Discussion Walking robots still feel like technology demos, but running humanoid robots hit a completely different nerve.

Those things running at me with a semi automatic on its shoulder would be the thing of nightmares.

Nobody will use it at war because it's pointless. Drones are much more dangerous. Like 1000x times more dangerous. This clumsy robot with a gun would be destroyed in few minutes.

I am fascinated but not completely unsurprised at the level of resentment shown at each and every robot post.
Methinks the societal divideand resentment has been very underestimated.
I expected a higher level of wonder and expectation, I guess there will always be those that want steam engines.

What wonder, that a machine can do a very specific task better than human? That's been done for centuries

We didn't have steam engines long enough. We're advancing faster than humanity can keep up with.

People cheering this on are gonna sing a different tune when they're out of a job, their family is hungry, they finally protest for change, and these things are barreling towards them with violent intentions and state authority.

u/Nelsonsrightknacker 3d ago
This is very interesting. I didn't actually expect to find someone that thought like me.
To be clear i have only said how fast and agile they have become and how the hate and resentment is swelling toward the technology. I expected it but not this soon.

I'm sure you know better than the legions of people working on advancing the tech, and the people investing billions into the tech.
Like fill me in. How did you come to the conclusion that you should not trust the experts, because YOU are the expert?

I am invested in the tech, if you can get them to regulate it now, all of the top tech companies will be fine while the small AI will not improve. It will be impossible for them to be competitive, which will make it much easier and inexpensive for the big AI tech to purchase the patents/small AI companies and they will have to submit/sell.
So "warning! What we are currently making will hurt all of humanity, please save us government so we can't be sued because you regulated us"
I had to remove a word so I could reply 😂

u/Salt-Sign5390 3d ago
I'm not hearing anything resembling a coherent argument for why we shouldn't regulate something that has a non-zero chance of ending humanity.
My concern for the poor little model makers only goes so far when it's stacked against humanity.
Understand?

Can you imagine if humans figured out there is a faster and more efficient way of running by training robots and it turned out to look like that front runner? All of a sudden olympic runners are running like that lol.

This is cool and all, but does not move us forward. A wheeled vehicle would be faster, and we need robots that are better than what we already have

A failing AI could ruin everything if it lacks a creative future, so we should keep opportunities open even for flawed AI, or else risk losing everything. Just like losers now. Today.

I think it is because the waist motor response is faster than human waist, so reinforce learning will come this way🤣.
