about 6 years. I can't wait to get older :-)
The first half indoors looked brilliant, but I was less blown away with
the outdoor scene. Something didn't look quite right, but I can't put my
finger on it.

Uncanny valley as far as the body movement goes. To me it is obvious
that mocap was used, quite too human in the hips and shoulders.

To be expected, considering that these are people trapped in robotic bodies.
Look at the screen in its chest: That's a prisoner profile.
Absolutely horrifying.
And to think there are people who want this technology to exist. No thank-you,
I'll keep my frail body and my date with mortality.

Forget about the robot hardware, just get a copy of your brain up and
running in software. Imagine how efficiently you could use a computer
then, none of this controlling muscles in an elaborate way to type an
"A" or move a pointer on the screen. You could just turn on "thought
input" and as you think lines of text, pictures or sounds it gets
written to a file :-) Just don't forget to keep daily backups of
yourself in case you screw something up.
And have a big project that needs to be done quickly? Just create 10
copies of your brain to run in parallel. But make sure the copies are
running in some kind of sand-box environment, otherwise you might have a
problem...

To be expected-ish, I would say. Still it looks as if it is walking in
the valley.

I don't know. My frail body would not mind a little hi tech support. :-)
Not forever, though.

Leaving aside, for the moment, the question of whether the copy of you is you
-which I personally do not believe- there's the question of what disconnecting
someone physically from everything that makes them human would do to their mind.
Thank-you, no.

It's apparently running on a single Geforce GTX 980. So more like $500.
