Russia's tech capabilities will continue to deteriorate and they'll produce cheap borderline counterfeit knock-offs, prone to error, with the way their state is headed. Some sectors are already in crisis or sounding the alarm bells. The regime wanted a return of the society's "glory days"? Well, they got what they asked for.

Not so sure the ordinary upstanding Russians will like it though.

They have to fall before they can learn to dance.

That one video perfectly sums up modern Russia, they even fucked up trying to hide it with the curtain as they dragged its useless ass back to the vodka station

 

[Hookshot]

Wasn't Russia making it's own game console at one point? Not heard anything about it if they did.

I'm very sceptical about that Xpeng robot. They only cut open the leg portion. Could still have a real human under there. Show the whole thing without the skin and I'll be convinced. Sorry, but China has too much of a history of faking shit for me to be convinced.

The Xpeng robot is real but the demo is very disingenuous. Their robot currently can't do much of anything on its own other than walk, almost every task shown in the demo was tele-operated, meaning a person was remote controlling the robot doing tasks. If (when?) they improve their software the robot should be able to do things on its own, someday. And who knows how manufacture friendly their design is too, that thing could be a nightmare to produce at any scale.



As for the Russian robot demo.....

Are you seriously bringing this up as something to be proud about? I'm sure a lot of Russians are good ordinarily folks, but the current regime crack down on free speech in a way I don't think you understand. I don't think you would much like it in Moscow.

Honestly, Russia is being very, very strong, and so is China.

 

[Atrus]

What I will say is that Russia is being very, very strong, and so is China.

Are you Russian or come from a post-Soviet country? Unless you're joking, only someone extremely deluded or just high on Russian propaganda would see strength in Russia.

It's a developing country that's a declining power with a very bleak future thanks to significant amounts of repression and corruption.

Pretty funny Russia used the Rocky theme for this!

The curtain twisting at the end is the cherry on top.

I know that murderbot.

Well, believe it or not, and despite the jokes, China is already growing into the most powerful nation in the world... And Russia is on its way there too.

I'm happy about it; I've met Russians, and they're decent and friendly. And I think they'll both soon be world leaders.

Their economy is growing. And the robot thing... Well, their progress is interesting.

There have always been jokes and envy about other countries... I remember in Sabrina the Teenage Witch there was an episode where they made fun of Prague... Making the viewer believe it was a farm... When in reality it's on another level.

Mate you need to stop binging on the Russian koolaid before you lose what little IQ you have left, those takes if not sarcasm are beyond idiotic, I mean we're talking flat earth levels here

People forget that Rocky lost.

'I've fallen and I can't get up!'

Don't let this happen to your loved one, call Life Alert today. For a small monthly fee, they can have the safety and security that they won't be laying on the floor alone and afraid for very long.
