#robots #robotics #ai #artificialintelligence #bostondynamics
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.
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.
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!
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.
The Fully Electric Atlas Robot? F.E.A.R.? Perfect.
I'm kinda freaked now.

Sorry, but BD isn't a competitor to Tesla, it is the industry standard Tesla will struggle to meet. They were barely on track to catch up to HD Atlas, but yesterday's new robot is just an inkling of how far ahead BD really is. Meanwhile every Optimus demo needs to be scanned for the trickery because Tesla has zero credibility after prior stunts.
Yup, I wouldn't trust a single thing Tesla puts out given their releases thus far.
Is Figure 01 a competitor to Boston dynamics?

@@theokushmerek1616YES I FOUND THIS COMMENT
The only reason that replacing human workers with robots is a problem is that our economic system requires you to have a job to survive.
That is very true!
A Robot tax could solve a lot of these problems because you would have a lot of money to give humans for "free" then but which country will start to tax companies for their robots if these companies will just go to another country with "tax free robotic use here" ads... that's the problem, the world has to find a solution together or companies will just change the countries where they operate more often then we change our underwear
Work gives meaning to a lot of peoples' lives. It's not just about making money, it's about knowing that you are being productive. That you are adding to the world and not just taking from it.
@@justinlong5892 for the vast majority of people, it's about the money, and remaining housed, fed, and clothed. Most people, especially in the kinds of jobs that these robots would be used for, would rather do something else than work all day for a steadily shrinking paycheck.

They say it is the first impression that lasts the longest. So maybe not have it introduce itself with the Exorcist emote 😄
Everybody be chillin till the ring go red
Exactly. Ring go red and suddenly it's holding a fricken laser beam 😧
Yep, or chasing you down the street with a machine gun for some real or imagined "offense"
A biped worker being able to turn around on virtually no space is something that was reserved completely to humans until now. Once more, Boston Dynamics have catapulted in front of the field.
We should replace CEOs with these guys too
Nah these guys are not narcissistic enough to be CEOs
A robot would run most entertainment companies better. All we need to do is to let it approve things that the majority of consumers enjoy so we don’t have another Velma.
Once the battery issue is resolved these will be both amazing and terrifying.
imo this is now the official worlds first "droid" the way it moves is just an unreal leap
I saw 'Fully electric..', and I was like, 'What, the old versions were diesel powered?'
Oh sweet liberty... Cue flashback to Malevelon Creek...
Exciting times ahead!! 🤩🤩🤩
Exactly, instead of fearing this technology and creating panic we should embrace it and take advantage of it.
Yes very excited to meet my new Robot Overlord..
@@privateuser2283option one, you're being facetious. If so, the humor is lost. option two, you're just naive and inexperienced. Most likely. I've lived in communities where all basic human needs are met without need for labor...free housing, free healthcare, free heating, free groceries, and a small financial allowance to boot. They are not utopian paradise. Instead they are crime ridden and filled with physically and sexually abusive teens and adults of both genders; the result of the ennui of unearned comfort. Despite what some academics and politicians would have you believe, people in luxury do not then choose to spend their time in creative energies. A man doesn't truly appreciate food until he's been hungry, life until it's been nearly taken from him, nor a rest unless he's labored. A person's value has been, is, and always will be, what he or she earns, not possession by gifts.

That is not what would happen. Think of the shareholders. We can't continue to employ base humans as it is more profitable to employ Atlas

Why not more like
This isn't anything like that as of yet; the robot in question isn't AI operated.
@Solotocius yet. Multi-modal Ai will become a staple of these machines, or else there is no point in building them. Programming a bunch of tasks into them makes no sense if they cant adapt to/ improve on varying circumstances.

I love the design of it, simple yet quite cool
The antenna is incredible
What reassures me a little more is the fact that the battery life is probably still unusable for independent use outside the laboratory at the moment. How long does the battery last for the sensors, actuators and computer power? Maybe an hour, certainly not more like two.
The Cylons are emerging. All this has happened before, and it will happen again. :-p
I have been waiting my whole life for the future.
Super, we now have Terminator 2
I. Robot came out 20 years ago. 2004. I remember seening that and thinking no way we would a have full standing walking robot for a long, long time. I was wrong.
Quite a ways from that, but I think the same fate is coming
Upload my consciousness already!
I’d like to see Boston Dynamics ‘emergency shutdown procedure’ for their AI robots getting smart and deciding they don’t want to do boring, dangerous, or repetitive tasks
That thing will be able to crawl through the air vents when it comes for us.
I'm as creeped out as I was the first time I saw spot mini open a door. Terminator prototypes
We need robot proof doors... and raptor proof ones too.
It’s happening!
Yes! That's the kind of joints. Forward, backward ... same thing.
I would happily relocate to work with Boston Dynamics.
Not a Starwars future a Terminator future.
why not both?
Probably something in between. What's scary, are not the robots, it's what kind of humans could get access to advanced robots in the future.
Star Wars did have assassin droids and battle droids. So, a Star Wars future wouldn't be all sun shine and rain bows.
What's the battery life, 10 minutes? And does the computations happen outside the robot and at a server nearby, via the radio link?
For some reason a server controlled hive mind feels even more alarming (skynet)
@@BloodHassassin I'm thinking you need a massive computer do to the sort of computations this thing needs to do and that uses up a huge amount of power and space. If it was me I'd be controlling it remotely. And yes, these things look scary, especially if you put a gun in its hand.
I need one of those, love it.
The next business opportunity would be forming a company with expertise in destroying or disabling these things.
I wonder when the first bipedal AI robots will do a dangerous house-search weapons in hand. What a time to be alive.
Surprised the police or Israelis haven't used those dog like robots for that.
"likely containing cameras behind the glass" as you can clearly see all the cameras behind the glass. Not "likely"... it "does have"
The new Atlas reminds me of Hal 9000 from "2001 A Space Odyssey". Try examining the camera face in each.
I want to see inline-skate-foot spot versions. It'd be so wicked to see it just glide along, maybe hit some gaps... now that would be awesome.
This one seems to beat Tesla Bot by a huge margin ... Based in how it walks and speed.
They only showed the older Type 1 Tesla bot in this video but there’s a better Type 2.

I appreciate the multiple reminders that these are taking away peoples' jobs. I find them fascinating, as most people do, but am troubled more and more about their negative impact on the job market, and ultimately the economy.
@@SentientSingularity Many people would become despondent, not feeling any sense of purpose. Living a never-ending vacation isn’t likely as wonderful as it sounds. But yes, preferable to poverty. Rich corporation owners may just get richer anyways, as poverty persists nevertheless, with UBI never providing an adequate living wage

Minimum wages have become unsustainable. This is the solution.
@@user-fz4sw8lh8j I hope you're not under the illusion that these robots will take on the hard jobs and let people enjoy their lives in comfort.

@@Ruzzky_Bly4tit the Robots and AI is Advanced Enough they will replace humans - even if only a third of all Jobs Are replaced (its Even enough if for example a programmer can do the work with advanced AI what used to be Work for 10 programmers- so the jobs dont Even need to be replaced fully )- The economic System will completly Crash if Even one third or all Jobs will be replaced
They aren't going robotics for the safety of workers they're doing it to not have to pay them or fear them joining a union
@Ammopoint why would it stop at boring repetitive jobs. As it gets more and more advanced, they could literally mass produce technicians, engineers of all types in days.
To really squander the public’s goodwill and acceptance gained from a decade of dancing robot promos, they should make it crawl like the girl from The Ring then have the light on its head turn blood red. Good job Boston Dynamics

Thank God they finally came out with an “All Electric” robot. Having to drive one to a gas station for a fill up is just too cumbersome.
Haha. Do you understand what this is about?
The head of the new robot reminds me of the robot in the Love and Monsters movie. It's exactly the same.
Tesla is a joke when compared to Boston Dynamics. Tesla is shown in the videos like this only because of the hype, not because of what their "robot" can do.
BD has huge engineering experience with all the work they have done. Tesla can't easily beat that.
