What is happening here? Is this bots talking to bots in the comments? What is this art? I'm so confused.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the Tesla "robot" showed off at an event that turned out to just be a guy in a suit on top of the other things already mentioned by others.

There's a paywall on that article

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Huh, I didn't get blocked, maybe cause of NoScript or my VPN

This is a webcomic / art relating to the FOSS world. OP is the artist and has tons of fucking amazing surreal comics like this. They all take place in a dystopian cyber world where corporate technology oppresses the free tech users

The commenters probably aren't bots, just tech nerds schizo posting

Okay yea I've seen some pretty decent stuff being posted here but never have any context lol

I could see schizo posting rather than bots.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

There's a bit more context in the full comics on the web site

This is the moment Elmo jumped the shark.

The sun is shocked, absolutely shocked, I say!

I have a slight suspicion that it actually enjoys violence.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Well it is known to emit radiation that messes with electronics. That must be very violent for our surreal friends!

The Thespian robot (and others) could mirror a human's movement 10 years ago. Even if Optimus is actually mechanical, the recent "interacting with a crowd" video makes it quite obvious there is no AI.

The original mechanical turk prank was better.

...also, if you were really engineering a machine that could mix different drinks it would just be a bunch of pumps and tubes to various ingredients.
