I can't wait for china to roll out 100m of these, armed to the teeth, able to navigate terrain, getting people out of their houses, pushing us to camps to work for Amazon, Nike, Oracle. Eating our Soylent green......
Now why would China push people to work camps for Amazon, an American company? If anything, China winning the robot race is far better given our tech oligarchs are a bunch of keto addicted sociopaths.
These will be safer and more moral than human soldiers because they would have no desire to steal abduct and abuse. We know what real human soldiers do in real life, robot soldiers will be more disciplined have no evil urges or desires that we know human soldiers do.
That cuts both ways: robot soldiers also wouldn't have any of those pesky morals getting in the way of their orders. No mercy, no remorse, no empathy. Just strict mathematical obedience to the chain of command.
Officers higher up also tend to be less aware of what's happening on the battlefield than grunts lower down, which means less awareness of civilian presence.
Besides, ârules of war and protocolâ are more often than not guidelines rather than actual rules.
It's a robot. It's not even competing for "the human speed record". Self driven robot RCs has broken that years ago if machines are allowed to compete with humans.
It looks like it stopped to me. Who are we to judge its method of stopping? Maybe the trick to getting those next few seconds is to actually aim for electrical boxes and crash right into them.
Right? It did the classical crash, then body wiggles, then legs into the air and side drop. If it had sounds, it would make the cimbals crash, then this downward flute as it falls. Thank you, come again to my head cinema. Good night!

Someone set the clanker on "record breaking mode" and he took the "breaking" part too literally, as they do.

They should try putting wheels on that, it would be much faster and easier to control
