For the amusement of the rich .003%…
Kinda feel like we need to start nipping this in the bud now.
agreed. time to people’s army up.
Hockey sticks don’t work.
Time to build one of these bad boys :)
This made me lul to hard
We need to build our own robot army that’s open sourced and decentralized. Maybe it can all run on Linux lol
I mean, if Ukraine can make their own drones so can you.
You think these things are running on Windows? Lol. I don’t think you could get a picture of them all standing at the same time if they were.
No. The GPLv2 is too restrictive the only way forward is THE GNU HURD
Tap
/s
The GPLv2 is not restrictive enough in terms of allowing bad actors to circumvent it with DRM.
I’d rather destroy robots than kill humans in a fight for water.
The robots will guard the rich humans with water. So you will have to kill the robots first. You might have to kill humans second.
A highly agile, deadly accurate, inexhaustable enemy with more strength and less vulnerabilities?
Bruh whaaaaaaat
I see you’ve never gotten sand in a brushless motor, or seen how most of those robots move outside of a choreographed scene, or thought about their battery capacity. :)
All that aside, I think they were talking the morality of it.
10/10 I would rather fight one of those than a human.
Humans are quite durable, adaptive, and agile.
I twisted my ankle once doing a task I’d never done before. I adjusted my footing and carried on. Our current humanoid robots cannot adjust to something like that. They’re just not designed in a way that makes them adaptable to changing physical layout.
I might be squishy, but I only have two places that are vulnerable to sand and they come with covers that usually work pretty well, and one of them is mostly redundant.you spellt “big worthless chunk of metal” wrong :p
I will either be a veteran, or a casualty, of the Clanker Wars
“For The Republic!”
insert every Battlefront 2 clone call out
Given that it’s Boston Dynamics, these are likely to be cop bots, making the reality even WORSE than OP’s dystopian scenario 😬
I’ll send a Chinese robot to fight your American robot
hm… must be the sequal of a game I played when I was in your age, where the end boss looked less threatening:
Throw a bundle of thick rope on them. That will stop them in their tracks.
I recently learned to make traditional Balearic slings. I’m ready.
I’ve yet to have anyone adequately explain how it’s not going to rain in the future…
Cooling plants can use runoff water, salt water… As long as we keep from polluting the fresh water too much it’ll continue to be there.
… Do you think it rains enough for everyone to have drinking water now?
Secondly, air pollution can render rain unhealthy to drink. Aggressive environmental regulation, the type that people are currently staunchly trying to remove, are what made it so everyone stopped talking about acid rain.
Thirdly, climate change alters the growth of plants. The growth of plants mediates soil conditions, and soil conditions control water evaporation, drainage, and where rain falls. For an example, consider the dust bowl.
Finally…
As long as we keep from polluting the fresh water too much it’ll continue to be there.
That’s exactly one of the major concerns!
We’ve been polluting ground water sources for a while, and there’s also a phenomenon where over pumping a ground water source can shift the water table and expose it to ground pollution that it was previously not exposed to.
Joke’s on you – after you fight your way past the robots, you’ll find that they deliberately poisoned the water on the way out, just so you couldn’t have it.
Just go to Goodwill or other dirt cheap spots and load up on bed sheets. Toss over the top, voila, out of the game.
