Because this is the internet, here’s a video of artist Pablo Rochat recreating the nearly bygone bouncing DVD logo in a hot pan with a block of carved butter. I can’t even remember the last time I watched a DVD, but it definitely wasn’t in the 2020’s. I know because

These are a couple clips of the latest iteration of the Jetson One personal electric VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicle. Apparently they’re happy enough with its current state that the company will begin delivering to customers later this year ($128,000 — no pilot’s license required in the US!). Exciting

This is a video highlighting the evolution of Boston Dynamics’ ATLAS humanoid robot over the past 40 years, including from before Boston Dynamics even existed and early legged robotic locomotion was being studied at MIT’s Leg Lab. It was actually pretty interesting to see the walking technology develop. Sometimes by

A step in the effort to allow machines to “emote and communicate in a more lifelike way,” a collaborative team of scientists from the University of Tokyo and Harvard University have covered a robotic face with living skin. “But I want to wear your face,” I imagine the robot telling

Developed by researchers at the University of Washington, these noise-cancelling headphones are able to cancel all outside noise except for a person’s voice through the power of AI. You just push a button on the side of the phones to train the AI on a person’s vocal patterns, and BOOM,

Presumably to present their robotic death army as less threatening than it actually is, this is a video of Sparkles, a Boston Dynamics Spot quadruped robot that the company has dressed up in sparkly blue fur so we can all pretend it’s Blue from Blue’s Clues and not the harbinger

These is a video from harbinger of robotic doom Boston Dynamics unveiling their new ATLAS humanoid robot, which appears significantly less boxy than its predecessor, and with almost all its joints able to rotate 360-degrees so it can move like the possessed girl in The Exorcist. That’s nice, that’s something

This is a short video demonstration of the energy return of a carbon plate running shoe (one with a carbon plate in the midsole designed to increase energy return with each step and reduce fatigue) versus a regular running shoe. That…was a drastic difference. Almost as good as flubber, but
