Gary Marcus shared a Daily Mail clip of a humanoid robot attempting an ultramarathon in a snowy polar setting — wearing bib #29 — only to run out of battery after 1.9 miles. His quip: "When the robots come for you, just put on your running shoes and go for a jog." A lighthearted reality check on humanoid endurance and outdoor robustness.
