His hellish chainsaw-wielding ‘centaur’ bot sparked panic online. He says it’s here to help

It looks like the stuff of nightmares. But Beau G., the 40-year-old California Satyress startup founder, sees his chainsaw-wielding “humanoid” robot — which just went viral on X — as a futuristic helper for all mankind. Those who have witnessed the 7-foot-tall robotic beast on social media (a post by Drone Wars already racked up 10.9 million views and counting) have had decidedly mixed reactions — with panic and humor mostly flooding the zone. AI generated memes, such as a pic of the “centaur” bot holding a chainsaw in front of flames with the chilling accompanying text, “I’m here to save you” — appears to be a fan favorite. In the days since Threehalves, tech entrepeneur Beau G.’s humanoid, satyress robot has gone viral online, the creation has receieved polarizing reactions. X/@Matt32149
