Been seeing a lot of their stuff over the years. I remember seeing Spot when he first came out keeping his head perfectly still while the entire body danced. On one hand, yeah, mind blown. On the other, pure nightmare fuel.

This Twilight Zone episode has weighed on my mind since I was 8, in 1964. By rights, my job should have been eliminated by 1985, only the fear of liability has kept me employed as an estimator since then. But the end is nigh, somewhere just beyond my retirement, IMHO. 2¢

2 leggd upright robot tech has come a LONG way in a SHORT time. I watched a clip of Hondas human like robot Asimo from just 7 years ago. It walked slowly and cautiously. No way even close to parkour of funky dancing.


Keep old mopars alive.

Last summer Boston Dynamics was purchased by Hyundai.

I have no idea what that means going forward but those robots are amazing!

I have been doing what I do for 25 years.
every year they come along and say automation is the future and you will be obsolete next year if you don't learn automation or whatever new thing that comes out.

Every year I laugh at them. Until software is written by machines, and probably not even then, automation can only go so far, because developers don't think about what can go wrong.
They only know what people told them to code for and no more.
So just like complex video games, that can "always" win against humans, there is always some glitch the dev didn't think about, because it didn't occur to them.

These too have some zero day exploit, that will cause them to be vulnerable to certain people.
