Inspired by AI slop images, engineer Allen Pan (previously) decided to try building an aquarium toilet in real life. The result? A surprisingly functional aquarium toilet. If I’d tried building it? An unsurprisingly unfunctional aquarium toilet and $18K of water damage in the basement. BONUS AI slop beer boots made

This is allegedly a video of a tele-operated Optimus (Prime is insulted) humanoid robot from Tesla serving water bottles at an event when it appears to mimic the movements of the person operating it by taking off its invisible tele-operator headset, collapsing in the process.

Previously seen folding laundry, this is a video of a humanoid robot demonstrating its dexterity by autonomously loading a dishwasher. That’s cool, but I don’t really mind loading and unloading the dishwasher. The dishwasher really does all the heavy lifting as far as washing dishes is concerned. What I really

This is a timelapse video from Youtube channel Star Wars: Tales Untold imagining how a Death Star might be constructed, using the computer magic of Kling AI. Or, who knows, maybe many Bothans died to bring them the actual schematics. I zoomed and enhanced the whole video, and now I’m
