Yeah, give terminators Neo like abilities

deus@lemmy.world on 27 May 22:33 collapse

It’s not like we stood a chance anyways. Just strap a gun to those Boston Dynamics dogs and we’re all doomed.

Landless2029@lemmy.world on 27 May 22:48 next collapse

Obligatory link to slaughterbots

Usernameblankface@lemmy.world on 28 May 01:10 collapse

Shudders* Yeah, humanoid robots that can do advanced human style fighting pale in comparison.

zqwzzle@lemmy.ca on 28 May 00:38 next collapse

You can get them with a flamethrower… throwflame.com/products/thermonator-robodog/

Pretty sure that’s the exact premise of a Black Mirror episode.

thedruid@lemmy.world on 27 May 22:38 next collapse

Ok. I know. Apocalypse and dystopia. But c’mon. We have gladiator robots. That’s cool

neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works on 28 May 01:29 next collapse

To future ai, I’m not with this guy.

thedruid@lemmy.world on 28 May 11:44 collapse

I’m not worried about future a. I. I’m worried about today’s, lol

That’s fair 😂

Panem et circenses!

NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world on 27 May 22:39 next collapse

Can we get robots vs wrestlers like in HIMYM? At least one dream not tainted by the future.

CaptDust@sh.itjust.works on 27 May 22:50 next collapse

The first steps to Real Steel, I’m in

TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com on 27 May 22:54 next collapse

This just happens to coincide with right when Joe Taekwondo Rogan becoming a Xian.

Coincidence ? I think not.

hitstun@fedia.io on 27 May 23:23 collapse

I first read "Xian" as "fan of Xi Jinping", and then this comment would have made sense. But no, Joe Rogan claims to have become a Christian.

Kernal64@sh.itjust.works on 28 May 03:19 collapse

I’ve never understood xtian and xmas. Jeebus supposedly got nailed to what they call a cross, but was really a lowercase t. The abbreviations that would make sense to me would be tian and tmas. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

debris_slide@lemmy.world on 28 May 04:22 next collapse

t is a much more common letter than x, making the chance of confusion higher. x rarely gets used and kinda looks like a cross.

Womble@lemmy.world on 28 May 07:53 collapse

The x isnt symbolising the cross (well kinda is too but not mainly), its a latinisation of χ the greek letter chi which makes the “ch” sound, as in Christ.

The chi-rho (from christ in greek χριστοσ) was a symbol of early christianity.

PattyMcB@lemmy.world on 27 May 22:57 next collapse

This is what we’re using our resources on? What a waste

jaybone@lemmy.zip on 28 May 05:05 collapse

Think of it as research. For when the CCP sends robo soldiers to take over the world.

hitstun@fedia.io on 27 May 23:16 next collapse

Here's the final round. Honestly, the robots did better than I expected. This is fun, but I think we're 5-10 years away from CCP giving these robots guns and deploying them against humans.

Simulation6@sopuli.xyz on 28 May 00:17 next collapse

That was a lot more boring then I thought it would be.

ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 28 May 07:30 next collapse

Yeah that was seriously disappointing, who knew “robot kick boxing” could be so boring.

Breezy@lemmy.world on 28 May 09:42 collapse

Around the 35 minute mark is a fight with pink and black that ends in a very funny way.

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social on 28 May 07:16 collapse

That’s not a long time.

It also gives them time to finish the modernization of their navy into a true blue-water carrier-based force.

Meanwhile, the West is busy shooting itself in the head

nullPointer@programming.dev on 27 May 23:40 next collapse

Trainers controlled their robots remotely with joysticks.

soo not autonomous? just more expensive battlebots… yawn.

cyd@lemmy.world on 28 May 04:17 next collapse

Pretty sure it’s at least semi-autonomous. In the video you can see the bots react to hits and recover their footing, there’s no way a human can control all those reflex actions in real time.

toastmeister@lemmy.ca on 28 May 04:39 next collapse

Battlebots is awesome. A more expensive battle bots would be awesome.

Nlow that was a great show. I always wanted in on that too. Back when Radio Shack still dealt in parts for remote control cars.

Oh my god…How I Met Your Mother was right!!! This is absolutely going to lead to “Wrestlers vs Robots”!!!

Battlebots, the new vision.

Not the world’s first as this fine lump of shit already exists…
