A video of a humanoid automaton coming to life has gone viral on X, and has people asking how long before this thing is weaponised?
The synthetic human-like creature, named Clone Alpha, was created by a company called Clone Robotics, which seems to have directly taken inspiration from the dystopian TV show Westworld.
Even its company logo is the same as imagery in the show’s opening credits.
The company claims that the “muscuskeletal androids” are designed designed to help around the home with menial tasks including cleaning, washing clothes, unloading the dishwasher and making sandwiches.
However, it is also “capable of witty dialogue,” as well as “following you around.”
