For people who are not aware, "Yao-Shun-Yu" are the first three (half-mythical) kings of China. They are famous for their altruism and kindness.

At this point, I am not even sure naming robots after human rulers is dystopian or not.

The only reason to make a robot humanoid is to fuck it. Every other use-case doesn't need human limitations or complexity.

Why design hips, knees, ankles, coordination, and balance when wheels exist?

Humanoid robots are a scam.

Humanoid robots are a scam.

Not if you're a robofucker.

I saw a Chinese robot short on YouTube recently where the robot had hips and swayed while it walked. For a more "human like" gait

But did it make you want to fuck it? I bet it does for someone if not.

How will Lemmites decide which circle to jerk?

China good or AI bad?
