“ #Americans had always #racialized #robot like creations,” continues Abnet, citing the first #American automaton (a caricature of a Native American) and the “grotesque minstrel-like caricatures of Black and Asian bodies” that made up #automatons in the late nineteenth century.”

Dear Friends of #Sport #Robots, 🤖
As you may know, the Oilympics is once again upon us. Who looks forward to competing against robots? At the moment they are little more than #raining aids BUT in the future... World Team v team AI Robot. No cyborgs for near future? :ablobcatpopcorn:
Here are some events I would like to see in Robot Olympics (Robot v Robot):
- Reverse #Jousting (starting with no weapons but moving up through the range to lances) Robot quadrupeds and flying robots allowed? Swarms? mmm... maybe.
- #Synchronised high-diving (preferably from #space). No re-entry slow down devices allowed? That should separate the #automatons from the #unassimilated #Borg.
- #Decathlon with a greatly varied robot-diversity #itinerary
Yep. We don't yet have robots suitable? How soon? :blobcatthx: -
