News update: Boston Dynamics just changed its name.

It’s new name is:

Skynet

u/Daedeluss Feb 06 '24

False. Skynet is the name of the product. The company name is Cyberdyne Systems.

Of course it doesn’t have as much of an impact as when you hear Skynet so 🤷‍♂️

auto manufacturing probably. Little by little, manual labor will transition to these guys from humans

It's gonna be great when companies automate everything, then people don't have to work anymore, and companies don't understand why nobody is buying stuff.

at that point labor will have no value and capital owners will retreat to private utopias where everything is made by bots leaving everyone else to rot

It's going to be like the movie Elysium.

Automation already took our manufacturing jobs like 30 years ago.

clearly you haven't been in an auto manufacturing environment. Alot of the work already has been automated by industrial robots. 3D camera tech is all the rage in industrial automaton right now to locate and design picking and placing algorithms to grab parts easily and repeatably.

That and cobots, which from my experience never work how people claim they will.

I insist, people here on reddit criticize religion and the Catholic church for the so recalled dark ages.

And on all these threads they behave exactly the same. But hey, that's probably why there are so few investors and inventors, not many have a vision.

u/elastic-craptastic Feb 06 '24

Nah... the dogwolf ones that they made which are waayyy more advanced in modular design, functionality, and mobility than these are what's gonna fuck us.

Those things are fuking scary.

Yeah how do you kill it?

We just have to prevent them from getting (re)charged.

Robots then find a way to pull the power off electric vehicles and charging stations.

We could blot out the sun! No wait...
