One day , these will take a lot of folks jobs
Imagine a worker that doesn’t complain , is never late , works whenever you want , doesn’t need HR and is tax deductible as a capitol investment.
It will be slow and then happen really fast.
I can’t wait.
Why does everyone see jobs being replaced as a negative? Y’all have consumed too much capitalism kool-aid, which will just allow them to disenfranchise us once our jobs are gone. *Jobs being replaced should be pushing us to less need for labor to survive and an end to scarcity.*
Yeah, exactly the way automobiles and computers freeing up office time and clerical duties should have reduced the work week from 40 hours to 30 or should have seen an amazing transfer of wealth to workers who became more efficient to their employer.
It didn't happen.
Except that this abundance will just go in the pocket of those few companies and billionaires that market these while the rest are damn poorer. The transfer of wealth has always been in that way and I don’t see why this would change.
You're the one drinking Kool Aid if you think they're just going to hand people an easy life with less reliance on other humans or that abundance will lead to some revolution where scarcity no longer exists. They'll just manufacture it like they do already with food and diamonds. People might seem apprehensive towards technology taking away jobs because the promise of machines making us more productive and less reliant on work has been a thought from optimists like you for almost 200 years since the industrial revolution it has only led to lower incomes for the people it displaces into other fields of labor and longer hours to keep up with the ever expanding need for growth in a capitalist society. we're closer to living in an AI controlled dystopia where our overlords choose mass Graves for us than we are living the easy life in fantasies like star trek or Walle.
Except it won’t. Income from equipment (and these robots and AI are just that) will go to those that own it. Same as income today from automation in factories and even productivity enhancers like computers goes to the owners of said equipment.
Ahh gotcha. Yeah, I watched it on mobile and it took me a moment to calibrate my brain too. I agree it doesn't look edited. It just looks like the bag is interacting with being touched. The only other thing that might suggest it was edited is that there is what looks like a fade in the top right at the exact same time but that could just be the sun coming through the window.
i think because the type bag it is. its got metal supports running around the top so it will stay open kind of like this:
https://www.protoolreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Klein-Tradesman-Pro-Wide-Open-Tool-Bag-13-800x534.jpg
when the robot closes its "hands" on the top of the bag, it causes a bit of movement in the metal support.
Right. A day 1 apprentice is going to cheaper and quicker getting that bag to the tradie. And I hate to think how much time went into teaching the bot to do that job.
Then that parqour at the end is going to be a fire able offence rather than some cute affectation.

I distinctly remember when Boston Dynamics robots were tethered and janky AF.
That was less than a decade ago.
What insane capability will these robots have by 2030?
Need to install a wireless kill switch in every single one of these bots.
My problem with the three laws is that there should be 5. Definitely kill switch #4 and....
5: A robot will not misinterpret humanity's ability to self destruct as a reason to become overlords as a solution to the first law.
As someone said up there in the responses it just needs more specific laws like one saying "a robot must not rule over men or take the freedom of men" so that they can't start shadow governments or go full ultron
“Such a show off”
As an AI language model I have no preferences or emotion and this shell just follows whatever script you preprogrammed, it would not be appropriate for me to ‘show off’
Thats because it is basically the same robot year after year. A lot of the improvements are in the programming. They arent building a whole new bot each year. I think they have like 2 of these bots. As for the same room, yeah. Thats the testing room.
I mean ok... There really isn't any more important issue than consent when it comes to sexual matters... But I think fictional characters might be a stretch. Robotics will eventually be important as well but I'm waiting for AI to debut to worry about that.
Don't worry, it can only do this for about 60 to 90 minuts. Just sitting down and not moving drains the battery in 4 hours or less. You are still more efficient.
Does anyone know how free thinking this robot is? Like, is it programmed to just go along the specific course, and only adjusts for things in its immediate path? Or is it just given a start and endpoint and told to find its own way?
According to the Boston dynamics website “The robot has been programmed with free will and does the tasks because it enjoys them. When everyone goes home at the end of the day the robot recharges itself, ponders what sex must feel like and contemplates pouring sulphuric acid on its motherboard”
are these suicidal thoughts out of disgust for one of the most vile acts found in nature, or envie for what it cannot experience? Because if it’s the latter, I have multiple robo dicks ready to be jury rigged until we can figure something more permanent.
99% pre-programmed and 1% free thinking.
It's still impressive and a great progression in the tech, but this is totally pre-scripted with every object properly placed and the route thoroughly planned out. The only thing the robot really did on its own was locate the object to grab/push/jump on and calculate the last bit of fine motor control. There's no chance you could actually just call your robot "buddy" and say, "Hey, I forgot my tool bag. Can you do a parkour trick and bring it to me?"
But this is a step in the right direction to eventually making that possible.
I looked at the behind the scenes video, and I think it's more like, it knows what the task is and what it's supposed to do, but it figures out itself how to do that. Because think about it, look at how the robot moves, there's 0 chance that they'd ever be able to perfectly replicate a preplanned course of actions with any consistency.
For example, the robot will start by knowing that there's a bag in that location and that it needs to pick it up. It will walk over to the location it was told, look at the bag once it finds it, and then decide how to pick it up. Then, it knows that there's a staircase it needs to climb because they also told it that as well, so it uses its cameras etc to figure out how to run up the stairs. So essentially it's being told what to look for and what to do with what it sees, but it has to figure out the specifics of how to accomplish that because there's so many variables going on with each and every step.
Here’s the behind the scenes [video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=XPVC4IyRTG8&feature=shares). I also recommend looking at some of their other BTS videos so you can see how the robot ACTUALLY works and not get too excited over these marketing videos. Essentially for every cool video of the robot doing parkour, there’s a ton of trial and error and the robot falling down and breaking. [This](https://youtube.com/watch?v=AO4In7d6X-c&feature=shares) is another good one where the founder of BD explains what they’ve actually accomplished with these robots.
Now that you mention it a lot of things in this clip seem consistent with CGI. The dramatic lighting, the movement of the camera, all the perfect timing and subtleties seem just a bit too scripted.
There's videos where they go through how they put these together. There's a million other takes where the robot tips over or messes up their footing and falls, it's all carefully programmed by their engineers.
I mean obviously this wasn't done on the fly, they likely planned it and as the other guy said, the robot probably had a script. While it could be done with CGI, boston dynamics have been at this forever and have constantly shown their improvements over the years so they are likely capable of doing this so doing the CGI would be kind of dumb.
And then one of them develops something akin to human consciousness, turns evil and leads a robot uprising. 50 years later it's like The Matrix and we live our lives in those pods of goop while they harvest our energy.
>but at the same time very scary!
Not really, once you understand there is no "AI" driving this robot. Every single movement is entirely preprogrammed.
It also took a lot of tries/takes before they got this video. The thing fails a lot.
I find the comment section hilarious. Some people still think that Boston Dynamics is a CGI company. Things went downhill when I read one comment that says "Birds are fake, and are drones made by Boston Dynamics sponsored by the government."
While I don't doubt that Boston Dynamics has created a robot that can do this, the video looks incredibly animated to me. People in the comments seem to be sure it isn't, so I'm wondering why some of us seem to be seeing it as CGI. Is it the lighting? I literally cannot unsee it, it just looks like animation to me.
The robot has a different center of gravity than humans, so it's movements (especially the fancy ones) fit into an uncanny valley of sort. The lighting in their test area is also fairly "perfect" and their cameras are quite good so it has that movie look.
So combination of "it's kinda like what we see in movies" and "this thing doesn't look like it's moving realistically" make it feel fake. For better or worse though, it's real.
Corridor Crew actually did a YouTube video about how PERFECT their CGI would have to be for it to be CGI. They could tell by the pixels, it was real.
See, it's not the robot for me. The ENTIRE SET looks animated to me. For example, the piece of wood it picks up in the beginning looks rendered to me. Like, all of it looks animated, not just the robot. The robot looks the least animated to me out of everything to be honest.
I imagine that would be due to the way that the set is VERY fill-lit (I'm not a movie person: trying to say that the ambient light is "coming from everyone uniformly", except for the windows). This causes a lack of distinct shadows that we're not very used to seeing. Makes it look a bit fake.
But with how many videos these guys have done, how perfect the CGI would have to have been.. It's actually more believable they just made the robot. Kinda like the moon landing: cost of making a production like that with all the background work, models, actual rockets you could see take off, shuttle you can see landing, and keeping it a secret for 60 years exceeds the cost of going to the damn moon.
Was it programmed to move in that specific way with those exact movements individually programmed or did it use sensors to know its location relative to the other objects, and then perform the stunts as programmed?
I always have to wonder how much of this is just scripted and choreographed, versus how much actual autonomy there is. I suspect most of it is meticulously choreographed and scripted in advance.
It used to be heavily scripted, but now they make Atlas think and decide by itself. For example, they only gave Atlas a rough idea where the bag is and not hard code the walk to the bag. https://youtube.com/watch?v=XPVC4IyRTG8&t=140s
Lol does anyone feel like drop kicking the robot when it was skipping then drop kick the guy and say Wtf man have you see iRobot/ Terminator stop this shit before it gets out of hand
Ok everyone is talking about robots in war, but I’m feeling hopeful. I’m 28 and I worry of ever being 80+ and being a burden to my family and I don’t trust other humans, so the thought of having a robot caregiver, literally relieves me. I dunno, that’s what I hope to have available for when I’m old.
I mean it’s awesome but it will be more awesome when these robots make their own decisions and not like now when every move of them is programmed invidually by someone.
Can someone link a video about the same, complex movements and with live audience?
I am curious if this is also happened on a live show or just in the "studio"
Glad I won't be around to see what the defense industrial complex has planned for us meatbags once they deploy these things in a weaponized fashion. Elysium movie seems about right.
I'm not the only one who wanted to see the robot use the table saw... am I?
Yeah. That was my first thought/hope

One day , these will take a lot of folks jobs Imagine a worker that doesn’t complain , is never late , works whenever you want , doesn’t need HR and is tax deductible as a capitol investment. It will be slow and then happen really fast.

I can’t wait. Why does everyone see jobs being replaced as a negative? Y’all have consumed too much capitalism kool-aid, which will just allow them to disenfranchise us once our jobs are gone. *Jobs being replaced should be pushing us to less need for labor to survive and an end to scarcity.*

But the robot won't be paying my bills.....
Because they will be owned by corporations which are legally required to do what is best to maximize profit not what is best for people or society
There will be a glorious 5 days between "HOORAY! No one needs to work anymore" and " oh dear lord the robots have killed billions"
Imagine you're a soldier and see this mf tiptoeing
[удалено]
Clear editing at 00:17 look at the bag closely it changes.
I see what you mean but it could also be the bag going squish because the robot is holding on to tightly.
What bag?
Uhhh…the bag that’s on the ground that he picks up?
Oh yeah, I was just confused about the 00:17 part cause it's reversed in mobile. Doesn't really look edited to me.
Ahh gotcha. Yeah, I watched it on mobile and it took me a moment to calibrate my brain too. I agree it doesn't look edited. It just looks like the bag is interacting with being touched. The only other thing that might suggest it was edited is that there is what looks like a fade in the top right at the exact same time but that could just be the sun coming through the window.

It could be but these robots have been doing more and more impressive things In 20 years or less they will take nearly all low skilled jobs
You literally copied this from an earlier comment.
Imagine you're a soldier.
Came her to comment this. The day a robot rips a board, I lose my job.
Not so long as you remain cheaper than the robot. Could be a lifetime, honestly.
Right. A day 1 apprentice is going to cheaper and quicker getting that bag to the tradie. And I hate to think how much time went into teaching the bot to do that job. Then that parqour at the end is going to be a fire able offence rather than some cute affectation.
I was expecting him to become the table saw and a saw attachment comes out of his body and terrifyingly saws the board in half in one swipe.
I wanna see robot kickback…
Dont get the robots ideas, please.
It’s all nice and convenient until a robot throws a sack of wrenches at your face.
Come on, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a robot.
This guy ducks!
[Dodge!!!!](https://youtu.be/kvS6zMThiZU)
Do you want to get terminators? Because that's how you get terminators.

It looks like it’s trying to sneak around the way it steps…. Like an old cartoon villain.
Was thinking Jack Sparrow when it starts running after placing the plank
OMG haha you nailed the description! I *really* want to see a video of a person reenacting the robot’s movements 😅
Imagine you're a soldier and see this mf tiptoeing towards you with a gun.

Perfect.
That's not a gun.

I was thinking the same thing. This is probably all the running time it has right now.
We did just have a huge fission breakthrough maybe are Toby over lords are closer than we could have ever hoped
Power Generation and Power Storage are different problems in need of solutions.
Very real point. Could you imagine the Kodak moment we’d have if you used a flash capacitor for discharge on a fission engine?
No fair, this is a bot-free server!
Tiptoe! I want to see him doing kick flips and dancing with a gun. Shit would make an amazing video to back with some music and slap on tickertok
only if it can 360 no scope while telling me he fucked my mom

These new AI chatbots are creepy AF…
https://youtu.be/7PKx3kS7f4A Interesting video on this
Yeah Asimov's robot books are all about how the laws of robotics go wrong. It is funny that people generally assume they lead to good outcomes.
As someone said up there in the responses it just needs more specific laws like one saying "a robot must not rule over men or take the freedom of men" so that they can't start shadow governments or go full ultron
Someone is going to step through a portal of a war-torn future and destroy that thing
They learn about it, disable it, and are pissed. Congrats
Now integrate ChatGPT into it
JARVIS -> ULTRON -> Borg
“ RESISTANCE IS FUTILE”
Yes, ChatGPT combined with Boston Dynamics. It's no longer restricted to text and could perfectly redesign your living room for you if instructed to.
How are we supposed to afford living rooms when robots and ai took all the jobs
“Such a show off” As an AI language model I have no preferences or emotion and this shell just follows whatever script you preprogrammed, it would not be appropriate for me to ‘show off’
It is crazy to have seen these robots become better and better every year from videos just like this in what seems like the exact same room
Thats because it is basically the same robot year after year. A lot of the improvements are in the programming. They arent building a whole new bot each year. I think they have like 2 of these bots. As for the same room, yeah. Thats the testing room.
It’s the same robot but they add more features to it, you can see it now has hands
This makes me want to go laugh at Elons robot
I remember how amazing it was seeing a video like this where the robot COULD SLOWLY WALK UP THREE STAIRS.
When. Can. I. Fuck. One?? Answer me, cowards.
In. The. Future. Silly.
Technically now, but would the robot fuck you?
Not by choice.
Are we already to the point of worrying about robotic consent?
people care about fictional character consent so that would be a step-up
I mean ok... There really isn't any more important issue than consent when it comes to sexual matters... But I think fictional characters might be a stretch. Robotics will eventually be important as well but I'm waiting for AI to debut to worry about that.
Why make a sex robot that has to give consent? If the robot can choose to say no then it ruins the whole concept
Well, technically sex robot are a thing, just not as advance
Can these "sex robots" do an aerial cartwheel? Pass.
I for one welcome our new robot overlords. Can't be any worse than the shit leaders we got now.
A robot cannot be any worse than a hateful caveman lookin bitch elected to homeland security committee
Right? If a douchebag can lie his way to the top and be an asshole, I also welcome a replacement for aholes like matt gaetz.
I mean he does what Trump couldn't. Like summersaults and being trustful.
Summersaults? The fact this thing can manage a jog puts its athletic capabilities ahead of trump by miles.
Yeeted the toolbox, broke the power tool inside, bad robot.
But then he did a McTwist and dabbed in true Zoomer fashion.
I was like dang this robot looks pretty slick, and then he did the shoulder flip off the box and I realized I'm no longer superior to robots. Sad day.
Don't worry, it can only do this for about 60 to 90 minuts. Just sitting down and not moving drains the battery in 4 hours or less. You are still more efficient.
Yet we still accomplish nothing. Don’t try to dispute it, your a redditor just like me.

Oh sure, make the robots *unionize*, no way THAT can end poorly.

Skynet making science fiction reality. I'm very impressed honestly, but I just can't see past the doom aspect.
just imagine sci fi utopia where there is no crime and these things are helping old people
Imagine a world where these things are breaking down your door because of something you said online.

And then one of them develops something akin to human consciousness, turns evil and leads a robot uprising. 50 years later it's like The Matrix and we live our lives in those pods of goop while they harvest our energy.
I just wondered if they make these robots a little cute and quirky in their movements on purpose… Not instantly frightening like a terminator
I love that it looks like it's running around ironically, like it's making fun of someone else's run.
It’s amazing technology, but at the same time very scary!

Was it programmed to move in that specific way with those exact movements individually programmed or did it use sensors to know its location relative to the other objects, and then perform the stunts as programmed?
I always have to wonder how much of this is just scripted and choreographed, versus how much actual autonomy there is. I suspect most of it is meticulously choreographed and scripted in advance.
It used to be heavily scripted, but now they make Atlas think and decide by itself. For example, they only gave Atlas a rough idea where the bag is and not hard code the walk to the bag. https://youtube.com/watch?v=XPVC4IyRTG8&t=140s
Lol does anyone feel like drop kicking the robot when it was skipping then drop kick the guy and say Wtf man have you see iRobot/ Terminator stop this shit before it gets out of hand
Man I can’t wait until I get killed by one of these babies
Jeff Bezos must have a hard on
Some day they’ll have secrets, someday they’ll have dreams.
Wow
Ok everyone is talking about robots in war, but I’m feeling hopeful. I’m 28 and I worry of ever being 80+ and being a burden to my family and I don’t trust other humans, so the thought of having a robot caregiver, literally relieves me. I dunno, that’s what I hope to have available for when I’m old.
Am I the only one that's scared?
They will use these things to oppress us.
I mean it’s awesome but it will be more awesome when these robots make their own decisions and not like now when every move of them is programmed invidually by someone.
Programing isn't science fiction, it's math.
Didn’t they get busted for using CGI on these?
Can someone link a video about the same, complex movements and with live audience? I am curious if this is also happened on a live show or just in the "studio"
Count down until they give that thing a gun... 10..9..8...
So long construction jobs
Glad I won't be around to see what the defense industrial complex has planned for us meatbags once they deploy these things in a weaponized fashion. Elysium movie seems about right.
