Boston Dynamics - Do You Love Me?

article image placeholderDo You Love Me?
They posted the caption that the crew got together to celebrate the start of what would be a happier year. Happy New Year to everybody from Boston Dynamics and what follows is truly remarkable, but also for me kind of horrendous and terrifying and dystopian. And like an episode of Black Mirror, they have a couple of their robots and I believe the dog is involved with this as well

This is both hilarious and also unsettling at the same time 😂 https://youtu.be/fn3KWM1kuAw

Uh....

Like, I feel like, what if one of those robots wanted to dance with me and then stepped on my foot and didn't understand that they hurt me? Like, what would that be like? It's just crazy. I don't even know what to say. I think this, well, conversation should be a bunch of people just going, maybe it's the swell conversation that has no articulation, and we're all just fumbling for words because we don't have them

@DBPardes

That's sort of how I feel. Deb, you kind of hit the nail on the head with that one. I mean, I don't know if there's much to say. I mean, on the one hand, the innovation is obviously astounding and the fact that this is something a bunch of people that we're able to create with their minds, it's just remarkable. But there's that part of me that goes down that horrible route of the Terminator scenario

Awesome!

Yeah. Guys, I watched a video earlier today and yes, freaking amazing. Always love to see when they drop these videos of what they've been working on. And honestly, I think the last great barrier for probably is going to be the power source for these guys. I think once we get a huge innovation, I think they're using lithiumion batteries, lithiumion. Once they figure out the power supply issue, I think there will be huge innovations here as well as in electric cars going forward
