Humanoid robot seen running near Dubai's Emirates Tower; triggers viral reactions: ‘Where is the robot going? Looking for a job?'
Shot from inside a car, the video captures the robot crossing a street near Emirates Tower, trailed closely by a man, likely its operator, who holds a device in his hand, prompting some users to speculate about remote control involvement.

While the scene itself is surreal, it's the comments that really stole the show. One user said, 'The day is not far when u break the rules and robots will slap you on road.' Another wrote, 'He must have fine still he doesn't follow the zebra crossing,' mocking the robot's lack of traffic etiquette.
Another person commented, 'Is this working with remote control. What is in that person's hand?'
A fourth individual wrote, 'Even the robot searching for air conditioning.' 'Rushing to pee? Looking for a job? Where is the robot going?' wrote a fifth person.
Nvidia, the tech company behind these advanced machines, describes them as 'general-purpose, bipedal robots modeled after the human form factor.' Built to function alongside humans, they're capable of handling a range of tasks like lifting, unboxing, and moving objects, making them a potential game-changer in workplaces.
Meanwhile, on a more unsettling note, another video from China is stirring a different kind of buzz. In footage shared by NEXTA TV, a Unitree H1 humanoid robot is seen strapped to a crane during what appears to be a routine test. Things take a dramatic turn when the robot begins flailing uncontrollably, knocking over equipment and startling the workers nearby.

Justin Timberlake ‘pushed through for months before' Lyme disease diagnosis, Jessica Biel ‘was incredibly supportive'
Singer and actor Justin Timberlake, who recently opened up about his Lyme disease diagnosis, was "pushing through for months before finally getting answers". His wife Jessica Biel was "incredibly supportive" of him, People reported, citing their family source. Justin talked about his Lyme disease diagnosis on social media on July 31. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are parents to two sons. Justin Timberlake was quietly dealing with health issues As per the report, the news has brought Justin "clarity". "He's not 20 anymore. But when his symptoms worsened, he realised something deeper was going on. He pushed through for months before finally getting answers. The Lyme disease diagnosis brought clarity to a series of unexplained issues that he's been quietly dealing with," People's source said. According to the source, Jessica "felt like something was off" with Justin's health. She "encouraged him to get checked out." Jessica 'could tell that he wasn't himself. She's incredibly supportive', the source added. Justin's focus is now health and family Justin will now focus on his treatment and recovery. "He's taking it seriously. The plan is to rest, spend time with Jess and the kids and do everything he can to heal. He loved touring and being back onstage, but he's also relieved it's over. Now he can focus on his health," added the source. He recently concluded his two-year Forget Tomorrow World Tour, an international run in support of his 2024 studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. Justin and Jessica are parents to sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5. What Justin said about his health recently Justin announced his diagnosis in an Instagram post, informing fans that he wanted to "shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes". A part of his note read, "I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which I don't say so you feel bad for me, but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes. If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically." "When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going," he added. Justin had previously cancelled or postponed shows on his tour due to an ongoing back injury, bronchitis and laryngitis, and an ankle injury. About Justin's career Over the years, Justin released several albums, including Justified, FutureSex/LoveSounds, The 20/20 Experience, The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2, and Man of the Woods (2018).

After Sydney Sweeney's bath soap drama she gets a digital snan in Prayagraj river and it is holy hilarious
After months of being stuck in the trolls' bathtub, from facing heat over her American Eagle denim ads to getting dragged for selling luxury bath water soap, Sydney Sweeney has finally received the most unexpected cleansing ritual of all: a digital snan at the sacred Sangam in Prayagraj. Sydney Sweeney gets a holy cleanse after bath soap and denim backlash Yes, you read that right. Sweeney, who was just recently internet-roasted over her bizarre $95 'bath soap' launch, has now been given a spiritual reset by none other than Deepak Goel, the now-famous man behind India's 'digital snan' trend. What even is a digital snan and why is Sydney Sweeney in it? The digital snan, a weirdly viral ritual that kicked off during the Maha Kumbh, involves dipping photos of people into the holy river as a symbolic cleansing. No ticket, no visa, just pure vibes and printed paper. In a now-viral video posted on Instagram, Goel can be seen holding up a printed photo of Sydney Sweeney, dramatically announcing that 'she needs no introduction,' before dipping her picture into the waters of Sangam for a symbolic holy bath. The video is part deadpan, part dramatic cinema. Social media cannot stop laughing or questioning reality The clip has sparked waves of amusement online. One user sarcastically joked that Sydney's snan arrived before GTA VI. Another admitted they were 'terrified' by how seriously Goel takes his job. Someone else said, 'I have seen enough.' Goel, by the way, is already known for performing 'digital snans' on behalf of ISB Hyderabad students for their placements. Yes, this man is booked and blessed. The bath water-to-holy water arc we never expected Whether it is satire, spirituality or social media chaos, Sydney Sweeney's journey from luxury soaps to sacred dips is definitely a storyline no one had on their 2025 bingo card. From overpriced bath water to holy river water looks like the internet has decided she needed a cleanse, and delivered.
