That Moment...

Welcome to WF.... Where we go from Creatures of the Night... to Crystal Pony's tale.

 

It's been around since Fallout 3 (Not sure about the Originals, I don't think so) anyways, in Zeta they try to turn them into killing machines. I need to play some Fallout 4 again.

OH My, i'll keep that in mind. LOL.

 

"It's pets... without the poop!"

I think I need to add this to my Tinder profile.

 

Humanity is fucked!!!!

 

They got something predatory in the way they duck and move... way too smooth for robots. This is disconcerting.

 

I think they had to teach themselves how, so they're not as efficient as they will be...

 

But then, arm-bot would still have to block the door somehow so it can let go of the handle and walk through. Of course, the other bot could've kept it open for arm-bot then but this is pretty advanced stuff. Having one AI decide on an action that will save the other a motion or two. And why should it anyway, when arm-bot is able to handle the problem on its own? If nothing else, whether it's overengineered or not depends on what goal the creators wanted to achieve.

(edit for language slip)

 

How long before Boston Dynamics is hauled before the Supreme Court and required to convince everyone that they're not building an army with which to take over the world?

 

A) They're under contract from DARPA to do just that.
B) Don't think there's any constitutional issue at play.
C) That bunch of geriatrics checked out of technology before the invention of the toaster-oven, they'd have no clue about the facts involved.

 

That moment when everyone at work is chanting "COME ON ENGLAND! COME ON ENGLAND!" and you're seriously tempted to do the Viking Thunderclap to show them all what a REAL football chant sounds like.

 

That sounds like an STD one could get in Scandinavia.

 

Maybe I'm the only one, but I found them kinda endearing. The ones without hands were like cyberdogs. A cross between cute and eerie when it looked at the camera though. They should go the full way and disguise them as actual dogs, then no one would be any the wiser...

I feel a story idea coming on...

 

Million dollar dog

 

He couldn't have gotten through the door if he was stuck behind it, holding it open. I thought this approach was ingenious!

 

It climbs stairs too...

 

I love them - I always feel bad when I see the videos of them getting beat up...

 

Cyberbullying on a whole new level. If we keep doing shit like this to them, we can't be complaining when the robots eventually rise up and annihilate the human race.
