I bet they would also be really expensive to make and hilariously impractical in actual combat so the military-industrial complex should love them. Making overly expensive poo poo that doesn't work right and gets our soldiers killed is like our military's M.O.

Really glad we don't have to worry about giving killer robots reasons to kill all humans. Cant wait we can make them feel pain as we push them over with sticks and kick them.

Then we can give them a brain and make them remember all the times we kick and push them with sticks. Nothing bad will happen ever.

after seeing the montage video and realizing it's ALL THE SAME GUY i get the impression that they didn't ask him to do this, he's just sadistic and started doing it and because he is the toughest looking guy at the company, nobody ever told him to stop.

this.. is the future and im scared :stonk:
Obvious problems they still haven't solved:

1) it still moves around by just blindly stomping at an even pace like Big Dog did. it can't stand still, and makes no attempts to plan out how to step when terrain isn't perfectly even. it just stomps.
2) again, it just stomps. it can't walk like a person because someone forgot to give it some kind of articulated toes.
3) when it falls over it makes no attempt to move its arms out in front of it. this probably immediately jumped out at everyone who watched the video.

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?

it wasnt war crimes it was just a glitch in the software. worst case some nerds get fired

governments are going to love this poo poo once they get a taste of it

If it can't grab something to hold itself up and doesn't need to protect its face, why would it need to move its arms out in front?

i have a "creative" job, so i might get to keep my job a little longer. eventually machines will be able to simulate human imagination and emotion and i'll be out on my rear end eating rats with you guys.

or the advertising money that pays my salary will dry up fast because ad budgets are one of the first things businesses cut when times are hard. then i'll be out there sucking dick for cash before you guys.

don't worry, you won't lose your job. once they invent an AI that is intelligent enough to replace a politician we will all get universal welfare and socialism.

i feel that politicians will be replaced before advertisers
