Yeesh, the air got colder when his face grew grim for a moment.😬

polonsus

Off camera for sure everyone got fired. The failure of the prototype was not the problem but what made Sterling look bad on television. Not anyway, I'm just speculating.

Dr. Rodin

I don’t think he did, he needs as many scientists/engineers to design & build robots for him. But if he’s anything like Walt he makes off-handed comments saying he’ll definitely keep an eye out for MORE talented people with a smile, subtly threatening them they’ll b fired if they continue being incompetent. At least that’s what I think Sterling is like

polonsus

I agree that you need scientists, technicians and engineers to continue developing robots for your monopoly, but incompetence or even failure would not look good for your brand image either. That could make you look weak in front of the competition. For example here the competition could make a commercial making fun of Sterling's prototypes and noting that their robots are more reliable. There's a lot of exposure missing here, but he speculated that for someone like Sterling he only does commercials in one take, and to proceed here he was first assured that the prototype would be functional and a showcase of the company's constant innovation. Result: failed. Sterling is furious but he's good at acting on camera. And after cutting off losing the job would be the least of his worries. Everyone there is valuable people and highly educated, but replaceable. Capitalist mentality.

Dr. Rodin

A lil bored so here’s my hot take *breathes*: This might’ve been when they’re developing more advanced task-oriented robots that’ll eventually become their star line of nandroids, starting with this one going into the task of hammering with a tool. I suspect the circuit lines that’s visible through the head are their early attempts of the CPUs/brains nandroid brains derives from the same tech but more primitive. They’re in early stages in which commands are sent via buttons instead of verbal and without the need of external equipment/computers 🤔

Melanie

Still impossible to read on my phone. Will there be separate slides?

emmytherobot

Yes but I’m away from my computer today and the app won’t let me add them. I’ll have to wait until I get home for some reason, sorry for the inconvenience!

emmytherobot

There have definitely been plenty of robots by this point who are capable of these simple tasks. It’s just the starting point when they’re testing things like motor skills and commands, of what is likely supposed to be a much more sophisticated robot later on!

That does look quite a bit like Dr. Bennet. Seems he's been with Sterling for quite a long time.

Wally Hackenslacker

And this is why software engineers run to the hills whenever someone utters the dreaded phrase... "demo day".

Greg H

Well, better this than an ED-209 situation.

Flower ✿

Quick off topic question: How much does a nanny bot cost? I’d imagine it’s around the same price range of getting a tesla today

J R

That engineer felt his soul escaping his body for a sec there.

s_semper

Very good eye! This episode and its consequences might tell us something of how he developed his present personality.

Dr. Rodin

Oof yeah, I heard the guy they tested it on barely left the boardroom 😬…

Dr. Rodin

Besides some theorizing, I’m just loving the style and the colors here. It’s legit like technicolor but 4K in which obviously Sterling could afford for this marketing campaign; especially how for one chilling moment his silvery blue eyes stared into the souls of his staff it’s JUST GOOD 👌

Dr. Rodin

Basically yeah if Hargrove looks and feel anything like Bel-Air

jrp04f

Is that a young Dr. Bennett on the team?

jrp04f

At least we know they weren't all canned for that embarrassment.

jrp04f

I know that was a Paul Verhoeven movie, but still that scene always bugged me. Showing off a FULLY ARMED robot in a boardroom? That makes for a fun scene when it's a James Bond film's scene with Q, but in real life...
