Engineers at the University of California San Diego have trained a humanoid robot to effortlessly learn and perform a variety of expressive movements, including simple dance routines and gestures like waving, high-fiving and hugging, all while maintaining a steady gait on diverse terrains.
As a bonus, it's now prepared when it's time to dance on our graves

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I KNOW it is just a machine but why does seeing that make me want to go throttle all those bullies? My wife would have gone into full Mama Bear mode.

Do we really want machines pretending to be humans? I certainly don't! I'd rather be alone than talking to a machine! Way, way back in time, when my late mother first time encountered an interactive computer program, and it wrote on the console, "What do you want me to do for you, Ellen?", she was so impressed: It knows my name! It is talking to me personally! ... I had started programming then, even studied the source code of an early implementation of Eliza (this was in the 1970s) and knew very well that all there was to it, was a fixed string concatenated with her login name. Not much "personal" about that! Today's text generators are more advanced than Eliza in the 1970s, but to me, they are the same thing. Not much "AI" to it. If I really needed a therapist, maybe Eliza could be of some help, yet I don't want it. If I want a dance with a girl, and I am offered a machine who knows the dance steps, I don't want it. I don't want any machine pretending to be anything else than a machine! So I do not object to machines doing the work for me - quite to the contrary. But let us understand that they are machines. At this very moment, I am talking to a machine. Luckily, it doesn't pretend to be a human at all. I am happy with that.

So a robot doing the robot dance would be a robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot...
As long as it dances on the back of a turtle, we're all good!
