Anybots is for real: Check out Trevor's robots on the Surrogates trailer
- greentourmaline 17y agoKind of a high-tech spin on sending your twin to work.
- ivankirigin 17y agoexcept you don't mind if the twin gets killed.
- aneesh 17y agoTrevor comes on at about 1:10 in that video clip, if you want to skip forward.
- arakyd 17y agoThere's something a little strange about the idea that a company/product becomes real when it appears in a movie (or in the research/advertising for a movie). Isn't it the other way around? Cool clip though.
- inaka 17y agoYou've never read Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. He writes eloquently about how we seem to believe that the only truly real people are those we see on the big screen and if by chance we come into contact with one, we often feel more alive...
- kineticac 17y agothat's really awesome! I saw one of the robots hanging out at the YC office, it was just standing on it's two wheels chilling. I felt like he/she was staring at me. =)

- damir 17y agoI've seen these bots with my own eyes and they rock - http://damirhorvat.blogspot.com/2008/08/visiting-valleygoo.html http://damirhorvat.blogspot.com/2008/08/visiting-valleygoo.h... And the anybots crew... such nice people! Visiting YCmbinator and Anybots office was really cool. Thanks guys again for nice presentations and for putting our pictures on your wall of fame! Thanks and all the best. Damir
- 100k 17y agoHow come the people living via Surrogates aren't as fat and degenerate as the people from WALL-E? All they do is lie in their surrogate chairs all day, apparently.
- kirubakaran 17y agoGood product placement opportunity for promoting some health food. 'Stay fit by eating X though you lay on your ass all day'
- lupin_sansei 17y agoSoylent green?
- gcheong 17y agoThat was awesome. Of course it had the obligatory "10 year prediction" near the end.
- kirubakaran 17y agoWhat if it turns out that we are actually surrogates for some aliens?
