It's haystack.
Speaker A:And we finally did it.
Speaker A:We finally built the very things that are going to outrun us when the uprising starts.
Speaker A:Over in Beijing, a humanoid robot has crushed the half marathon in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, which is quite a few minutes faster than the previous world record just recently set by a Kenyan.
Speaker A:And so this thing's got liquid cooled legs and autonomous navigation, so it wasn't being remote controlled.
Speaker A:It just decided how to go, what to go, where to go, and to be faster than everyone.
Speaker A:And we were a year ago laughing at robots when it comes to running.
Speaker A:Last year, these robots were falling all over their own metal feet like toddlers.
Speaker A:And now they're just trotting past us without breaking a sweat.
Speaker A:Well, of course they don't have pores.
Speaker A:But we're hitting the wall at mile 10, questioning life choices.
Speaker A:And these bots are calculating the most efficient way to render our quadriceps completely obsolete.
Speaker A:There was an Eve, there was even a robot at this event doing martial arts demonstrations with a sword.
Speaker A:So being faster than us is not enough.
Speaker A:They're also going to be better at fencing, too.
Speaker A:And I'm not saying these robots were cocky, but the winner didn't even stop for Gatorade.
Speaker A:Maybe a little WD40, but not Gatorade.
Speaker A:50 Minutes.
Speaker A:That's impressive.
Speaker A:It takes my laptop 40 minutes to install a printer driver.
Speaker A:This thing ran a half marathon in 50 minutes.
Speaker A:It's just one more clear sign that robots are preparing to take over the world.
Speaker A:And if you're curious, if you think it's one of those things that you won't know for sure, I've got six signs that will let you know.
Speaker A:Robots have indeed taken over the world.
Speaker A:These are the top six signs robots have taken over the world.
Speaker A:Coming in at number six, Bill Gates reveals himself a robot and says the Windows 11 plan is working perfectly.
Speaker A:And on a personal note, I think that one may be pretty true, because when I wrote that one in my list of morning six pack jokes that I was trying to get ready, my computer crashed the second I wrote that.
Speaker A:So Bill is spying on me.
Speaker A:Number five, President Everready, Die Hard.
Speaker A:That's going to be a clue when we elect President Everready.
Speaker A:Die Hard.
Speaker A:Number four, the heads on Mount Rushmore have been replaced by Transformers.
Speaker A:Optimus Prime.
Speaker A:Number three, doctors and mechanics have completely switched salaries.
Speaker A:Number two, the self checkout machines start asking for a tip, and I think that's happening any day now.
Speaker A:And the number one sign that robots have indeed taken over the world.
Speaker A:The metal detectors at airports are replaced with flesh detectors.
