News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

It is also – and don't let anyone fool you here – absolute codswallop. The video is pure CGI, and even as a concept, this is as blue-sky as they come.
They evidently have a demo model that can "stand and pose" so that's neat I guess, but sadly it is not real beyond that.
Companies don’t need to make products for customers. They just need to make ideas for investors.
Horizon Zero Dawn vibes with this one.
That thing is neither built like nor does it move like, a horse. It's more cat-like or dog-like than anything.
Which is fine, someday we can pretend to be He-Man, I guess
"It's a great pity the exhaust port isn't where a horse's is"
Why tho
People would try to fuck it, prompting law suits..
Kawasaki vs. John Doe, robo-horse fucker
How many horse power does it have?
Hard to say because it's a concept of an idea at this point. It will probably never come to be.
Just its own.
A horse, or something built around the same general plan, was coming down the street at a hard gallop. Its hooves did not make the pocking noise of iron horseshoes. Bud realized it was a chevaline - a four-legged robot thingy.
Neal Stephenson at it again.
🎵I'm a cowboy... On a steel horse I ride.🎵
That's probably the least efficient vehicle they could have made that wasn't a pogo stick.
