Can it also roll over a student in Tienanmen Square?
Oh, we’re already at that Black Mirror episode?
I mean, we all knew this was the most likely one, but I was kind of hoping for the sexbots first.
Man I would love to see what security measures they put in place for these things. That better be amazing security or else it’s going to be some real bad news bears.
It’s 100% sure to shoot your ass, if that’s what you meant
Sorry China, you don’t win the coolness award, that goes to flamethrower robot dogs.
People worried about AI being used in warfare are at least 10 years too late
So Boston Dynamics is selling these to China or they made their own?
They’re making their own and selling them for about 2% of the cost of the Boston Dynamics version: This LiDAR-equipped 30-pound robot dog can be yours for $1,600 . How much of the technology was actually developed independently, I have no idea.
And according to the promotional video, it will pleasure you with a special dance.
1,600… wow
Yes, you can have your own robot attack dog for about the same price as a high-end gaming PC. Some assembly possibly required, and you’ll have to write your own attack software based on a manual poorly translated from Chinese (if you’re lucky), but what do you expect at that price point? 🤨
R&D costs are zero when you just steal someone else’s prints/software.
