2018-07-09 01:16:02 UTC  

😃

Also the one of the Japanese archer because it actually shoots a miniature arrow which is hilarious to me

2018-07-09 01:16:22 UTC  

It's a completely wooden robot, that plays chess

2018-07-09 01:16:23 UTC  

It beat people like Churchill and Napoleon Bonaparte

2018-07-09 01:17:16 UTC  

there was another robot... that most footage was lost and I think it burnt in a fire or something

2018-07-09 01:17:27 UTC  

cant remember its name... like ernie or something

2018-07-09 01:18:20 UTC  

eric that was it

2018-07-09 01:18:34 UTC  

Yeah, that's the turk

2018-07-09 01:18:36 UTC  

this might sound weird

2018-07-09 01:18:37 UTC  

A guy rebuilt it

2018-07-09 01:18:46 UTC  

but old videos of automatons scare the shit out of me

2018-07-09 01:18:47 UTC  

It's still working

2018-07-09 01:18:51 UTC  

like clowns

2018-07-09 01:18:53 UTC  

or some shit

2018-07-09 01:18:58 UTC  

but im not scared of clowns

2018-07-09 01:18:59 UTC  

And it beat agrandmaster

2018-07-09 01:19:01 UTC  

nah this was a robot that stood up

2018-07-09 01:19:06 UTC  

its like a soulless being

2018-07-09 01:19:17 UTC  

oh I see I thought you were talking to me 😛

2018-07-09 01:19:44 UTC  

A magic shop guy rebuilt the turk, and it beat a grandmaster

2018-07-09 01:20:16 UTC  

There was a story where a guy tried to cheat, and the robot knocked off all the pieces from the board

2018-07-09 01:20:33 UTC  

It's really interesting

2018-07-09 01:21:15 UTC  

watching JRE with JBP

2018-07-09 01:21:35 UTC  

talking about the gulags and killing the farmers, then people died because no one was left to farm

2018-07-09 01:21:45 UTC  

same thing happening in South Africa

2018-07-09 01:21:49 UTC  

first robot built in 1928, stood up, looked left and right, sparks came from its teeth while it gave a four minute address

2018-07-09 01:21:53 UTC  

you think these people would realize history

2018-07-09 01:25:16 UTC  

would be nice to see someone do something as beautiful as the silver swan automaton again with todays tech... not with electricity, but just the materials, machining, 3d printing etc we could use

2018-07-09 01:26:02 UTC  

Ive seen that video before a while back

2018-07-09 01:26:24 UTC  

i think he goes into the fire and how it was lost and how someone tried to rebuild it as best they could

2018-07-09 01:28:23 UTC  

Yeah, it still works

2018-07-09 01:28:29 UTC  

Really scary stuff

2018-07-09 01:30:30 UTC  

but also although it could be seen as majestic, I think today it would come off a little gimmicky, whereas something more .. I dunno how to describe it.... naturist or something? in jewellery would be better.... imo

2018-07-09 01:36:22 UTC  

I'm just wondering how it was built back then, within the any knowledge of computers or algorithms

2018-07-09 01:37:33 UTC  

its basically rotating disks (or cams) tied to strings
