Because yellow tape means nothing to a robot, this is a video of a Serve autonomous food delivery bot casually entering a cordoned off crime scene in Los Angeles to deliver its food payload. I guess Serve forgot to include some police protocol programming for the robot. Obviously, it’s only

This is a video documenting launch day of the iMac at a CompUSA store in Alexandria, Virginia on August 15, 1998 — just over 24 years ago. The interviews with the Apple reps and customers are great. As my mom would say, it’s a real hoot. I remember when I

This is a video of a Tesla in full self-driving mode plowing through a mannequin child (complete with reflective vest) in a crosswalk at 24MPH, the car never identifying the object at all. Apparently Tesla has demanded The Dawn Project (who created the video) cease-and-desist, although I’m not sure on

Because it’s important to be able to differentiate a robot’s smile from a sneer, this is a video of Engineered Arts’ Ameca robot (previously) demonstrating its numerous facial expressions in a mirror.

This is a video of if-not-already then soon-to-be government watchlister QUINT Builds constructing and demonstrating his knife throwing gun.

This is a video from Youtuber Animagraffs detailing what every button, switch, knob, screen, lever, and control device in a modern airliner cockpit does. SPOILER: nothing, they’re all just for show and were specifically designed to convince passengers that airplanes are flown via complex technology and not the fact there’s

In bad idea news, this is a video of engineer Allen Pan building robotic legs so a snake can experience every snake’s lifelong dream of walking. Should we be giving snakes robotic legs? Of course not, but that’s not going to stop somebody from doing it for the Youtube views,

This is a video demonstration of an onion cutting and peeling machine that automatically orients onions to horizontally cut their tops and bottoms off, then rips their paper skins off with a blast of high pressure air. How about that! And here I thought onions were all peeled by hand
