Jesus fucking christ. Of all the things to be worried about in the world, they're worried about the dancing robots.

u/King-Sassafrass Feb 21 '26

Oh, and they’re very worried actually lol

u/No_Structure_99 Feb 21 '26

At some point they were even worried about food and agriculture, let them be panic ball worrywart all they want that never change the general dynamics.

I’m not worried about dancing robots, but I’m very worried that I’ll be getting mauled by USian robot pitbulls soon enough.

At lower cost

u/dingo_xd Feb 22 '26

The west doesn't have equivalent robots. At any cost!

u/Erikkamirs Feb 21 '26

The robots really said if they couldn't dance, it wasn't their revolution.

u/PennSilver Feb 21 '26

Low cost

u/RR_laws Feb 21 '26

It's not just about lower cost. It's all about technology that they have not yet owned.

They sound like a bunch of pussies.

u/Chi_Cazzo_Sei Feb 21 '26

Very worried, i say. The West will soon become well behind China in terms of technology.

u/Cold-Prompt7888 Feb 21 '26

I think by worried they mean the West should be worried because they are behind China in robotics and AI and AI isn't just about Chatbots

u/Overdayoutdeath Feb 21 '26

Nah this the thing to be worried about. They have robots that can dance and fight. That’s definitely scary if you’re on the bad side.

u/Cold-Prompt7888 Feb 21 '26

Absolutely. US has nothing that is as capable as these robots. China won't even need to deploy humans in war to destroy its enemies in the distant future

6

u/Sandman145 Feb 22 '26

Fact is they have not deployed anything against anyone in some decades. So the worrie comes from the empire core that starts 1 per year if not more. It's just pure projection.

u/Sikarion Feb 21 '26

Wow.

I'm surprised it took them that long to print the article.

well, americans aren't really known for their literacy lol

u/jknotts Feb 22 '26

it's a british publication but yeah

u/R3spectedScholar Feb 21 '26

Why would I be worried that there is a balancing force to the genocider empire?

4

u/The_Dynasty_Warrior Feb 21 '26

Why don't they worry about their president and CEOS being a pedophiles which are also cannibals that murder children?

5

u/JazzMagiCat96 Feb 21 '26

Oh they updated fear-monterom to „Dancing but at what cost?!” We’re in post-satire world.

u/Adept_Top_7856 Feb 21 '26

They should be very worried and thats a good thing.

3

u/meinkr0phtR2 Feb 21 '26

Given that Americans protest by dancing, I’d say they’re very worried (for some reason).

3

u/Qanonjailbait Feb 22 '26

America is the one that has the history of using their technology to invade and violate international law along with their genocide butt buddy Israel

3

u/Sandman145 Feb 22 '26

It's pure projection, they know that if their govts get this tech they'll probably use this not to make dance moves, but to kill ppl.

9

u/nikkythegreat Feb 21 '26

They have a point on this one though, those robots could be used for war. It's more on the western elites should be worried.

14

u/FurryToaster Feb 21 '26

I guess but I don’t think they’d be any more effective than drones

6

u/Portablela Feb 21 '26

Gonna hurt mighty bad when they get kicked in the nuts by one of those units.

3

u/Rafael_Luisi Feb 21 '26

And then the robot does the fortnite dance perfectly on top of them.

3

u/Cold-Prompt7888 Feb 21 '26

Absolutely. China is most likely already testing robotics for warfare and it should be worrisome for warmongers in the West especially the American ruling class.

u/MinosAristos Feb 21 '26

Not just war. Labour automation too, which could affect all of us
