Viral footage shows what appear to be humanoid robots posing at a conference in Beijing. They’re actually human cosplayers.
Nobody was busted, this is a clickbait post. Even the article just says they hired 2 cosplayers as entertainers, company never pretended that they were robots.
That just sounds like slavery with the same number of steps
“Say the line, Adam!”
The line Adam!
Next one to tell me China is communist gets bitten.
This is pure western style VC AI technobro grift, well done China
china is socialist, not communist
What exactly is socialist about China?
China was communist when they went to a one-party system. Once you’re a one-party system, you’re whatever the one party wants you to be.
China was communist
Neither China nor any other country was ever communist according to what the actual definition of communism is (=self-rule of workers and farmers, overthrowing the ruling class). A dictatorship with a state-controlled economy isn’t communism. What China changed is to move from a centralized state-controlled economy to capitalism with privately owned enterprises with a right to veto for the government.
Considering how the one party became the one and only party, this isn’t really true. It wasn’t exactly “communal”, and Mao was no communist.
Slavery is cheaper than automation.
Well humans are pretty humanoid, even the mild mannered ones.
Never seen Zuckerberg or Musk, I take it?
Why are there so many weird fraud stories like this out of China?
Reminded me of this fake waterfall story from earlier this year.
Idk about “so many” other instances, but this post is clickbait. Company just hired 2 cosplayers for entertainment and didn’t claim they were robots. It’s no different from what Musk did for his robot reveal.
The hell did I just watch?!

Glad to know that about two and a half centuries after the invention of mechanical Turk, we are still at the same place.
More evidence of the hyper-futuristic tech China has in its everyday life.
Incredible. Literally. Not credible.
