The Nightmare in Silicon Valley: 8 horror technologies that should scare you to death
Every night is fright night with what can happen once these scary technologies take hold in ways that you may not have imagined.
Make no mistake, the robots are keeping score. Here's the latest tally in the robots v. humans matchup.
Last New Year's Eve, a nightclub in Prague called Karlovy Lazne Music Club debuted a robot disc jockey named DJ Kuka. The single-arm robot grabs discs and changes songs with a gripper while bobbing along to music amid an extravagant light display.
Fans were a little underwhelmed.
"It can't feel what the people want to dance to," one attendee told Reuters. "There is no emotion behind the music. When there is a real person, they know what fun is like."
TAKEAWAY: Vibe and creativity still seem like uniquely human traits.
WINNER: HUMANS
SCORE: 5-4
