The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: OK Go's "#Love" music video took 36 attempts to capture in a single take. They turned a Budapest train station into a hall of 63 mirrors manipulated by robot arms programmed to move with 0.01-degree precision. 🦾🪞

The whole setup spans about 100 meters, with each robot performing movements that synchronize with the #music. BTW they instantly stop if they detect contact with anything – like the hundreds of sharp edges careening around a person's head!

At some point, when does a robot stop being a robot and turn into a biomechanoid? And when does a biomechanoid turn into a synthetic human? Where does AI kick in? There has to be a continuum on this stuff.

Book Review: Great Robots of History by Tim Major

shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/04/book-

This is a lovely and twisted anthology of stories. Each presents a "historic" robot - be they an automaton, a puppet given life by the gods, or a resurrected villager. Some, like the Mechanical Turk, are historical fact but others are invented just for us to gawk at.

The stories are mostly dark and brooding, with the macabre turn. They're fun - but the constant theme is "what if I, an intelligent person, got trapped in the brain of a dullard?" Robots who are self-aware of their limitations reveal to us how terrifying dementia must be.

We meet robots who are reassured that they are without sin, and those which long to sin. Perhaps malicious dæmons reside in their programming just as bugs reside in our souls?

A fine collection.
