So this is where humanoid robotics is headed.
A perfectly good robot, wrapped in gold, so rich people can display it like a trophy.
It doesn’t solve problems.
It doesn’t do anything new.
It just proves that money and usefulness are not the same thing.

Powered by Gemini? 😇
DoorDash is testing its first autonomous delivery robot, Dot, on real streets and sidewalks in Phoenix. All electric, sensor packed, carries 30 pounds, and delivers without asking for a tip.
Watch the video. Is this real progress or about to meet a kerb, a dog, or chaos?
Full breakdown and video here. Curious where others think the real line is. When does this stop being impressive and start being a problem? newsgab.com/will-smith-s...
If you want a simple visual timeline of AI progress, forget the hype decks and white papers. Just watch the spaghetti! 🍝😄
This is not about celebrity or memes. It is about how quickly generative video crossed the line from broken to believable.
That shift matters. It marks the move from obviously synthetic video to plausibly real footage. From joke to scrutiny.
The most important reaction is hesitation. Not “this is fake”, but “hang on… is it?”
Fast forward to now and a new version is circulating. The laughter stops quickly. Lighting holds. Motion feels human. Hands finally look like hands.
That clip accidentally became a benchmark. Same idea. Same prompt. Run again and again as video models improved. No demos. No marketing. Just spaghetti.
It was funny, and reassuring. Proof that AI video was still a long way from being convincing. A novelty, not a threat.
In 2023, an AI video of Will Smith eating spaghetti went viral because it was spectacularly broken. Faces slid. Hands failed. Spaghetti behaved like it had opinions.

A live demo of EngineAI’s T800 humanoid robot at CES 2026 took an unexpected turn when the 80 kg machine lost balance and fell forward.
The incident cut through the polished launch narrative and highlighted the real challenges of humanoid robotics. - See the link in our comments for the Video! 😬
Always made good quality hardware - keyboard seems inreasonably small though
You have to also wonder how long before these become obsolete when you can just get your optimus, atlas or other humanoid robot to just vacume your stairs like a human! 🤷🏼♂️
There's been a few versions of stair climbing robots announced this year - this one seems to be the most... creepy perhaps we included a video covering the others: newsgab.com/roborock-rob...
As well as the namesake “Ava” – A glowing orb, users also get to choose from a selection of avatars.

Razer’s Project AVA is a holographic AI companion that watches your screen and talks back. Ambitious, impressive and a little unsettling. Future of AI interaction or expensive desk gimmick?
China's humanoid robot patent surge, outpacing the US fivefold, raises intriguing questions about innovations origins and its implications for an increasingly automated future.
Getting some decent airtime at the moment is Unitree - Here's the Dancing Robot Star from Leehom Wang’s Concert #unitree #robot #robotics #humanoidrobot
Perhaps he was talking about the ability to run higher resolution cameras due to the increased capacity of 6G networks, or perhaps he's just. Clueless (not gonna lie.. probably leaning a little more towards the latter) 🤷♂️
