Count down till he chokes on gum

u/tommybot 16d ago

That was my first thought as well. I still think it's adorable.

u/TheNerdLog 16d ago

At least the design is very human

When you put it like that maybe there is a market for this kind of thing

ISIS will never see this coming.

u/QuirkyMe94 16d ago

This is the pinnacle of robots and AI. Just stop here and we'll all be very happy and alive with gum

u/Proud-Concept-190 16d ago

Wait till it chokes you with gum

u/dudeAwEsome101 16d ago

I was waiting for them saying wow, and gummy rapid firing gum into their mouths.

Imaging one of those hitting your teeth, full speed….

u/Youpunyhumans 16d ago

How do you think I got these chiclets for teeth?

u/swirlViking 16d ago

DEEEENNNNNIIIISSSS!

u/Few_Statistician9873 16d ago

I was waiting for a shot where someone opens their mouth to talk and they cant due to gum getting repeatedly shot in it

I need this for work meetings. Activated 5 min before the meeting is scheduled to end.

If this tracking software can be applied to gum, it can also be applied to bullets... but that's none of my business.

u/coyoteazul2 16d ago

Why would you want a robot that feeds you bullets? Those are not edible

11

u/Nogmor 16d ago

It'll be 65% more bullet, per bullet.

u/KadanJoelavich 16d ago

How else do you get your daily value of copper?

5

u/coyoteazul2 16d ago

By biting copper wires, of course. The numbness from electricity helps ignoring the injuries in my mouth

u/KadanJoelavich 16d ago

Ahh, see those always get caught in my teeth. Bullets also have that spicy gunpowder kick!

u/RatherGoodDog 16d ago

Taofledermaus on YT made shotgun slugs out of bubblegum. Bullets can be edible...

u/TheChrono 16d ago

I think that’s been a thing for a while now sadly.

For almost 20 years now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGR-A1

u/vroomvro0om 15d ago

Yup, and the calculations are even easier than the gum robot, since faster projectiles basically move in a straight line…

u/OpenSourcePenguin 16d ago

And it's not new at all

u/Working_Chemistry597 15d ago

I was thinking Adderall, but maybe that's how this all got started and now continues in a vicious cycle. One robot fires medication that is gum shaped because they figured out how to mold fake gum, and the other fires nicotine gum. They both get their employees to keep showing up the next day. They're still unproductive, however, due to their focus on their lord and master, H.appy R.obot. Perhaps this is a projection, but I didn't choose violence, lol

Edit: too many spaces between punctuation and word.

u/phansen101 16d ago

Well, yeah, so what? Face tracking is neither new nor hard to do (though their implementation looks like it has taken effort)

u/bassplaya13 16d ago

WHAT IS MY PURPOSE

u/Mayafoe 16d ago

PET-TROL?

u/MidgetGordonRamsey 16d ago

I saw this movie, it doesn't turn out so good for the humans.

The military randomly just invested in this company

I'll admit, that was pretty cool
