The continued aggressive sheer will of the US government to take every cautionary tale ever written and make it reality.
Here’s another cautionary tale.
DRONE | Animated short film about drones, AI, and live-streaming on YouTube
Anyone still remembers when they said they would never use dog robots for weapon/war purposes? I do. Things always age like milk and it’s unsurprising.
Anyone actually surprised? It was clear from the get go that this was where these bots were headed…

I know it’s the correct way to word it, but this sounds like rifles on robotic arms mounted on real dogs
Truly a weapon to surpass metal gear!
some style guides are really dumb and consider “a b-c d” to be “(a b)-(c d)”, as if a hyphen is less tightly binding than a space
Concidering we already have robotic birds dropping explosive on enemies in curren warfare, this really isn’t that big of a deal
Automation is the big deal. Drones have cameras so humans can make a (hopefully) informed disision to strike or not. When (read; now) the drone doesn’t need a camera because it can make the call without a human in the loop, we have removed a vital bottleneck.
The only thing that stopped WWI from being total war is that when we wipped out an entire generation, we needed time to grow more troops. If autonomous weapons being manufactured autonomously by autonomously constructed factories… whoever controled the drones could of conquered the world.
No, that assumes that resources and energy are unlimited. This is the main problem with any “grey goo” scenario.
And it wasn’t people being killed that stopped WW2. People are killed in every war. The defensive weaponry was more powerful than the offensive weaponry. Machine guns were only used on defense because they were heavy. Also, artillery was not mechanized so it was hard to move everything forward quickly.
Not to mention millions or even billions of robotic drones that monitor us all.
We’re now a step closer to making dogs with BBs in their mouths and when they bark they shoot BBs at you.
I’m waiting for them to unleash Metal Gear
Now make a robo dinosaur.
do you want horizon zero dawn? Because that’s how you get horizon zero dawn
We’re getting it, the only question is do you want dinosaurs or dogs?
yes.
Only if they start self-replicating.

Imagine a mobile gun controlled by ChatGPT 3.5. 😐
Only thing shocking about this is that it took this long. Any drone capable of carrying a weapon was going to get one. I mean, look at Ukraine right now. Consumer drones with soda bottle improvised explosives and cardboard drones. I can see a future where most warfare is drone vs drone, to see who can hit the other’s supply lines / storage first.
The way Russia’s turtling with illegal mines, drones are basically one of the only ways to attack without taking massive losses while also moving slowly and being sitting ducks for artillery.
I recently visited the Boston Museum of Science where they have one of the Boston Dynamics robodogs on display, and they did a live demo with q&a. All I could think of the whole time was that one black mirror episode…
the tracking darts that embed in your body are nice and good
Atlas’s brothers are in the making. The are searching for a proper name … any suggestions?
So, how soon is it until they cram ChatGPT, Tensorflow, and a few others into this thing and actually make a Terminator?
Also, let me know if anyone sees any naked dudes crawl out of some lightning balls.
