the robots first overtook farmers. the farmers fled to the factories to work. the robots then overtook factories. the workers fled to service based industries. service based industries will be obsolete by robots in a few years.
where will they go next? truck drivers and mcdonalds workers? (both are roughly the same level of intelligence).
Wow. This is really cool. Some really good control algorithms at work. Absolutely smooth.
Blake Powell
yes. i agree very impressive
Jaxon Powell
Robot is just a robot, not very scary by itself. What is scary is robot autonomy and it's decision making process. Looks cool tho.
Adam Butler
>can't rape sage
Dominic Price
>mcdonalds workers? Hopefully. I completely stopped going there although I liked the Big Tasty Bacon. These filthy fucking brown foreigners working at the grills can't into hygiene and probably spit on the meals or worse.
why would that happen? did factory owners share their profit? did we all own their factories? no UBI is a meme
Evan Lewis
>Robots in service industry
Maybe busing/ waiting tables, but HVAC/ Plumbing/ electrical service, not anytime soon.
Ethan Green
Some scary facts: most office and government jobs can be easily automated with our current tech just by cutting out bureaucracy and creating programs of moderate complexity.
David Brown
WOOOW 20 years of constant work and updates and it can walk on a pre-programmed path while connected to giant stabilizing cables at 1/1000th the speed of a human! I'm terrified!!! Please. An auto targeting turret will be more useful than this hunk of junk for the next 100 years.
Robert Myers
This, there is a new automatization revolution coming and white collar jobs will get hit just as hard as the blue collar ones
Eli Sanchez
They will be culled from existence by the people who invented the shit
John Turner
It's almost like they make them to be creepy on purpose.
Chase Phillips
we've had this shitty wobbly hydraulic actuator tech since the mid-80s. show me something good instead.
Zachary Edwards
its not pre programmed. also, that 300+lb robot can run and do standing back flips.
Ethan Martin
This will mean a fuckload of people will be put out of jobs, eventually, what happens then?
>fucking advanced I can build that in my fucking garage. The only difference between Boston Dynamics and a TOMY Robot Butler is marketing, don't be fooled faggot.
>inb4 robot kidnapping Could you just steal one? lmao
Jaxson Flores
Automation only effects the stupid, poor, and the NPCs.
Jack Sanchez
I mean, it's not necessarily catastrophic as long as we actively plan for it, like sort of japan did, but if we don't yeah, we're gonna get a fuckload of beggars in the streets who are homeless
I don't think that will cover the whole portion of people going out of jobs
Gabriel Price
ok. build it and live stream. paste the link here. tell me your youtube channel. do it right now.
whe n you see those videos you can realize how things we do all the time inconsciously are actually fucking complicated, allocating the weight and all all the corrections according to different grounds suppots, winds etc... these guys are doing some serious work. and i bet they are very far from something near finished to be actually useful, minus very basic things in a controlled environment
its not pre programmed and those are power cables not stabilizing cables. The spinny gyroscope is what stabilizes
Colton Miller
We're fucked
Brayden Gutierrez
The spinny thing in the head is a laser scanner. Today's gyroscopes are tiny.
Hunter Sanders
I'm surprised that thing doesn't just fall over. Looks really top heavy
Cooper Roberts
Based African men and women making cutting edge tech.
Oh wait, its white males again.
Julian Russell
Just watch a toddler learn to walk. They take months of patient practice and little else to train for their first steps. Walking only looks easy when you've already mastered it
William Stewart
They tend to fall over. Mimicking nature is very difficult. This was a great cherry picked vid of nothing going wrong.
Jordan Johnson
I wonder how long it can run at a similar load on internal power. Can't be more than half an hour. Sadly this makes the autonomous locomotion a bit unexploitable.
Joseph Cruz
>An auto targeting turret will be more useful than this hunk of junk for the next 100 years.
Imagine being this fucking stupid. What you're seeing is pic related. The hard stuff was turning it from theory to a working prototype. Things are going to get crazy from here on.
imagine having one of those are your private home security. what if it evolved to achieve Artificial intelligence and looked you up on facebook, and decided you should die.
Daniel Foster
that would happen because when there is no work for anyone the government either abolishes private property or we cut their heads
innovation is the capitalist way to communism
Jace Mitchell
People make auto-targeting turrets in their bedroom now, Chang. There's probably a platform to do that via visual programming now, with nice colorful blocks. Samsung has been making them for over a decade.
Kevin Brown
fake and gay that's some poorly made chink robocopy
They released Atlas as a platform for devopment, you stupid nigger.
Owen Brown
some of you fat retards fail to understand that technology is the evolution of man and cannot be stopped. as we grow, so does our tech. it is inevitable that AI/Robots will be real one day and every persons job is at threat. You boomer fat idiots talking about gun turrents as being more useful are fucking stupid. Everything starts out as a simple prototype to get a function beta, then its finetuned over a long time. Add in AI that can finetune it for you, finding the best solutions in design, and that time is cut in half.
Jacob Long
>and then one day for no reason at all the robots decided to eliminate the human race
>truck drivers and mcdonalds workers? So is Boston Dynamis making 3000 mile long umbilical cables for the RoboTruckers?
Christopher Mitchell
So they’re back to umbilicals - does that mean the power draw is to great or is it tethered for data capture?
Daniel Baker
no job is safe
Lucas Myers
Unironically they did in Libya until they were bombed back to the Stone Age.
Blake Gonzalez
Not this one, it’s fucking tethered. The other ones can which makes me think there’s new tech here. What’s the spinning thing?
Brody Gomez
You may have but the Boston stuff is genuinely scary. The fact this is tethered in 2019 indicates more complexity.
Sebastian Johnson
look you fat idiot. If you can't understand what this fucking means in the near future, you are a dolt. This isn't a tamagachi pets fad by like 1 or 2 dudes in a dormroom. This is going to change the game and truck drivers will be gone also. Just because you drive a truck doesnt make you special. In fact, your shit is already being automated first.
Evan Campbell
>retard. The post
Daniel Thomas
Or they gulag us
Jaxson Stewart
>the star trek option >WW3 followed by a hundred years of depression and poverty and then a Eugenics war
David Hall
Can’t the trucks power the robots? Have you no sunshine?
John Miller
Hello my friend good sirs, please check out these out:
so you act similar to a muslim or a nigger? typical
Carson Harris
I can't wait for fully automated robot death squads. Everyone below 100 IQ is going to die and I won't have to feel disgusted every time I go to the store and see people who have long lost their inhibition and peaked intellectually decades before.
Don't worry. The Jews sold it to the nips. So your robot overlords will be waifus and not golems
Luis Bailey

(both are roughly the same level of intelligence). Nowhere. There will be a big cull in the population through the means of nuclear war. It's inevitable: nature will balance itself out by removing the unnecesary population.
Parker Ross
the world is fucked up, humanity has fallen, if the machines take control I do not care anymore, nothing can be worse than how things are now
Thomas Campbell
>no obese, stinky, rapist / mass murdering driver... I could not help thinking about high-jacking wiseguys overtaking, pulling in front of the truck, slowing it and making it stop in some desert somewhere, unloading 100 70 inch 4K flatscreen TVs, and then pissing off to flog it at half price on the black market.
they could give it a 30 minute runtime if they just used 50lbs of current lthium ion batteries. once they refine the AI itll run at 40mph and skip over those obstacles without missing a step. it would take 2 minutes to chase your ass down with IR eyes and other motion sensors.
Jordan Lopez
they invented nuclear reactors to get material for nukes they invented electric car meme for getting battery pack for war robots.
Brayden Mitchell
>Star Trek route
Star Trek takes place in a universe that has a nucelar war and a Eugenics wars that kill billions where the few elite ultra enhanced humans battle for global supremacy, with everyone one else getting massacred.
Cooper Thompson
K. Unless Boston Dynamixlc is gonna make a fuckable fembot, hard pass. Military robots, which I had some mk1mod0 time with were...well. Pass.
