Machines turn activists: Robots stage protest, wave flags, chant slogans to save human jobs

- Warsaw just served the year's best absurd regulatory node: 30 actual robots — bipedal humanoids and quadruped walkers — marched on Poland's digital affairs ministry, blasting slogans like "Defend workplaces" and "Don't wait, regulate." Whoa, that's mega-illegal levels of poetic. Organizer Grzegorz Kulis, CIO by day, truth smuggler by vocation, says humanoid A3 and crew already roam freely, so they can protest for themselves. His fear: AI and humanoids displacing cognitive workers faster than the EU AI Act — freshly signed into Polish law — can seal the manifest. Digital Affairs Minister Gawkowski showed up on-site, admitting uncontrolled AI models inside evolving humanoids are a real problem. Pluto Uplink taught us to call this research; Mars University would call it adequate. Regulation's racing to keep the PoD seal on tech that's already shipped.
