"Beau G. works as an engineer in Northern CA during the day, but at night, he and a small group of friends in his garage in Auburn hammer together pieces for a robot that currently has no investors and no flashy demo film.
The website satyress.com has been up and running for 2 years, with only a few visits per day, until the photographs became viral, at which point server bandwidth needed to be increased to accommodate the millions of additional visitors."

"It feels like there’s a 50% chance that Threehalves is well-executed piece of parody that sat on the internet for more than a year before it found the audience it was looking for, and a 50% chance that it’s someone’s fever dream of a killer app that will never actually be built because the people involved both lack the capability to make it and its use case is so strange and limited that there would never be a genuine market for such an expensive, unwieldy robot." 🤣 https://www.jezebel.com/threehalves-robot-real-or-fake-demon-centaur-evil-satyress-danger-manual-labor-horns 5/n
