.

How old r u

They make for Disneyland?

Okay I know if robot dominate the earth all robots be too realistic like t-1000 t-800

RoboTom

Why are people who make robots so obsessed with making them human when they could make them look like R2D2

You just got copy pasted, moving on..

Creepy.

The pokes were for you're safety lemmings You are loved and needed 3@$_

Reminds me of g mod characters and movement psychics

nope

Is it really necessary to make a robot that has facial expressions when it's just a mechanical marvel made to do a job.....only Humans have facial expressions because they're full of nerve endings that make the flesh move involuntarily......Humans also wave their arms and hands around when they talk because that is an extension to their communicating ability.........making robots too human like is a waste of time as they do not have emotional aspects to reinforce what they are saying.

The robot really wasn’t that convincing, but the sketch was phenomenal :)

Hilarious!
