This Robot Dog Is As Good at Walking as I Am at Being a Robot Dog

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-10 20:00:34

Aren’t pets such a drag? I mean, really. They’re all furry, and cute, and innocent. And you have to feed them and love them, and respect their autonomy and basic needs. For what? Borderline unconditional love? Who’s got time for all that? Certainly not me. My job is computer, and I need efficiency—a practical companion that’s alive when I want it to be and shutting the f**k up when I need to have the TPS report filed by EOD so corporate can circle back on the EOY roadmap.

Every once in a while, a TV show comes out of nowhere and changes the very fabric of the medium. Off the top of my head, I can think of five: Twin Peaks, Lost, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. After Vince Gilligan's hit drug drama ended in 2013, I wondered what series would capture the cultural zeitgeist next. The answer came in the form of an edgy show about the internet, of all things.

Experts Say the Actual Value of Tesla's Stock Is a Ticking Time Bomb

If a recent rally in the company's share price is any indication, investors are buying Tesla CEO Elon Musk's vision of leaning into autonomous driving and a robotaxi service. The company's shares rose almost four percent on Wednesday, despite the company revealing that it had sold 14 percent fewer cars in Q2 of this year compared to the same period last year, the biggest drop in Tesla's history. Analysts were forecasting an even worse performance, indicating there's still plenty of enthusiasm.

Tesla Bros Are Begging Polymarket to Change the Rules So Elon Musk's Disastrous Robotaxi Launch Doesn't Lose Them a Ton of Money
