hello I’m Paul Giamatti and welcome to
the set of breakthrough I’m not a big
tech guy I mean I find the stuff
interesting but I I’m inapt with it this
stuff is really cool I mean the kind of
cybernetics and then robotic stuff
what’s been ridiculous i can I can’t
believe I’m talking to these guys
extraordinary giant branes the gentleman
was using the jaws of life to open the
car up that’s mostly what you’re gonna
see are you gonna see them using this
heavy equipment that normally the guy
would be able to hold up for not even a
minute probably and do what they had to
do now I can hold it for hours at a time
we drop two rocks on one car but then
mostly it’s a demonstration of that
exosuit and a pretty close analysis of
how it works but the suit is amazing you
know i mean the suit itself is it’s
practically not there and what the guy
can do it is amazing there’s a guy who’s
cybernetic now with that machine that’s
you know using it to rescue people I
mean it’s all like very you know the
human level of it it isn’t sort of
making a superhuman it’s sort of being
it’s at a very human level you know it’s
like letting you be fully human the
medical thing of it seems the huge
application for you know I mean that’s a
lot of what these guys you’re doing but
you know all this industrial stuff it’s
saved in these guys bodies to begin with
so these guys won’t have medical
problems people are being turned into
cyborgs in some sense none of it is like
turning you into something beyond human
it’s all kind of either compensating for
something or or extending an ability you
already have some point the idea seems
to be you’ll be able to control an
avatar a complete other body that’s all
sort of down the road right now it kind
of fills in and
kind of just makes you better at what
you do already there’s a definite fear
and sort of you know a singularity where
machines take over and humans become
subordinate to machines which some of
these guys just don’t see happening
because the human element is always
going to be in control most of the stuff
that I’ve seen has been extraordinarily
helpful for people it’s saving lives
like these guys but then it’s also
allowing people to walk who can’t walk
anymore people to hear who haven’t been
able to hear before I mean the human
element of it has been the most
extraordinary part of it and that seems
to be the most meaningful application of
the thing what we keep seeing is the
thing in its perfect state right now you
know it’s always an a stage to getting
better and they’ve failed a lot you know
but we haven’t seen any other failures
we just keep seeing the ones that are
working at their best now but it’s going
to get better than that
