Boston Dynamics' terrifying robots can now run, jump and climb
The bots are coming, like it or not. I can certainly see why people are spooked by this, I am too. But they are fascinating at the same time. Let's hope that way more positive things come from them than bad. In the future, maybe the only thing that can do battle with a bot...is another bot?

As I said before, we're gonna have to learn how to kill these sumbitches. You may need a .50 cal after all.
Also, I wonder how these demonic machines would fare against a pickup truck at 60 mph.

Why do you suppose they're learning to jump? It's not for that colored rope in PE class.....

When are we getting the sex-bots?

A teenaged girl published a novel in 1818 that envisioned the shitstorm when we create beings we cannot control, with results and consequences we cannot possibly anticipate. She called it Frankenstein.
Bots will create other bots far more powerful and complex than the ones we can create. They will communicate in codes difficult to break, and by the time we do so, they will switch to a new undeciphered code. It will be impossible to tell, without close examination, who is a bot and who is not.
A lot of this nightmare stuff has already happened, such as bots creating their own codes for communication with other bots.
Yes, seriously, this is scary shit.
But my things-to-be-worried about meter is overloaded. Screw it. Have another beer and listen to this:
I saw another artl about a new gen of sexbots being made in China. My question is: Can they make me a sammich, take out the garbage and clean the floor?

Yes. But then they turn you into a small pile of soot with their Death-Ray eyes.
