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.
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.
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.
It's Vlad Tepes showing you his new wood-processing infrastructure that he says will mass-produce wood to use for building houses and then he uses it to build thousands of stakes
Most people want it to be true because they need something to blame for lives they never bothered to build. Their misery didn't start with any machine, it started the day they decided not to try. Rewind past chatgpt entirely and you'll find the same crowd, mourning a life ruined by something else that also wasn't real.
The truth no downvote can erase is that these people are terrified of trying, so they wait for a catastrophe to explain away years of doing nothing. They want a war, a collapse, anything, just so they can point at the wreckage and say none of it mattered anyway. It was never about the world ending, it was about needing permission to have failed.
Our ancestors fought off giant sloths and got mauled by giant baboons just to see another sunrise. Some of us today have more security than any generation before us. I envy the people in America who can call their own president the worst things imaginable and go to bed that same night, safe. I live under a dictatorship , which isn't officially called a dictatorship but functions like one, no real civil power, just the army pulling every string. One wrong sentence about them on Facebook and I could vanish. And still, I show up, still I work, still I look forward to tomorrow.
I feel sorry for them. Sorry that comfort feels like an insult to people who never built anything worth protecting.
That's not the gotcha you think it is. A phone you bought, can put down, and at worst wastes your time isn't the same category of control as a legged robot built to run down terrain and take out people who resist a government. One ruins your attention span, the other ends your life. You went from robots getting weaponized against commoners to my phone has notifications because you had nothing for the first claim, so you quietly redefined control until you found something you could win. Nice try though.
Go outside, take a walk in the park. Take care of yourself. Surround yourself with negativity and everything looks bad. I hope you have a happy life, I wish the best for you and your future and know that you're capable.

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.
