Because the robot apocalypse can’t come soon enough, these are several videos (one from Fort Pierce, Florida, three from the East River in New York City — slide the slider on the first Instagram video to see the second) of people walking Boston Dynamics’ Spot robotic dog on leashes. Obviously,

In don’t you know staring isn’t polite news, this is a video demonstration of a humanoid robot being developed by Disney Research with the intention of building a robot with as life-like a human gaze as possible. Did they succeed? No clue, it’s so disturbing that I really have a
