A concerning amount of that product page is spent explaining how it has to slow down to pass through doorways, its inability to turn around in hallways, and its weak points you can use to disable one with a knife or gunshot. I feel like I'm reading a tutorial for how to defeat a tricky enemy in a video game.

that's a forward thinking robotics company right there. putting in weakspots for when the centaur robot revolution begins. so we have a chance.

Unless those weak spots are quietly addressed by a Field Service Bulletin, just before the revolution kicks off.

Maybe it’s satyr.

Satyr Nadella?

Ah yes. The reverse centaur position for AI/human intercourse.

yeah, I can't really tell whether that whole thing was serious or satirizing something.

And i thought it was about those polo shirts and replicas of the horse logo on the “fake” t-shirts.

Me too, I guess I don’t think of “replica” and “clone” as synonymous in the context of animals.

Seems like a carefully chosen term, maybe clone being too controversial.

I think replicant would be a fun term though. :)

That'd be alot more ethical than the current horse racing industry if it were the case.

Humans riding racing robots id watch, but not horse racing.
