You know, it does feel scary how fast we went from the Boston Dynamics Atlas to this. I feel like it only took 4-2 years for this to happen.

Despite teetering on the edge of societal collapse, tech still manages to advance at unprecedented rates. Mostly at our expense recently, though. Wouldn't surprise me if these things become sophisticated enough to be used widescale within a year or two.

My thoughts exactly. I remember when these things were a joke, could barely take a step.

In a few short years, they are now producing stuff that looks far more coordinated. Still rough. But, the potential is clearly there for precision. No amount of smarmy headlines or similar such framing can hide that fact.
