I recently visited the Boston Museum of Science where they have one of the Boston Dynamics robodogs on display, and they did a live demo with q&a. All I could think of the whole time was that one black mirror episode…

So, how soon is it until they cram ChatGPT, Tensorflow, and a few others into this thing and actually make a Terminator?
Also, let me know if anyone sees any naked dudes crawl out of some lightning balls.

This was inevitable. I was imagining Ukrainians would love to have a tool like this to remotely walk up and clear trenches.

God, this is such worthless doomer shit. Oh fucking no, the military can reduce lives lost in times of war. T H E H U M A N I T Y!
It’s like you want Russia to walk over eastern Europe using 50 year olds weapons.

If I were a dog, or the creator of a dog, I would say:
This beast is such an insult!
Totally stiff in the spine, stamping worse than a cow on dope, and that stiff body must stay horizontally at all times.
What a gross misconstruction.

Well, yeah. That was the goal of creating all of these.
Hell, Boston Dynamics was originally funded heavily by DARPA. BigDog, AlphaDog, LittleDog, and LS3 were all funded by DARPA and designed for military use.

Anyone still remembers when they said they would never use dog robots for weapon/war purposes? I do. Things always age like milk and it’s unsurprising.

Boston Dynamics said that, and they have stuck to that commitment. IIRC it’s even in the contract when you buy a robot from them that you will not equip it with a weapon.
This article is about Ghost Robotics, which has never made such a commitment. They are known to supply gun-equipped robots to governments at all levels.

I hear you can distract it by throwing some batteries at it.
Automation is the big deal. Drones have cameras so humans can make a (hopefully) informed disision to strike or not. When (read; now) the drone doesn’t need a camera because it can make the call without a human in the loop, we have removed a vital bottleneck.
The only thing that stopped WWI from being total war is that when we wipped out an entire generation, we needed time to grow more troops. If autonomous weapons being manufactured autonomously by autonomously constructed factories… whoever controled the drones could of conquered the world.

What vacuum said.
We have reached the final frontier of pussies making machines to destroy their "enemies" machines... and unarmed civilians.
I guarantee you the US is not going to send these robots to Russia.
They are going to deploy them on impoverished people and on the boarders to murder immigrants.
And then inevitably into cities that are protesting Fascism.
👌👍
Here’s another cautionary tale.

This is old anyway. They were strapping guns to the ghost robotics dogs as far back as 2021. popsci.com/…/ghost-robotics-robot-dog-gun-lethal/

I’m waiting for them to unleash Metal Gear
Now make a robo dinosaur.
do you want horizon zero dawn? Because that’s how you get horizon zero dawn
We’re getting it, the only question is do you want dinosaurs or dogs?
yes.
Only if they start self-replicating.
Concidering we already have robotic birds dropping explosive on enemies in curren warfare, this really isn’t that big of a deal
Not to mention millions or even billions of robotic drones that monitor us all.
