I believe this is the video, for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1_QhJ1EhQ

In 0:30 you can see the bag changes (the wrinkles), could be just a reshoot, but makes the magic gone.

The bag snaps closed internally. I had to watch it at 25% speed over and over.

The cool thing about slowing it down is you can see its feet wobbling side-to-side at about 10X per second to keep its balance.

The ability for the robot to move in multiple directions at once… bending knees and arms and waist at the same time, threw me for a loop.

It's interesting to see both the advances in humanoid robotics and language models like ChatGPT. The obvious next step will be to combine these two to achieve a truly human-like android, just like in old school science fiction.

Of course, bridging the uncanny valley to make it even look passably human is another milestone entirely.
