Perhaps the most unusual fight took place in San Francisco. American blogger Frankie LaPenna and the android EngineAI T800 entered the ring. The fight took place as part of the REK show, which usually organizes robot fights. Kursiv LifeStyle tells how a man entered the ring against an almost two-meter machine and who won in the end. At first, LaPenna hit the robot several times and was even able to push it back. However, T800 then went on the attack and launched several powerful kicks. After one of them, the blogger ended up on the floor and was unable to continue the fight. View this post on Instagram Post by Frankie LaPenna (@frankielap) Externally, the iron fighter was stylized as a T-800 from “The Terminator” and added terrifying red glowing eyes. The video of the fight quickly spread across social networks; on Instagram, the video received about 2.8 million likes and 61.8 thousand comments. The video of the fight caused a strong reaction. Users joked about the uprising of the machines, and at the same time thought that the spectacle looked a little alarming. “Looks like this video will go down in history as a watershed moment.” “Didn’t we have six movies explaining why this whole thing is a bad idea?” “We literally create what we fear” “Don’t teach them
fight...", "This is how it starts", "Why do we even consider this normal?" - write commentators. Fortunately, the rise of the machines does not seem to be imminent yet. During the fight, the robot was controlled by an operator using VR, so the T800 did not decide for itself where to strike. Although, one way or another, the machine still entered the ring and knocked out the man. It turns out that now robots can not only take jobs away from people. Kursiv LifeStyle previously wrote that in the Chinese region of Xinjiang, an AI animator hit a child during a performance at one of the tourist sites. The incident was caught on video and quickly spread across social networks. The footage shows the robot kicking a boy during a demonstration of karate techniques. After the blow, he grabs his stomach, crouches in pain and cries.
