This isn’t a “robots are coming” hot take. This is a data point worth sitting with. Five years ago no bipedal robot could sustain a controlled run outdoors. Today one is operating at 81% of the fastest human speed ever recorded - in early testing, not a final product. The rate of improvement in bipedal locomotion has quietly outpaced almost every projection from 2020. What I’m genuinely curious about: is locomotion the last physical frontier that felt distinctly human? We’ve already lost chess, Go, image recognition, protein folding. Running felt different - more visceral, more ours. Does crossing that line change anything for you - or is it just another benchmark? submitted by /u/amazing_guy1708
