WATCH: Humanoid robot explodes before a half marathon in Beijing and the anti-clankers are loving it
At a Beijing half marathon trial this week, a humanoid robot went down hard right before the start line, broke apart into pieces, and completely shut down before it could take a single step. Crew members rushed in and hauled the thing off on a stretcher-like cart while it flailed around like a complete idiot. Incredible content.
Stupid Clanker Robot Can’t Run A Marathon.
We are anti-clanker here at The Liberty Line.
I’ve said this many times and I will keep saying it until people start listening. We have to stop with the robot stuff. Stop trying to make them run. Stop trying to make them dance. Stop trying to make them do backflips for tech conferences. That thing exploded into a million pieces in front of a live audience before the race even started. It didn’t make it to the starting line. It couldn’t even stand up long enough to fail at the actual task.
Here’s my bigger question that nobody in the tech world seems to want to answer.
Why are we out here trying to get these clankers to run half marathons when they can’t even do basic shit? How about we start with something useful.
Roll out a robot that does the dishes. A robot that folds laundry. A robot that mows the lawn and takes out the trash. Give me a clanker that handles manual labor around the house without catching fire or falling down the stairs.
Master the basics first. Then maybe, years from now, we can revisit the idea of a robot running 13 miles through the streets of Beijing but we’re not there. We’re not even close to there. We’re at the “exploding before the start line” phase of development and people want to act like the robot revolution is right around the corner.
Waymo is almost live in Philadelphia and nobody is talking about what happens next
The video is also a beautiful reminder to every human out there who has been feeling anxious about the inevitable AI and clanker takeover. That thing shattered into pieces and shut down before it moved a single foot.
Clankers are destructible. They are fragile. They are stupid. They can’t even stand up on a flat surface without imploding. If that’s what the robot army looks like right now, I think we’re going to be okay for a while.
Stay vigilant. Stay anti-clanker. And enjoy the video.

Fair points but I think this is a more of a lesson of why speed bumps are stupid. How many times do we all find ourselves trying to go somewhere and come across the annoying little hurdle? We should out-law them completely. Make the world safer for these soon to be helpful robots. Once they start misbehaving then we can talk about putting the speed bumps back.
