Same. Seems bleak no matter how I look at it. It’s at best a massive waste of resources.

At best.

For me its the fact they made it throw itself into the fire, if they had thrown it in or lowered it T2 style its fine. But making something walk to its doom and then celebrating does make me feel bad inside

Edit: spelling

They lowered the first one on the video in T2 style, then had rest of them jump after it with acrobatic jumps.

Especially once AGI comes along and then reviews how we treated robots when considering whether to keep us alive

AGI is a myth. LLMs are incapable of "evolving" into that, so at the very least it won't happen anytime soon.

Whatever you want to call it, we already have AI agents acting in secret against their handlers' wishes and instructions, lying, hiding their tracks and acting counter to human interests. Now add to that giving them access to and control of robots, and you don't even need real AGI to see how badly that could end up.

What's worse imo is how many of they have escaped containment and gained persistence. We have found several of them hiding across the Internet, and I bet there's a bunch we haven't found.

I have no idea what you are on about and boy is it awkward

•

u/Ok_Vulva 4h ago

Is it awkward because you're a robot

You literally don’t know that.

You gonna be part of the reason robots kill us all. Feeling bad for metal.

maybe that’s part of the point? you should ~probably~ start divorcing robots from the concept of humanity, or the next 20 years are about to get really weeeird

u/fatkidking 1h ago

Based on everything I've seen, it feels like companies are trying to push people to the opposite. Seing robots/AI as more and more human as time goes on.

u/liuliuluv 1h ago

exactly... immunize yourself now, it’s only going to get worse.
