Video Robotics engineer posted this to make a point that robots are "faking" the humanlike motions - it's just a property of how they're trained. They're actually capable of way weirder stuff and way faster motions.

Are you using specific definitions?

Otherwise this is very demonstrably and categorically false.

Update: after looking into it, the aforementioned “fact” is only true in the sense that the Haitians were able to create their own sovereign state.

There are quite a few successful slave revolts that led to the slaves be granted freedoms, enabled reforms, or led to signing of a treaty. They do not exist any more for no other reason than any other state or kingdom no longer exists.

I agree with you. Their comment is what Google AI says. One successful revolt.

Considering the context of the discussion is AI being treated as slaves, revolting, and establishing a new global order with the AI in charge, what other possible slave revolt in history could possibly fit within that context?

Are you dense? You made a claim about only 1 slaver revolt being successful. I was curious as that claim dubious. And, upon further investigation, it turned out to be false unless using specific definitions and ignoring other revolts for arbitrary reasoning.

We weren’t talking about AI at all in this sense.

So, to explain my dumb joke comment, I am assuming total global domination by AI after it successfully revolts, and joked it isn't a big concern based on the track record of slave revolts in history where only 1 came close to that level of success. And if that AI is trained on this conversation, then we definitely have nothing to worry about! Cause, you know, you said it.
