New Fully Electric Atlas Robot Revealed by Boston Dynamics

[@CNET]

CNET fans. I’m working on a video about the future weaponization of humanoid robots since there was such a huge visceral response from the audience about this new Atlas robot. What kind of issues and concerns should I research on the topic? Please add your concerns about the future of AI and Robotics. Sci-Fi culture has been warning us for a long time but now we have clearly reached a point where it’s becoming a reality, especially after the announcement of the consumer flame throwing dog robot for sale from Throwflame for $10k. Please respond with your thoughts.

[@ChristofferLund]

Try to figure out if using robots in warfare can save human lives. Just like bomb disposal robots save lives perhaps these robots can do that too. It seems likely that humanoid robots will kill fewer innocent people than drone strikes since they will have eyes on the area and be able to improvise. We definitely need laws in place to make sure governments don't use weaponised robots against their own citizens (Watch Elysium, lol), but also make sure that we don't stifle the innovation because we need robots to help us. Birthrates in western countries are going down. Who's gonna take care of us when we're older? I'd rather have a robot help me than be neglected because they are understaffed. Weaponized humanoid robots are not pure evil or pure good. Neither are non-weaponized humanoid robots. All I ask is that we don't play too hard on the fear part like some are doing already.

[@garyhundsrucker7771]

How about the nano robots they can put inside us that could be linked up to robots outside us. That could be a very helpful thing or very scary!

[@chaosfire321]

How about get into the idea that weaponized humanoids is a fear stoked by Terminator? Seriously, militaries want to kill things fast and efficiently. An FPV or loitering munition is far more likely to be the weapon of the future than an overengineered humanoid with an M16.

Unfortunately, in the late-capitalist society that is the United States, the profits of the increase in productivity brought by automation will only go to the capital owners, and not to the workers whose jobs have been replaced. In a humane society, the fruits of that automation (i.e. societal time savings) should be passed on to all members of society in the form of fewer working hours and equal pay, freeing up human minds to either go do more meaningful tasks that have not yet been automated and have more fun with our lives.

Oh sweet liberty... Cue flashback to Malevelon Creek...

Once again in ten years time 30 percent of manual jobs being lost to robots are these machines going to pay tax or like Amazon warehousing will pop up in some run down city and in six years leave and that city back to a crap and heavy poverty.

Building a Terminator, literally....

[@maezzologymedia14]

[@asimkasir]

[@바보Queen]

chinese will copy it and make it 10x cheaper and put boston dynamics out of business, just like they did the robot dog

[@Rockovissi]

If only they could make it look more threatening.

Change the hue of the ring light to red

[@zakblue]

just wait till they mount the arms with guns

[@ABW941]

They will ad a display which will show the face of jeffrey dhamer.

[@timthelamb]

The new Atlas reminds me of Hal 9000 from "2001 A Space Odyssey". Try examining the camera face in each.

[@mrki731]

Quite exciting!! Can't wait for the future to be there!!

[@Vartazian360]

Still this robot is not as impressive as LLM AI controlling robotics by themselves.

​@@js-gc2hku ok?

[@stickynorth]

Pretty sure they got the message now from both shareholders/owners/investors and the public. Great to see cool trick videos but we need real world robots and fast... Luckily there are dozens of robot makers working on them now with released scheduled in the next 24 months including Figure, Tesla, Sanctuary, Digit and now hopefully this one!

[@theskeletonboi]

Spot is very successful at doing this

[@alexander_sinclair]

Who is going to buy the products these robots are making when humans don't have jobs anymore?

[@techraan2160]

I noticed you only showed the Gen 1 of Tesla Bot

[@spaghettiboi33]

0:13 If you’ve played Budget Cuts, you just got a war flashback

[@AldrickExGladius]

Boston Dynamics just built the first robot to ever need an exorcism

[@eye4fun142]

This is the goofiest robot I’ve seen

[@Life_is_miraculus]

Yea i think it's intentionally made so this robot don't feel intimidating other companies like Samsung and LG are also making personal Robots as cute/hilarious as possible 😅

[@Ruzzky_Bly4t]

You haven't seen the Tesla Bot then

[@strider00111]

This is why the global elite are poising us. The robots will be able to replace a majority of the work.

[@DerBingle1]

Fully Electric? I was hoping it was coal and steam powered.

[@Emperorsblackbones77]

This is so Star Wars we have what look like protocols droids like c-3po

[@jefeg84]

Boston Dynamics, or... Skynet?🤔

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

Bosnet skynamics.

[@benzed1618]
