Boston Dynamics robots. Incredible and alarming in equal measure.
Fascinating to see an almost 50-50 split in reactions to this from the ‘alarming’ appalled camp to the ‘incredible’ and enthralled group. I’m torn between them. It’s all in how it’s used & what they’re programmed to do of course.That rests as always with what humanity determines.
Are these robots:-
One thing’s for sure, no robot could or would ever get into the rabbit hole of some of the angry side debates this post generated. 😅
There are so many interesting views on this. But one view is palpably false - this footage isn’t ‘fake’. Incredible how some people think this - I suppose it’s the ‘moon landings were fake’ crowd along with the 5G magnetic vaccine / Microsoft mob. Oh dear me. 🤦🏻♂️ #idiocracy
‘Deadly precedent’ currently building a comfortable lead against ‘vital scientific advance’ on the poll. Very strong opinions all round, keep ‘em coming and keep voting!
‘Deadly precedent’ and ‘vital scientific advance’ are now neck and neck in the poll. 👆
Main anti argument for this so far: misuse for military or policing purposes/tech in malevolent hands. Main pro argument made so far: applications for people with disabilities, spinal injuries, clinical science. Others include environmental clean ups, agriculture, bomb disposal.
The ‘vital science’ group have just overtaken the ‘deadly precedent’ group for the first time. Poll still open.
