Not gonna lie. It’s gonna be terrifying having a squad of these with machine guns hunting us all down when they run amuck.
And who would supply them during their killing spree?
If there’s money to be made, then probably any defense corporation in the US.
If I had to guess, here’s a couple: Northrop Grumman Lockheed Martin Raytheon Technologies
Raytheon would be on that shit so fast lol
They tried to recruit me out of college and admittedly the job, pay, and benefits all sounded really cool apart from the whole contribution to the killing people.
Couldn’t quite square that one.
Halliburton
Considering battery life: Hide for an hour or two until they run out of juice.
James Cameron is losing his shit
They will probably be easily defeatable with the right strategies, but that doesn’t mean a lot of people won’t die.
This is more about China’s fear of it population crash than it does some movie SF future. They are rightly worried their economy will not survive the loss from a working age population in decline.
China steels itself for labour shortfalls, demographic decline with industrial robots
yeah I mean japan has been pushing this type of thing for decades I think.
Schezwan Green is people.
Haven’t we seen enough sci-fi movies to know that having creepy humanoid robots hanging around is a bad idea. They should all look like Bender from Futurama or Marvin the paranoid Android
Science fiction.
You watch too many movies.
The only reason Elon Musk isn’t the king of comically over-optimistic timelines is because the Chinese government exists.
i think it unlikely that we’re going to have quite the level of disruption from this technology that people seem to be expecting. navigating real-world environments to perform tasks that need a human-shaped body is so far from solved i don’t think we’re likely to see it in our lifetimes. best i can see this doing is providing something like mobile kiosks, and perhaps remote controlled human-shaped robodrones for a few niche types of work
I am in favor of replacing most world leaders with robots.
Why do they have dildos on their heads? Never mind. I figured it out.
Look, I don’t wanna be that guy but the age of man is almost over! If we continue this path, I think skynet or Faro (from horizon zero dawn) is within the possibilities!
Just putting out there, just in case these Lemmy servers are found 10.000 years from now, they are gonna say: yeah this one was right!
