The merry maniacs at Megabots Inc. surprise Queen of Shitty Robots Simone Giertz with a GIANT version of her chopping machine. Mayhem ensues.
Boston Dynamics could give that thing legs.
She sounds so delighted! I love it.

Oh sure, it’s all fun and games until the giant robot with massive knives for arms achieves sentience.

I suspect Ms. Giertz would be OK with that scenario....

Not for long . . .
With all the health problems Simone has had lately, it's great to see her looking so chipper.

+1 on the SRL thing and the post-health crisis thing. Her twitter feed is nice, and so is this post.

It's a great project, and a great story, but I think it occurred in January 2017, before Simon Giertz' brain surgery.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I think we may have found the solution to Brexit.

One of the MegaBots co-founders came from Boston Dynamics. I think it would only have been a matter of time...
