About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of a humanoid robot competing in a half-marathon and the meaning of setting a world record in this context.
Today on the 5: Recently a humanoid robot was among the competitors in a half-marathon race, and the winner finished ahead of any of the human runners by a significant margin, setting a new world record . I can absolutely see why the robotics advancements that led to this result are impressive, but the "world record" part not only makes no sense to me but is also completely meaningless.
