Spot's got an arm (Boston Dynamics)
- Thread starter skrskg
- Start date
It's a real pity that society has a real aversion to preparing for vast swathes of people becoming jobless because of advances like these.
We're going to need to decouple "doing labour" from "being able to live", because pretty soon we're going to "innovate" our way out of most any labour. I'm all for sitting around and creating art or whatever, but if Covid has shown us anything, powerful people don't want any concessions for those who need to work to survive, even in they could all die or lose everything.

Robo did come from a line of murderous robots, so this checks out.
So it can open the door to get to me, drag my corpse to the backyard, dig the hole to put me in, and then write its victory message in my driveway. Even with all that I still want one.
Hopefully by that time society will have realized that the CEOs greatest lie isn't actually necessary for society and we won't have to ever worry about unemployment bc no one will NEED to work.
Yeah, I they''ve had different arm attachments earlier. This is new video released today, so I guess they've decided on which version to go with.
I think this is going to be one of the biggest mental hurdles for civilization moving forward. The instinctive way in which most people immediately equate "employment rate" with "social wellbeing" is going to be very hard to deprogram. Not coincidentally, also the biggest hurdle against adoption of UBI, which is the necessary solution for this problem.
Worker droids/robots are going to be expensive as fuck and only for the rich aren't they...
once they start rolling out the ana de armas-bot prototypes, these threads are going to be a lot less focused on tired robo-pocalypse jokes
Soon...
Yup, this is how Skynet got started.
We're fucked. LOL
why can't they ease in / out of transition mechanics.
WHY does it have to be that jarring ass clearly evil robotic jerk when its like "Target aquired." Would make all of our impending deaths a little easier on the eyes.
nice, they can dig mass graves on their own as well.

It looks a little more heavy-duty than the one they've showed before.
Honestly, besides all the "we're fucked" memes, it would be pretty damn awesome if they made one that was a bit smaller and more affordable. It could be like a roomba that picks up shit around your house. Or takes out your garbage or something.
Fuck, if they could make one that can shovel a driveway...
It would be a complete waste of money. A flying drone makes far more sense.
Robot dogs make pretty much no sense.
