Strange, I could've sworn that a year or two ago people watching those "quad-robot climbs over things" videos warned that this would happen, and they were mocked by all quarters because "the company said they wouldn't."

Surely techbros wouldn't lie so they can grab even more money!

@Dandelion @nyrath Are these the same robot dogs that don't react when you creep up on them while wearing a cardboard box?

Interesting question. Sadly, it's not clear. The soldiers involved in that test were Marines, but the date and robot's provenance aren't clear.

The anecdote that got passed around from was "Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" by Paul Scharre.

@nyrath for now Russia is proving that 'meat waves' are still cheaper, not in human lives obviously but in cold hard cash.

Instead of dealing with Climate Change we're making all the mistakes Science Fiction warned us about, the Torment Nexus becoming a catalogue rather than an advisory tale 😞
