    Default Is anyone else nervous about Atlas robot?

    Latest of what it can do. The progress seems to be quickening. God, I hope they don't sell these to the government. But who else would buy them? I hope they wait a few years until they give them AI.

    I feel like the government already has employees that can do that.

    At least they managed to cut the power cords and have the power supply self contained.

    It's both cool and creepy at the same time.

    Yes. I was talking about this today in the office. This is crazy. Have you seen the video of it doing a back flip?

    The SpotMini robot is super creepy too.

    I guess being able to open doors is very difficult for robots and when they built that one, it was a big breakthrough.

    That episode of Black Mirror with that Boston Dynamics robot is the episode that scares my wife the most. She still brings it up all the time. I've even heard Joe Rogan bring up that episode multiple times.

    You ask it if it has a warrant and it laughs at you?
