    There are no bad robots, only bad programers.

      Yeah, tbh I'm annoyed at myself about how cute I find it given that giant versions of these with mounted .50 cals and grenade machine guns will probably be on most street corners in like 10 years

    When I first heard about the release of Spot, I was kind of overwhelmed by it and decided to watch through Boston Dynamics' video tutorials for operating the unit (available on YouTube).

    What surprised me most about those vids is how intuitive and simple Spot's operation is. I know the real complications come from developing some specialized use for Spot, but walking it up stairs and general mobility don't seem to be difficult at all.

    However, for how sleek this robodog is, the many pinch points around the legs and joints are very dangerous 😬

    I think this is gonna be a new generational difference, zoomers who dont mind robits vs blackpilled millenials who want to smash the sinister fuckers and melt them down for scrap.

    Dawn. You creep cautiously up the stairs past your sleeping comrades. The Silicon Emperor’s roving bands of death spiders didn’t find you as you slept. That’s good, but now it’s time to hunt. The death spiders have been fed your gene signature and those of all the other Designated Nopes. You must find and kill the death spiders before they kill you. You open the cellar door, just a crack. You are immediately eaten by death spiders.

    I thought Boston Dynamics explicitly prohibited this from being used as a weapon?
