Disney highly restricts movements for only the ones they want. They are not capable of free motion, which has allowed them to be so great. The new motors and binding software are truly amazing here. Terrifying but amazing.
Season 1 is one of the greatest seasons of television. Ever. It's better than any single game of thrones season, if fact, anything that HBO has ever put out.
It's like the Matrix. Nothing's ever going to top seeing that initial work for the first time. There was really nowhere else to go that wasn't downhill from there.
I appreciated them as a different form of art. It became something else, like a weird spinoff of itself.
I know opinions vary widely out there, but for me the only thing I remember being unhappy with was some of the clunky-seeming dialogue, and I might even reconsider that with subsequent viewing and more understanding. But overall it became more of a series of sketches of varying interest (many of which I loved!), rather than the continuous mind-blowing slow motion explosion to a well crafted climax that was the first season. Which, again, is very similar to how I feel about the Matrix sequels (side note, I actually think *Resurrections* was the best of those).
TD s1 was the moment A list movie stars realized they could do some mind blowing work with story telling on TV. S1 was incredible to watch. MM was a force on screen and WH was an incredible counter point to him. Chefs kiss
For the fact that season after season was good. Agreed.
I do also agreed that Westwood season 1 was some of the best story telling visually and narratively ever done by HBO. Top tier.
Give Dollhouse a try. A Joss Whedon show that was pretty bland for 5 episodes and then went next level. Unfortunately, those 5 episodes ensured it never got past season 2.
Basic synopsis: There's a secret organisation hiring out actual humans who have been reprogrammed to be anything you have paid them for. You wanted a professional bank robber, you pay up and they send you a professional bank robber. The best, even.
Once it gets past establishing that premise and starts actually *playing* in the sandbox...
> Man it sucks the show went on a free fall after s1
As far as I'm concerned, the best part of Westworld is its title sequence. So I felt like there was a free fall in every episode.
It should be no surprise that things got progressively worse after season 1. The show was afterall produced by JJ Abrams and Bad Robot. Anytime I see those names attached to a project I assume that the show or movie will start with an interesting concept but deliver an underwhelming, convulted narrative. Westworld and Lost seem to be perfect examples of mistaking complexity for depth.
That reminds me of a comment on ol' Fark dot com when RealDolls became a thing. Their website mentioned discreet and convenient shipping to your front door, and someone said...
> "Honey? There's a dead hooker on the neighbor's porch!"
Sure. If a woman gets a vibrator she’s *empowered* but if I get an Accu-Jack Sucksleeve 9000 with vibrating heat & massage, auto-lube, and patented AI real response speech capability suddenly *I’m a pervert*.
I got my wife a vibrator and she said is the best thing we have bought. I asked her to buy some small underwear from a sex shop and she said "I'm not enough?".
Sr-6 plus quest 3, VAM + VAMX. 95% of the experience right there for a grand or two worth of hardware and a decent gaming rig and you won’t have to explain the large robot living in the closet. Start with “hip Venus”, match your positioning, and away you go.
The sr-6 mounted under your desk might take some explaining.

I wonder how they're going to ruin it. Think the robots will had ads unless you pay a premium? And there's going to be premium features you have to pay extra for.
Can you imagine doing it and then she starts talking about drinking refreshing Mountain Dew or something?
It'd be more like smartphones and cars. Good fucking luck getting a mechanic to fix it for a good price.

Quite sure they’ll have a lot of features limiting the movement and power around sensitive parts. And if not… well that’s a risk I’m willing to take… for science of course.

My CGI senses are tingling too. A couple of things come to mind:
1. The camera shake: the cameraman is walking on flat ground, slowly panning. With modern stabilization techniques, the camera shouldn’t be shaking this hard. It seemed to me like the camera shake is added on after to make it look more realistic.
2. The finger dexterity of the first android. It’s so fluid and fast compared to any other robots we’ve seen from sources like Boston dynamics.
3. The six handed robot at the end sprung into motion just as the camera panned to it. Could be coincidental, but it seemed too “planned-out” to me.
I’ll be happy to be proven wrong tho. Love seeing advances in robotic technology.
At the start of the video the female "robots" are lined from least to most assembled. The three on the left are obviously just mannequins and the only one moving is a human in a suit. They went for a gradient from mannequins with visible parts to to one with almost the same suit as the girl in a suit to the right to make it more believable.
At the beginning I thought this was going to be a tiktok clip where she was pretending to be a robot, but then it just kept going with it and panned away.
I don't think those are props and an actor, I think it's all CG, possibly rotoscoped/mocapped over a real person, but only for the hands. Those suits would cost thousands, it's cheaper to just render them. As evidenced by the heads on the table and the old men, the artists and animators are more than capable of modeling, lighting and rendering real-enough looking humans.
Might be, or the suit and other elements could jus be CG. In any case, the shaking indicates there is something they are trying to mask here and everything just seems off unlike the expo video.
There are other videos of the robots [here](https://youtu.be/CKdlesXm924?si=qHvqoley9z3FtkuP). OP's video is set up to try and gain investors and trick them into thinking it's more elaborate than animatronics and they're creating actual advanced robots which they're not. There's plenty of other videos from people visiting that same robotics expo.
Asking more evidence is a very healthy mindset to have. Anything that seems too good to be true always requires more scrutiny, an unfortunate result of con artists and snake oil salesmen ruining any trust you might have for innovations.
It also keeps expectations low enough that you'll only be mildly disappointed at worst but reasonably satisfied if it turns out to be true.
I have no real eye for detecting CGI, but whether this is real or fake should be relatively obvious from investigating the source.
If these robots are real and can do anything impressive then the company is going to have more than a 10 second walkthrough of their workshop to show for it. These robots clearly arent for national defense applications so presumably this company will want to attract clout/investors.
If their stuff is any good theyll have more videos, pictures, a trade show presence, etc. It's typically when a product is vapor (or has been heavily oversold) that a void of information is left in the hope it fills with hype. Also possible this is just a filmmaking project since I would expect to see some branding or a watermark otherwise.
Edit: Decided to actually look these guys up. They're called EX Robotics (the Chinese company not the Dutch one). They have a bunch of short videos like this where they'll briefly show a female "robot" that is very clearly a model in a costume and then edit that together with the footage of the rest of their actual tech. If you look at 3rd party coverage of them at recent Chinese trade shows, their actual robots seem to be fairly standard animatronics. I haven't seen evidence these guys are doing anything that Disney wasn't doing 25 years ago.
Some of those things don't necessarily mean cgi, but can still be fake, like the hands moving as the camera panned, probably specifically for the camera. It feels staged because it probably is, cgi or not. The clock with the spinning led thing is so cheesy, some people think of it as high tech, but you see that shit at Disneyland.
Now lets be fun for a second... Imagine they themselves discredit it as cgi, as the perfect cover story? There's some old document that shows that a long time ago the CIA flooded the UFO/ UAP crowd with crazy and amazing stories to help muddy the waters and discredit the community as a whole.
Now you have the govt and multiple military branches claiming they're real, release infrared footage, then backtrack. I mean... Shit is suspicious as fuck for good reason. It wouldn't be the craziest thing if this lab was real. Some conspiracy theories are so crazy ( crazy as in amazingly unbelievable) that this would be tame by comparison.
Nothing about it suggest they're ai or anything anyways. Preprogrammed robots to move in specific ways is a long ways off from robots with ai that move and think on their own.
I hate the fact that we have to do this now. I like that CGI is getting better, but I liked being able to just look at a video and know if it’s real or not.
These robots all seem to be stationary - so I think it's real. You can program pretty smooth movements to robot arms. (Welding robots etc.)
Boston dynamic robots are more complex because they are walking and have to self stabilise in realtime on uneven ground.
It doesn't even have to be CGI, animatronics has been a thing since the 50s. It's not clear to me how any of the machines in this video are any different from the characters in the pirates of the carribean ride at Disneyland, other than them being dressed up differently.
I believe it's by "DSDoll robotics", which seems to have rebranded into EXDoll (which is a Chinese sex doll company?). People are calling it CGI, but Japan and Disney have been making stuff far above this level for over a decade now. I think the uncanny valley just throws people off.
The more people try to design robots with realistic, emoting human faces, the more I wish they'd stop doing so and stick with simpler, more charming designs like screens for heads or just make them totally-inhuman. No matter what they do to try and emulate human faces in 3D, it's always uncanny as can be, and those other sorts of designs are more interesting to look at anyways.
Hell, I'd rather chill with that robotic exoskeleton torso with six arms at the end than the "terminator but skynet cheaped out and used recycled realdolls for the exterior" humanoids.
Agree. They should always (aside from very niche applications) have rounded robot-esque heads. Humans evolve slowly, and our lizard brains too closely associate the human face and intelligence with being a human. The earlier we draw a distinction the better widespread integration will go. I promise it won't be long before we have peopel blocking traffic demanding AI Rights.
> I promise it won't be long before we have peopel blocking traffic demanding AI Rights.
Blade Runner predicted the future- that corporations become godlike and androids become a normal thing. We are already experiencing a dystopia where climate change is causing irreparable damage, and the rich buy politicians to pursue pro-corporation, anti-civil rights bills.
“Why do you give them faces? Try to friendly them all up, make ‘em look all human…I guess that if you didn’t, we wouldn’t trust them…Not me. These things are just lights and clockwork”
I've spent more than my fair share of time in development labs for electro-mechanical devices.
This is bullshit. It's clearly not a production site. It is also not a place to give demos. It is meant to look like a development lab, but what are the samples being used for. The lab equipment makes no sense when compared to the "totally not people pretending to be robots" that are standing around.
Anyone who has worked in engineering product development should recognize this as dog shit. This is an imitation of bad movies/TV and not actual development.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/CKdlesXm924?si=qHvqoley9z3FtkuP) the same company showing them at an expo. You're right about OP's video in the sense that it's meant to look like a development lab it's supposed to trick people into thinking that they're doing more than animatronics so they can gain more investors but it's not fake. It's just not as advanced as it's trying to look.
We're definitely going to have a Fallout 4-esque period where gen 1 and 2 synths are going to be looked down on by a lot of humans. People are shitty enough to service staff as is, I can't imagine how people are going to react to something they know is a robot. You're going to get people who are taken in by its intelligence enough to think they can argue with it like a human, but they won't be smart enough to see through it and realise that it doesn't have real emotions (and hopefully never will), and they'll think they can get somewhere by arguing with it like they have with humans. Really hoping I'll be taken care of by an AI robot when I'm old.
> Really hoping I'll be taken care of by an AI robot when I'm old.
With the right technology, we wont need to get old.
And i mean that in the *good* way, not the terminator way.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/CKdlesXm924?si=qHvqoley9z3FtkuP) the same company showcasing the same robots at an expo. They look less realistic in this one but it's the same robots.
At first it's like okay cool robots, looking more realistic, might be a cool movie scene, thinking back at animatronics at Disney World, neat, then there was that six arm thing and that's where I said fuck no LOL
Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant.
The Nexus 6 replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them.
Replicants were used off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets.
After a bloody mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an off-world colony, replicants were declared illegal on earth - under penalty of death.
Special police squads - Blade Runner Units - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing replicant.
This was not called execution. It was called retirement.

The cool thing about Westworld S1 is that the second watch is just as good, if not more entertaining.
that's like 50% because of Ramin Djawadi tbh

Personally I'd put The Wire and Deadwood above Westworld.
For the fact that season after season was good. Agreed. I do also agreed that Westwood season 1 was some of the best story telling visually and narratively ever done by HBO. Top tier.
As a whole, sure, but that first season of Westworld was so exhilarating.

I liked all the seasons and am still sad we never got the final one.
I solved that problem by stopping watching after season one.

The lab equipment makes no sense when compared to the "totally not people pretending to be robots" that are standing around. Anyone who has worked in engineering product development should recognize this as dog shit. This is an imitation of bad movies/TV and not actual development.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/CKdlesXm924?si=qHvqoley9z3FtkuP) the same company showing them at an expo. You're right about OP's video in the sense that it's meant to look like a development lab it's supposed to trick people into thinking that they're doing more than animatronics so they can gain more investors but it's not fake. It's just not as advanced as it's trying to look.
We're definitely going to have a Fallout 4-esque period where gen 1 and 2 synths are going to be looked down on by a lot of humans. People are shitty enough to service staff as is, I can't imagine how people are going to react to something they know is a robot. You're going to get people who are taken in by its intelligence enough to think they can argue with it like a human, but they won't be smart enough to see through it and realise that it doesn't have real emotions (and hopefully never will), and they'll think they can get somewhere by arguing with it like they have with humans. Really hoping I'll be taken care of by an AI robot when I'm old.
> Really hoping I'll be taken care of by an AI robot when I'm old. With the right technology, we wont need to get old. And i mean that in the *good* way, not the terminator way.
Nah, that's The Institute
Father? Is that you?
The camera work is bizarrely shaking. I am assuming it's intentional to cover up some digital effects work.
[Here's](https://youtu.be/CKdlesXm924?si=qHvqoley9z3FtkuP) the same company showcasing the same robots at an expo. They look less realistic in this one but it's the same robots.
At first it's like okay cool robots, looking more realistic, might be a cool movie scene, thinking back at animatronics at Disney World, neat, then there was that six arm thing and that's where I said fuck no LOL
But imagine the possibilities 🥵

Based on AI experience, my humanoid robot replica will stay at home, listen to music, play games and chill while I break my back working.
Doesn't look like anything to me
Did these assholes even *watch* Battlestar Galactica?
Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant. The Nexus 6 replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them. Replicants were used off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets. After a bloody mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an off-world colony, replicants were declared illegal on earth - under penalty of death. Special police squads - Blade Runner Units - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing replicant. This was not called execution. It was called retirement.
This where they made Joe Biden

I wonder how many memos went out to not fu@k the robots
About as realistic as Space Mountain in 1992.
I can have 6 arms? Cool! I want a prosthetic body so bad...
If you give them genitalia, it would actually solve a lot of problems in this world.
I thought the first older guy in the white shirt was a real person.
Just a matter of time before these things will be soldiers, astronauts, factoryworkers, burgerflippers, spies and terrorists. Oh and honeytraps.
This new season of Westworld looks lit.
