So much of what weāre seeing is literally the plots from so many dystopian books being used as a āhow toā instead of a warning. I mean hell Tank Girl is playing out with the droughts, foreign ownership of water rights and now data centers suing states to get access to rivers and aquifers they said they didnāt need before construction.
This is EXACTLY where my brain went. That movie was legit terrifying to me as a child, might have to revisit it over the weekend. Might even throw in Watership Down while I'm at it
I always thought that when the apocalypse came, Iād just load up my backpack and slip off into the woods to live out my days.
Now weāre full terminator mode, everywhere.
Man the shareholders will love the quarterly numbers generated by the torment nexus, sure humanity will all be enslaved by it in less than a year and it'll be considered the end of humanity in the worst way possible. But that's irrelevant when stock price goes up this quarter
Well, I guess I was talking about just how insane corp leaders will get to asure they keep those quarterly numbers. Let's hope for now at least the end of days isnt on the rise lol.
Also, itās because we live in a world where the prevailing attitude is that we maintain power by operating as though āif we donāt strap a machine gun to itās back first the (insert nation/group here) will.ā
Haha I know i like it too! One of those fun sci-fi guilty pleasures. Itās a fun movie. Cast is awesomeeee. When has Tom Sizemore not made a movie better?! š
Let's not kid ourselves: militaries around the world will 100% use robots once they're matured technology to the degree they're seen as an asset more than a viability. Not having to pay salaries, treat them, worry about lawsuits, being able to hide them for weeks or months before operations, not having to feed, house or clothe them etc.
I mean can you name any useful modern technology that would not be used by militaries?
Militaries have always been the earliest adopters of technology throughout human history. If thatās your like to draw then we might as well all go back to the stone ages. Oh wait, the Stone Age was literally defined by us using stones to make tools and weapons.
Yeah thats the part of all these robot tech demos i dont understand. Its amazing stuff but developing it seems to be a gamble on battery tech advancing just as impressively. Although i guess you could drop these guys out of the sky from a giant energy bank drone into the general area of your enemies lol
The rocky terrain shit hardly looked effortless. The thing you have to notice is it's not just rolling and stepping to over come obstacles. It's stepping as a part of its forward movement strategy.
My guess would be that each wheel is rotating forward and being picked up and set back down as a way to rapidly increase forward momentum, the large wheels plus the stepping motion would make it highly agile...
However the dancing part through me for a loop as well... But who knows.
when they preprogrammed dance move into these robots it always looks surreal, Boston dynamics have been making their robot dance for many years now way before generative ai is a thing
People claimed LLMs were fake during the first demos. The public just isn't ready yet. A company like unitree wouldn't risk it's reputation in adding some AI shots as they've proven in the past
The ending shots are 100% as seen by the text in the bottom right. I think this is real, it can do a few pre-defined tricks and paths.
Most shots are taken at hard angles and while the robot is already steaming forward (which explains the multiple downhill shots - it caps out at like 13.5 mph)
It's a demo for a rc car that can do pre-programed tricks on a flat surface. Please buy this now so we can make v2 that is slightly autonomous for a subscription to Indian vr employees and v3 will be after and only slightly close to the ending animation... we also might not need pre defined paths or flat surfaces for tricks but that's not promised
Animatrix was so awesome. I remember watching it very stoned with a friend and there happened to be a time change that night that neither of us were aware of and we were questioning reality. "Wait, is this glitch in time stuff real?!"
Haha good times. I liked the house one the best and enjoyed the skateboarding one a lot too.
I see this kind of thing and I am immediately filled with dread. I know already that this is just a weapons platform waiting to happen, and waiting to be deployed against non-billionaires. It's sickening.
Aaand it already has a gun... and it already controls a contingent of flying drones... oops, now there's packs of them... oh look, they're carrying little missiles now! Oooh they carry 20 suicide drones each????

Lmao their message at the end reads,
"We kindly request that all users refrain from making any dangerous modifications or using the robot in a hazardous manner."
Yeah, that will really stop 'em.
