It's a completely wooden robot, that plays chess
It beat people like Churchill and Napoleon Bonaparte
there was another robot... that most footage was lost and I think it burnt in a fire or something
cant remember its name... like ernie or something
eric that was it
Yeah, that's the turk
this might sound weird
A guy rebuilt it
but old videos of automatons scare the shit out of me
It's still working
like clowns
or some shit
but im not scared of clowns
And it beat agrandmaster
nah this was a robot that stood up
its like a soulless being
oh I see I thought you were talking to me 😛
A magic shop guy rebuilt the turk, and it beat a grandmaster
There was a story where a guy tried to cheat, and the robot knocked off all the pieces from the board
It's really interesting
talking about the gulags and killing the farmers, then people died because no one was left to farm
same thing happening in South Africa
first robot built in 1928, stood up, looked left and right, sparks came from its teeth while it gave a four minute address
you think these people would realize history
people must have crapped their pants... or laughed.. whatever 😛 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/science/2016/05/10/eric2_trans_NvBQzQNjv4Bq9rg-P7f8wNnSS1PPckrMR-dXsnpCz3tP6_Ws0MCzAGg.png?imwidth=1240
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
Ive seen that video before a while back
i think he goes into the fire and how it was lost and how someone tried to rebuild it as best they could
Yeah, it still works
Really scary stuff
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
I'm just wondering how it was built back then, within the any knowledge of computers or algorithms
its basically rotating disks (or cams) tied to strings
shit
wacka leveled up
and can post shit
prepared for wackaspam
