Boring: China held matches with four teams of ‘humanoid robots’ playing soccer and it was absolutely embarrassing

Humanoid Robots Playing Soccer? Please. Hey, if you’re wondering who’s the No. 1 world power, make sure you bump China way down on the list since they have been wasting all of their time and technology on building humanoid robots to play soccer.

Boring: China held an event featuring four teams of ‘humanoid robots’ playing soccer and it was absolutely embarrassing

Four teams of humanoid robots in Beijing faced off in fully autonomous soccer matches powered entirely by artificial intelligence in what was touted as a first in China. Read more: https://t.co/feI1ZrLLHX pic.twitter.com/RgBTKEbwOP

What you are seeing now at the World Robot Soccer Competition is Booster T1 – Tsinghua Vulcan leads 4:0 🦾🤖🦿⚽️

This humanoid robot can kick, dribble, plan, make decisions, cooperate and shoot completely autonomously. pic.twitter.com/FKn4BkzgiA

Look, I’m all for advancing technology but this has to be the dumbest shit ever. Look at these dumb little robots moving slower than new born children. These have to be the dumbest robots ever.

Are we really supposed to believe that robot technology from China is going to take over the world and end human civilization while these things are getting carted off the field…playing soccer? As if soccer wasn’t bad enough, robots can’t even handle it.

Give me a fucking break, man

Is this what China is doing with their technology?

I can’t believe anyone would actually pay to watch this shit. Seems like a gigantic waste of time and effort to even construct such meaningless things. 

Lets get a wellness check on China. The only stuff coming out of there is videos of Hunter Biden smoking crack with a bunch of children, shitty robot soccer matches, and dumb cold-like viruses COVID-19.

You know it’s bad when you can’t even tell which one has been the worse outcome, right? Kidding, obviously Hunter Biden smoking crack is the worst option but don’t tell that to a certain political party, they might think it’s the robot soccer players since they completely overlooked those incriminating videos.

Anyways, we’re getting off topic here. Back to China and humanoid robots

Building robots to compete in shitty soccer matches? I’ve never been less impressed with a country in my life. This actually drops them down to North “We’ll throw rockets at you” Korea levels of trash. 

Go check out one of Elon Musk’s robots or anything happening at MIT.

You think they are building robots to play in meaningless, boring soccer matches?

Highly doubt that. Sure, they make them fun and silly and completely ignore the real and dangerous threats surrounding AI technology and the eventual Human-Robot Hybrid species that the top 1% of the richest people are quietly building towards, but at the very least, they aren’t here whoring out their tech to make a few kids laugh. 

“The future of sports is here!” 

Yeah right. The only comments under that video saying dumb shit like that are literally automated bots. Color me surprised. 

This is what happens when the nerds try to get involved with sports. Historic, Anchor Bot? Unlikely. As you’ve read above, it’s honestly embarrassing. There’s nothing incredible or exciting about this shit and really, the only one celebrating it is…shocker…other robots.

Here’s an idea…go outside.

Can tech nerds get back to doing tech stuff? Go make a new video game that’s worth playing, maybe? I don’t know, nor do I care. I would much rather leave the sports stuff to actual people who play sports.

No one is ever going to watch this shit. Zero emotion. Zero heart. Bad product. Shame on anyone saying otherwise.
