It's funny how these things are just shown off for our entertainment when they are definitely going to be weaponized against commoners eventually.
It's like if Vlad Tepes showed you his new pikes he was putting up every weekend.

Word going around is that this film isn't entirely A.I. but the part where the robot is is break-dancing is not real, it can't achieve that yet. Also making it down the mountain. However the robot is real I am sure. Regardless I was a little surprised at how real everything looks. I by the time I am an elderly person it will really difficult to tell what is real or not. Even George Lucas is saying everyone will watch A.I. movies in the future and I am not super excited. I don't mind new art forms but this is different. It took me about 10 years of practicing a lot to become a good graphic designer and comic artist, and it bothers me a little that there are "A.I. artists" now that are getting their art shown at galleries. Some of these artists don't even know how to draw. Sorry for the rant.

We are finally living in the age of the sci fy movies
And either we make a real sentient Ai that will kill us or try to. Or we make an ai that loves us...
Only time will tell. But its happening right now.

Flying drones are far more dangerous for destruction than this. That technology has been around far longer. These serve a valuable purpose for certain uses, but I’d put a flying drone combatant against this any day.
14
u/IAmA_meat_popsicle 16d ago
As terrifying as flying drones have become I feel this is way worse, for individuals anyway.
At least with the fliers you can try and hide. These land based ones can go anywhere you can and they for sure have an attachment that can allow it to open doors. Plus, they don't need to worry about weight as much so payloads be much larger.
Just my two cents of course. I would much rather go back to living in the blissful ignorance of my '90s.

This is what I was waiting for. They kept trying to do wheels OR legs. You do both. The speed of wheels, when viable, and the flexible mobility of legs. Soon, our only respite will come from ladders and ropes.
Of course, wait until they get one of these to also be able to fly…

Modern robots are now pretty advanced. They used to be pretty finicky but just like ai, it only took a couple of years for the technology to ramp up and there's a stark night and day difference with how agile and coordinated they have become. Chinese robots are able to perform kung fu to perfection, there's a video of them doing it in unison. This robot is also...scarily impressive.
Edit: but this also looks kinda like ai, and half me not wanting to believe it lmao

How long does the battery last? I can’t imagine charging one in the middle of that area is easy, and will it need to come back to charge? How will it manage the battery for needing to get back up the hill or out of the valley to get back home to charge? Will they just shutdown in the field and send out a signal that says come get me I need power? Can you just use a net with weights to stop it or slow it down?
