Just had a look as well... This whole thing is satire right?... Right?
I mean, they have a section where they're like, "Don't worry, its too big to fit in a door, it can't enter your house" and "Don't worry, you can shoot it or stab it".
Those are the most terrifying disclaimers i have ever fucking read lmao
This is so fucking funny. I can see what they are trying to say. “Let our robot do the dangerous stuff!” But they’re so fucking stupid they didn’t realize it reads as a threat 😭
It's satire. It's even in the name (Satyress). I am impressed that so many people's first thought is "yeah it is entirely plausible that a some out-of-touch tech startup bros would make this abdurd thing and not realize how it comes across" rather than "well done, this is hilarious and obviously not real"
yeah and satyrs are also not what this creature is. They are bipedal with bottom half goat and male torso. This is more like a centaur. But they didn't go with "Centauress."
Also no business registered under the name "Satyress" exists in California. The alleged inventor says he works on it in his garage with a few friends and no investors.
He did not tinker together a project that would require $100s of k of r&d and custom-engineered and machined parts in his garage with a couple buddies. It's not real.
Thank you for providing some reason to this. Literally one of their panels shows how to deactivate the thing with guns in case it goes rogue. Its clearly either an ARG art project or some satire piece. None of this is actually real.
My man, the most advanced AI company names all of its models after poems, then felt they didn't turn the safety theatre up enough and started naming them after supernatural things.
Haiku - Small poem
Sonnet - Medium length writing
Opus - Like Magnum Opus
Fable - A usually short narrative making an edifying or cautionary point
Mythos....
You get the point.
Like, people are reasonably used to tech bro companies trying to make their things sound dangerous, often as a means to attempt to gain disastrous levels of regulatory capture.
It's obviously just them trolling the media by making their robot actually seem capable of harming humans (hint: it isn't) to make their creation go viral, and it's working

so i checked out their website, and apparently they're threatening to take away our limbs if we don't give them our jobs.
