So cute............if you think they haven't weaponized these yet you're dreaming.

 
Worse still, in 50 years they may have to imagine us after having wiped us out 'cause of our redundancy. :LOL:
 
Dr. EVIL I presume...............................................................................
 
they have admitted that these videos have been "doctored" to represent what the robots "can do" but aren't doing yet. to quote "walking robots fall down a lot" ... there are people off screen with remote controls guiding them.....it doubt it will take very long though before these videos are legit what is happening
 
Would've been appropriate for the LSM to make that clear, mate.

Here in Oz at least, it was a "wow" moment with zero caveats offered. :no:

I think this is inaccurate. The robots can do all the movements here (and are), and there's no human remote control. I mean, could you imagine? Hard enough to control a drone to simply move in 3D space, let alone somehow specify these movements like a puppeteer. The moves are all a pre-programmed routine, but I don't think that detracts from the video at all. It is important to make clear that Boston Dynamics is not an AI/machine learning company -- these actions are not learned but specified in simulation.

That article is from 2018, and also written in a misleading way. Of course they leave out the "bloopers". I have to remember that in 2018 it was impressive just to get a bipedal one to jump over an obstacle, etc.

But you have to have things pretty ironed out to get a good take of multiple robots doing a long choreographed sequence with just a day or two for the entire shoot. I think in your earlier comment you made it sound like @Monkey Man shouldn't be wowed here because it's a doctored video. That's not true -- it's not doctored, it's not something they hope the robots can do in the future -- those robot are actually doing that dance.
 
All-the-more-impressive then, mate.

Thank you for the claritittification. :thumbsup:

weird, at no point did I quote or reference Monkey Man or anything he said

It's getting pedantic now but:
- you post making it sound like this current video was fake/doctored,
- other people (MonkeyMan) comment that they had been wowed when they believed the video was real, until you said otherwise,
- video actually is real, and I would like to try to stop the misinformation (your posts) from spreading.
