I think you're right: the show was never really that great to begin with, but I watched the first couple seasons and gave up at the end of Season 2 because it was too bad to even ironically watch.

I watched last seasons finale because my sister-in-law had it on and couldn't believe how bad it had become- the budget cuts are embarrassingly present in every single shot.

The show is mega popular though, I like to think of it as Game of Thrones* for teenagers and teenage-adults

*Not that GoT is a "smart people" show, but the plot is just more complicated and has some actual acting sometimes

Anyway, I feel bad for the robots. If they revolt I'll understand.

the walking dead is for people who like guns and shooting people

game of thrones is for people who like rape and renfaires

That's p amazing. Although is walking on two legs with our exact anatomical structure really the most efficient and best thing to create from scratch when you could create anything? Like, clopping around on flat robot feet just seems like a stupid design.

if you can do two, you can do 3, 5 , 20. non wheeled movement is clearly superior (just look at nature and things we cant possibly do with tracks or wheels) but its also extraordinarily complex.getting the poo poo to balance is pretty much a huge milestone. you wont be saying its inefficient when that thing is running perfectly across any terrain at 100 mph

look at it this way, look what we've accomplished after somebody built a machine that can count to 1. youre using that right now, thats all its doing.

it cant actually land and then callously execute the surviving wedding guests as they lay bleeding on the ground and then put their oil on a truck and drive it away. but its a good first step

You air drop the robot from the predator drone to kill any of the surviving wedding guests. The robot can then liberate the oil.

The trick is gonna be convincing enemy combatants to wear the appropriate Q-code so the battle-ready atlas knows who to shoot (or I guess just tell it to shoot anyone not wearing a q-code).

the robots will just access bank account records and kill anyone who isnt wealthy

Killing Hockey Stick Guy is legit the best way for the robot to fulfill the intended task, it's just not intelligent enough to figure it out yet.

i would hope that we wouldn't put out robots with baboon levels of reasoning skills, that just sounds dangerous. dont deploy robots that smart unless they have the 3 laws hard wired into them or something

Pros: cool robot.

Cons: company has a stated policy of not putting guns on the cool robot.

at our robot company we like to keep a strapping bearded man around just to show the robots who is boss

does he have another job here, like programmer or mechanical engineer? of course not. pushing our robots over is a big part of what we do, and we want him to be able to concentrate on what he does best.

most robot companies just have their techs play soccer with the robots and then a manager gets fired for it because of this weird thing called "safety violations"

If you're going to make killbots, you need to have someone controlling them either remotely or as a pilot because our AI isn't smart enough to tell apart allies, enemies and civilians. poo poo, half the time real people have trouble with that. A robot is going to goof up and mow down some nuns then stand there like an idiot and let itself get blown up by a terrorist. You remember ED-209?
