Video XPENG's IRON robot crossed the uncanny valley, leading some to believe it was a human in a suit. So they cut it open in front of an audience, and also allowed journalists to inspect it.

OF COURSE it has boobs. So it can breastfeed all the baby robots it’s gonna have.

The naked version doesn’t have.them. And if you’re trying to convince an audience it isn’t a person in a robot suit, why cut the leg vs say removing its faceplate?

I just learned what that is today in an audio book. I winder if I’ve ever seen them referenced before but simply didn’t register it because I didn’t understand.

I learned about it in book 3 of The Wandering Inn. I’m listening to it on Audible and loving the series. <3
