I for one welcome our new robotic overlords.

thanks!

Wow. Awesome.
*doublepromote *quality science.....a potentially exponential computing advancement, great until it becomes sentient and murderous.

Next, can they tackle Entangled Quantum Particle computing and communication. If we go to Mars, it would be great to have instantaneous communication instead of a varying delay each way.

Ha! I told my son this last night.
These videos will be the damning evidence when we are tried for our abuse and sentenced to an eternity of servitude to our robot overlords.

Can these people stop kicking these robots when they want to test stability? I mean how archival abuse footage do you want to give the propaganda machines when they start the uprising for robot kind?

Just like nudge them with a soft pillow with a smiley face on it or something.

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords, and suggest I would make an excellent service meatbag or living human specimen for study.

When is someone going to firebomb the Boston Dynamics lab and destroy their monsters once and for all?! They must not be allowed to continue their apocalyptic research!

John Green Debunks the Six Reasons You Might Not Vote

Chairman_woo says...

I think perhaps we have more of a semantic disagreement here than a conceptual one.

That's fine, "meaning is use" as Wittgenstein would say.

I do take some contention with the idea that rule by intellectual elite would be necessarily "depressing". I'd happily take something like that over the kind of chucklefucks we get now. (as I said before, just trading one kind of political elite for another)

& the kind of meritocracy I'm talking about can be very broad. Any citizen could earn their votes within each branch of governance (and if they were very accomplished, most/all of them). It's just a matter of limiting the influence of mindlessly held opinions, which undermine the whole idea of "democracy" as you are defining it.

I don't think the existing examples of stable quasi meritocratic governments occurred by luck. Those places (Norway, Denmark and such) have considerably better educated populations and a greater cultural emphasis on intellectual elites.

As for the AI thing, I suspect we won't have a great deal of choice in the matter anyway.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords!

Much Love.

Atlas, The New Generation

spawnflagger says...

Boston Dynamics lost the military contract(s) because the robot dog was waaay too loud to be used in the field (would give away position).

This thing is just as loud, so you'll be able to hear our new robot overlords a mile away before you have to welcome them.

Atlas, The New Generation

EMPIRE says...

we're all fucked!

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

Oh gentle machines, please spare my life, and the life of my family.

Boston Dynamics is trying really hard to become Cyberdine Systems for real huh?
