This is totally non-political (for now…), but I can’t know about these developments alone. I’m all about innovation. People never cease to amaze me, but this legitimately creeps me out.
Behold: Two robots working together to open a door.

There’s something about that claw, you guys. The way it grabs the handle and holds the door– I DON’T KNOW. It creeps me out. Look at it.
LOOK AT IT.
NOOOOOOOOPE.
I think this one might be WORSE.

Did you see the creepy SNAKEHEADCLAW?
DOUBLE NOPE.

And so it begins. It’s only a short jump until we have to send one back in time to kill the others. (Or they can be really helpful -either one) https://t.co/zMRBvdyGxc

there is no red line with AI and nothing is sacred, including humans. if all we are looking for is usefulness then humans will eventually become redundant.

Can we all PLEASE agree to stop innovating immediately? https://t.co/8lbgLjyQ5P

I've studied human history and there is literally zero chance these things won't end up armed with guns, grenades, small rocket launchers plus suicide self-destruct mechanisms for when cornered https://t.co/sOgKoh03Ti

In the plus side, it takes two of them to open a door. On the minus side they are now INSIDE YOUR HOUSE

That’s what I’m saying!
Agreed it does look a little bit scary, but the technology (if used correctly) might be a boon to a person with disabilities/mobility difficulties.

Why would you think these things are hampered by meaningless human concerns like locks?

Scariest thing Boston Dynamics is working on are the fly-sized drones equipped with cameras amd everything.

OMG STOP.
Well, I'm impressed and TERRIFIED!

I don't know.
If they clean bathrooms and mow the lawn, I'm willing to take a chance.

Absolutely creepy!!

Nnnooooooo I don’t like it

I guess the major takeaway here is, robots kinda creep me out. I HATE robot claws, and I’m TERRIFIED of SNAKEHEADCLAWS.
Feel free to list your robot-related fears below. 🙂
