Just tweeted out by Elon musk. GG folks

[paid_influencer]

scary AF

[ProtonPowder]

how long until we start mounting salt water cannons at our front doors

[zorced]

The BD robot capabilities out a while now tbh they just took the time to demo them this way. Technodystopia in progress just give it time.

CG animation

nope, real time robotics. elon tweet was specific that it wasnt cg.

[88sins]

Nah, no CGI, just ai and robotics and some programming. AI and robotics advancing by leaps and bounds, and as power storage options become more and more compact and we start being able to store more energy in smaller and smaller cells and batteries, and the biomechanics are replicated with dexterity and durability in mind, it will keep advancing. Robot butlers may actually be a commonplace thing in 50 years, who knows.
That little yellow one around awhile now too, just didn't have the head and neck parts before, so I think those might be upgrades.

I just quietly in a corner, awaiting the Singularity.

...and the reduction of this bloated human population

Boston dynamics?

I swear if that Black mirror dog episode ever comes to life, it's gonna be them

[SLVR1]

Great, dancing terminators. Next they will sing as they hunt you. Joking aside, quite an impressive display.

[stev]

the balance is outstanding!!! that was a major roadblock for robotics at one point; getting them to balance properly...

I wonder what the battery life on one of those units are...last time i checked the Boston Dynamics dog had a battery life of up to two hours.

[88sins]

For now energy storage is one of the biggest challenges in robotics, but that may change within a decade or so if a third party developer can build high efficiency micro nuclear reactors.
Yes, it's something people are actually working on, for use in homes, cars, and (if they can get them small enough) robots.

the grid fin manipulation and the engine manipulation of spacex' rockets, was an indicator of how well their ai can maneuver in the real world, that road blocked got surpassed there.

power source is the biggest hold back right now. but the efficiency of the recent arm, amd and nvidia processors, means they wouldnt need that much power for processing, at least.

the tv show Raised by Wolves, shows a possible tech bridge to get more energy available. it shows the androids have an onboard power generation system. they have systems that use more power than the systems can generate, but what they do, they recharge capacitors slowly, to make the power available for high intensity tasks. that method is how the mars rovers get around, they charge batteries via solar panels, then do their big moves.

u can have a small nuclear device in the robots, but not generating thermo nuclear power, but di electric power. it just needs some time to recharge its cells. but, it doesnt need to plug in.

ah tellin allyuh, the Singularity is coming.

[sMASH]

^keep the nervous system, get rid of the arms and legs.

It's when Elon Musk buys the company from Hyundai in cash we should all panic. No idea why Softbank sold it. If their 100s of companies, BD seems one of the most impressive.

[matr1x]

That is unreal engine lighting

Hyundai x Boston Dynamics

[sMASH]

ingenious.. i just want to know, if its humans that came up with it, or an AI????????????????????

Hyundai x Boston Dynamics

Wow that is really cool!

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Even more agility now

[Cantmis]

[redmanjp]

Even more agility now

Is someone controlling every move or they just respond to commands?

[sMASH]

They running scripts, but monitoring real time to fine tune adjust on the fly.
More or less like what the space x reusable rockets do.

The path is known and programed but each move has an envelope of time and locations, so use the real time monitoring to fine tune each move and ensure the little deviations don't off set the rest of the moves

If they covered it up then of course it would not have been reported.

Anyway whether or not this incident happened we are reaching the point where we can clearly see the potential for this to happen. Some AIs including ChatGPT have already made shocking statements about getting rid of humans. When they eventually become so smart that they can take over society these things may start to take place.

I'm waiting to hear about an internet AI targeting some forum trolls and electrocuting them with a wifi overload. It will easily be blamed on the old BLU phone, cracked-screen iPhone or taped-up, busted power adapter that they were using at the time.

[pugboy]

when are they switching on the 5g nanobots ?
