[@Bova-Fett]

Any robot intelligent enough to find videos like this and make judgement will be smart enough to understand that these were failed creations that would eventually lead to a successful prototype (that robot). Any emotions felt by humans would not be processed by the robot, who would think logically and understand that we aren't gods, we're just people smart enough to create artificial life.

[@cancer7579]

don't worry... robots in the future will probably live peacefully with us and will see these prototypes as inferior and were great sacrifices to create AI. and it will probably be like how we see in history that people have made sacrifices and we learned from those sacrifices so we don't do some dumb shit again. years from now a human and robot companion will see our comments and will say "that guy was true AF". and one more thing... i have no idea what i'm saying... i just got back to the ronald mcdonald house after a checkup and i took some kind of medication... i'm probably high or i am just retarded... anyway... what was i saying? oh, i am Chappie, i am alive.

[@nikoappsmuggred7220]

@@manictiger Just going to point out and say... to an extent, it's easy to make a robot self balance, given you use something like the HTC VIVE's laser tracking, but it will by far not be cheap nor easy to build a robot that can stand on its own legs, given it's weight and how much power those legs will need to move as fast.. also, slap on some gyros, proximity sensors and some real time RQ code readers on a bot with some arduous (apart from programming and engineering) you already have everything for the robot to know when/where it is and what orientation it is. Also this might not count, but i have made a robot, in Space Engineers, using gyros, proximity sensors and memory banks.. and overall the hardest part was building the damn legs and getting the space needed to store all the 'brains' which i opt out to store sepperately and controll wirelessly with a Wifi mod.

I think what people don't see is that for AI/robots to become dangerous they don't have to "realize" anything or gain consciousness. Think of what AI in a computer game can do to an average player. Now transplant that primitive game AI to a real world and equip it with weapons and, most importantly, a way to repair/regenerate/manufacture more units. You can already become a victim like some of those people who try to stop some mechanical contraption spinning out of control - no real intelligence needed to be raped by a powerful machine.
