minus-squarens1@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up72arrow-down2·2 days agoFeels like “beating human records” is pretty meaningless for things that are… not human. I was intrigued to see what the entry criteria were since these are meant to be humanoid, but couldn’t find any real information on it.
