Wer immer schon mal gedacht hat: "Schade, dass Beton nicht brennt!" könnte sich ja die Anschaffung eines Flammenwerfer-Hundes (in den USA für ca. 10K zu kaufen, und sowohl mit Benzin als auch mit Napalm zu betreiben) überlegen.
Was ist die #PayLoad des Untiers? - Fehlt nur noch eine kleine Rakete darauf...dann hat man eine laufende Drohne, die man mit #Flugabwehr nicht mehr abschießen kann.--#WarInUkraine?

Bei unserem "Pech", so insgesamt gesehen, läuft's wahrscheinlich eher in Richtung "Surrogates", natürlich erstmal anfangend im Militärbereich. #BostonDynamics
(Es gibt für alles schon einen Film 😎 ...und ja ich bin Filmfan.)
Wird noch ...ähm.. spannend was A.I. da insgesamt für eine Rolle spielt. Und wie sich das gesellschaftlich/sozial auswirkt. 😬🤔
Rf supply drones are an unexpected leg up - But dude, where the fuck are the #BostonDynamics supply bots for the good guys? It makes no sense.
This showcases how western #military is great at fighting the Cold War but not modern war. Sad to see what that means for #usa#pentagon spending. It really is just going into various pockets. No advantages found against foes 1 step ahead.
Also, app do an error when I entered #pentagon? LOL.
« The AI sector is utterly dependent on criti-hype. They are burning tens of billions of dollars on engineering salaries, custom chip fabs, human data annotation, data-center rents, racks and racks of GPUs and ASICs, whole gridsworth of electricity and entire aquifers’ worth of fresh water for cooling.
They are hemorrhaging a river of cash, but that river’s source is an ocean-sized reservoir of even more cash.
To keep that reservoir full, the AI industry needs to convince fresh rounds of “investors” to give them hundreds of billions of dollars on the promise of a multi-trillion-dollar payoff.
That’s where the “AI Safety” story comes in. You know, the tech bros who run around with flashlights under their chins, intoning “ayyyyyy eyeeeee,” and warning us that their plausible sentence generators are only days away from becoming conscious and converting us all into paperclips. »

Sounds a repeat of the Dutch #Tulipmania of the 1600's.
I' really buy a bottle of champagne 🍾, if you were right.
Alas, my assessment is they are burning enough cash an #embodiment will do the trick. Once #PeterThiel gets his way with the #AI geneneral and robots like the ones from #BostonDynamics are hooked up to it...No the would be the next step.
IMO, the singularity/AGI will happen before that: once trillions of sensors and actors from automation are fed...
Spectrum News 1 got an exclusive look at “Spot,” a robotic dog that joined the workforce at the Chevron oil refinery in El Segundo for the first time, helping take on more time-consuming and repetitive tasks, freeing up its human workforce to do more specialized tasks.
"It’s increasingly looking like this may be one of the most hilariously inappropriate applications of AI that we’ve seen yet." I am riveted by the extensive documentation of how ChatGPT-powered Bing is now completely unhinged. @simon has chronicled it beautifully here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/

Sorry, I hadn't realized when I wrote it that it was the same thread. (The fast app I am using on my smartphone is not really good at portraying threads.)
How do you define "interruptions" in this respect?
This LiDAR-equipped, 30-pound robot dog can be yours for $1,600 (arstechnica.com)
It's not quite as good as a Boston Dynamics bot, but it is a lot cheaper.
