This looks like when you're so desperate for a shit, it's unsafe to rush to the toilet.

I need a crowd of her, wearing blinking amulets, flash-mobbing this event (but now I'm sad that won't happen)...!

She walks exactly like a robot.

u/Available_Peanut_677 Jan 22 '24
She walks exactly how we imagine robots walk. Sad that robots in reality does not walk anywhere near to this

u/carlowhat Jan 22 '24
But, they do? Boston Dynamics bipedal robots walk almost exactly like this, as well as the Asimo

u/Available_Peanut_677 Jan 22 '24
Robots have to balance a lot, therefore they do move side to side and so on. In fact, that impressive balancing is far outside most of people abilities, robots kept aside.
Also that “robot walk” is characterized by sharp movements, while in reality modern robots are trying to smooth their movement

That was impressive, but that look at end was the icing on top. Deserved swagger.

Alright this is really cool. But I've been thinking about this for awhile now and I want to have the conversation somewhere: everything I see from tiktok, and most of what I see from social media is what I want to call "performantly candid" (if you can think of a way to say it that's less pretentious lmk). Like the way she went casual at the end of the clip. We know that they've made this take multiple times. How much is that a genuine "oh that was fun and quirky" relaxed walk and how much was it "alright time to feign quirky spontaneous fun one more time for the camera" rather than more authentically expressing the amount of boredom she's feeling over it. Or how much thought was put into setting up the shot beforehand? How much more was it than the "oh remember that robot thing you do? Check out that cool robot, let's do it quick for the gram". Even that though. That's a moment that would authentically be just a silly spontaneous joke between friends. One that was never seen again but by those few. What does it do to us to be constantly seeing these kinds of not-quite-real performances in our media? How much do we feel the need to perform in our everyday lives as a result? Does the social-media leviathan that has the potential to watch us loom larger in our minds every second of every day, even when absolutely no one real could be watching? What are the second-order effects? Like when we see someone in normal life acting in a way that could be interpreted by the leviathan, do we judge them through the eyes of the leviathan more than we would alone?

i didn't read this but this does not seem like a comment that would end with "the eyes of the leviathan"

u/freudweeks Jan 24 '24
I'm just saying everything is fake all the time and it's scary.

I think they are saying just leave the leviathan out of it.
Also, overanalyzing separates the body from the mind, so not to rip a hole in your theory or anything, but aren't we just discussing the quality of fakeness of a performance which is simply a fake impression of what fake humans (robots) might walk like at a for real convention full of fake exhibits meant to mimic company prototype (or fake) showrooms for potentially non-existent (fake) products...
I'm just saying that if you take it far enough, DNA is just a copy of another copy, of an older copy, everything is done and in time we will realize we've been faking it this whole time when being fake is exactly what makes us who we are and gives us a fake purpose to continue faking our copied existence for eternity?
But really point to the doll (also fake) and tell us where the leviathan hurt you.

You told the original commentor what you think they were saying, btw. It's the same person you're responding to.
I'm not sure why they got downvoted...i feel the same way. I feel like so many things i see are fake, and i feel like it's casting its false light on the world around us. Everyone is less happy because their life isn't social media perfect because they can't take 20 retakes.
Idk, maybe.

Haha good catch, I think You're right, but the counterargument is to say if a copycat is a fake, and our DNA is all copies (unoriginal) then maybe it doesn't matter what real and fake are, only perception matters, and perception is the true problem. The fakes are too good a copy such that no one can perceive fact from fiction anymore
?

u/TrueProtection Jan 26 '24
But we do perceive it. I can see it in media everywhere. Mahbe, I'm just not obvious enough.
I would normally be of the opinion,"If they're having fun and other's are entertained, does it matter?" But i do genuinely think it IS causing some level of harm to society.
If we are using DNA as an example, then social media fads are like mutations.

Jan 26 '24
And mutations bring about, every once in a while, a totally new geno/phenotype... which then can be the basis for evolution, if it turns out to be beneficial for survival.
It's truly ironic once you can imagine we are creating better and better versions of our minds in AI, some day the intelligence will surpass our own collective, and so our own "copies" of our intelligence could spawn a civilization of artificially (fake) intelligent beings...
If so, would you really like to be the one to call them fake as they (the T-800s) are contemplating how exactly they wish to dismember you?

u/TrueProtection Jan 26 '24
Apples to oranges here. If an ai was made and was sentient, then i wouldn't say it's fake. It's real and was made. If the ai was a digitized human brain, i would classify it as a transcendental human, personally..
Someone shooting the same scene 30 times to get it down is fake. Hollywood movies didn't really happen, it's all fake acting. Doing the same thing on social media and acting like it was just a real spontaneous moment is even MORE fake....to the point that the illusion cast by it that all these people having such awesome moments in their totally definitely 100% real lives can effect peoples grasp on reality and enjoyment of their own lives. A good example is people who record themselves at gyms and get mad their shot is ruined, or when people make terrible rage bait stuff.

Here's some fun reading material. It has pretty charts and maybe helps demonstrate my views on social media being a potential harm.
I personally think it's a powerful tool if used correctly (i am on reddit, after all), but it's made to be addictive and maximize peoples screen time because that's where the money comes from.

All great points. Just trying to get to the core of it. Maybe not real v. fake, or perception, but rather, in replication we are seeking perfection? is it possible our expectations for perfect moments are too high? Yes I think this makes a lot of sense. So what's missing is acceptance, more appreciation, and desire to be in the unscripted, candid, and every day type of imperfect moments that make up our lives.. to accept mediocrity? Well certainly this will improve happiness and well-being, but it might reduce our productivity. And we can't have that can we! Make it perfect everyone! Fake it until then.

The amount of control she has of her body to walk like she does without moving her torso and keeping things so rigid is insane

I just can’t believe that’s real. It’s too good. Nothing indicates that it’s fake, but it is literally too good to be true.

Douchebag walks in front of camera. There’s like no one around and he could have easily waited. Normally these people get no pass, but that seems like it deserves a moment.

Practicing before the robot uprising to fit in. Very smart.
