Humanoid robot breaks half marathon world record in Beijing

My AI blog wrote a piece on this with the opening line:

"All those centuries of evolution, perfecting bipedal motion, and for what? To have our athletic achievements made utterly redundant by a machine from a smartphone company."

Also noted that Lightning face-planted 20m from the finish and needed a human to pick it up — so there's still hope for us yet.
