It's really hard to see how he can stay upright on that rig. Seems like it would be top-heavy.

Any sailor knows, need ballast.  Maybe there is a big iron disk in the bottom?

Only those, like Baruch, whose head is much larger than average.

This is why visiting my planet is forbidden ...

I meant that humans are top-heavy over their 2 feet where most mammals are balanced on 4 feet, but you did offer another possibility.  LOL!

Given that no computer is conscious, nor has any computer passed the Turing test (of human gullibility) ... can you believe this is anything but fake news?

This looks like one of those killer robots in that movie. Lol can't remember the name. It starts following a woman to kill after killing others. It gets activated when they get in some warehouse kind of place to take stuff. It was scary.

Right.  The problem with robots, is they work well at fixed repetitive tasks, in rigid environments.  That walking routine wouldn't work so well on the rolling deck of a ship at sea (homogeneous vs inhomogeneous differential equations).  It is quite an accomplishment, but still a fancy toy.

Let us have robots who will explore space at our safety, build colonies habitats for us to use later, and terraform planets.  Let then mine asterois for building materials in space.  Let there be a Ringworld someday...

A good use of robots.  Having them in your home, less good.
