I wonder if you could send a robot to the store to buy cigarettes in the UK, or indeed the robot may decide it wants to buy cigarettes. "Sorry we can't sell cigarettes to anyone born after 2009, or robots".

#193I was excited when I saw the title. Now I'm scared due to this hardware and being aware of LLM possibilities and mixing it.

#194They found the bottom of the uncanny valley and started digging.
Really scary feelings watching the clip. I think we need to make robots either neutral, or somewhat cute. Otherwise society will distrust these entities. This is the opinion of someone strongly rooting for the success of AI/ML and its symbiotic integration with actuators, either on an isolated basis or as a large hive mind.

I'm pretty sure human's role, in the grand scheme of things, is to generate the next step in evolution. We should do the best job we can for the universe.
Why? Does the Universe care? Why not concentrate on those that have the capacity to care?

Does anyone remember the scene in Terminator 2 where the T-1000 turns around instantly by swapping its face from front to back on its head? It reminds me of that. It's like they were consciously trying to evoke the Terminator.
You're thinking of a fight scene in terminator 3. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hSZkU9Yyp0w

#198BD is done with hydraulics. I wonder how good this new robot will be at powerful, dynamic movements such as leaps and flips.
Their previous humanoid robot, Atlas, was using hydraulics. But Spot (the dog like one) is not.

#199Are there any Boston Dynamic robots currently in use? Specifically the biped ones, but I'm also interested in the quadrupeds, which they seemed to be pushing for military/search and rescue/packhorse uses.
This one is actually pretty interesting cause handling big breakers is quite hazardous.

#200Lmao of course they had to make him get up off the ground in the creepiest way possible.
