  They are just the prototypes to the eventual Slaughterbots that will be deployed into the streets to kill us, and bring us under control.

    I’m sure that’s the vision but I’m not entirely sure that Elon Musk is the man to bring it about.

  He is shifting production to a robot he can’t even show a working prototype for. The US taxpayer will be buying some expensive Roombas in 2026…

  The military and DHS will buy them up like hot cakes i bet. Coming soon to a street corner near you. My question is will they be armed with 5.56 or 7.62?

  You should see just how far Boston Dynamics has progressed. They’ve been working on it for literally decades, and it shows. They may have humanoid AI robots working in automotive assembly lines within a year or two:

    If it’s taken Boston Dynamics decades it’s going to take Elon Musk centuries.

    Bullshit. Cute dance videos are not actual productivity, and the most recent video shows a B-D -Robot barely taking a large part of a large self and dropping it into a rack. Stuff one armed robots already do.

    Watch the videos: they always distract with cute waves and dancing but no way will these toys replace skilled labor.

      It won’t matter if they’re cheaper.

      People are very expensive.
