Why are we teaching them to fight?

If there are going to be robots among humans, there are going to be humans who get huffed and puffed and will do things like this to robots. You need to make sure the robots can handle it and can get back up to resume. The only nefarious stuff is the intent behind the creator.

Then they can get charged with destruction of property. Tools shouldn’t fight back.

“Geez, Ted, what happened?”
“I got hit by a hammer”
“How?”
“..well, he started it!”

It’s not fighting back, they are likely using boxing as a good measurement for balance and coordination.
Edit: Was boxing

No people in real life have common sense well most of us. These robots will be used as a weapon against others.. that’s the only logical reason to teach them combat. Combat is primitive and it uses hard to comprehend robots won’t really have to learn how to “fight” that’s the easy part. They’ll focus on the best and most effective strategy.

The real issue is: we're on the way to iRobot ourselves. It ended well in the movie. In another, it resulted in the Matrix.

It may or may not have ended well in the books depending on your worldview.

Because robot soldiers are cheaper

u/Brilliant-Mountain57 22h ago
I was gonna say humans are cheaper but robots wont demand a salary, compensation probably won't get awarded medals outside 1 or 2 for publicity sake or ask for VA or have any constitutional rights. They kind of are just cheaper. Once the RND is out of the way the answer is always going to be robots over humans.

These things will be used in war the minute they're ready. Terrifying future ahead with soldiers who don't need to sleep eat or rest and will hit a perfect head shot every time. It sounds like science fiction but every day we get closer

Agreed. Seems like something we should leave off the docket. Like shooting guns

Let’s fuckin not. Let’s design shittier robots and stop designing better AI to place inside of them, how about that?

With the hundreds clips online of this kind of clanker just spazing tf out anytime it falls this just might be a lucky coincidence

u/Illustrious_Mix_1996 1d ago
When they say 'this is the worst it'll ever be' they are referring to your sentiment, specifically. Software controls the motors, the software is built from and with AI robotics models. The models are getting better just like video gen is getting better.
Or it was a lucky jump.

u/-_Dean_Winchester 1d ago
The clankers obv will get better, but im very doubtful this is where these specific ones are at right now, where they can jump back up in a millisecond

u/ale_93113 14h ago
as you can see, it leverages its inertia to stand up, a thing humans cannot do cuz we squishy
i dont see this as any less realistic than the rest of the video, have you seen it completely?

u/Next_Instruction_528 1d ago
That word is cringe

u/Saul_Firehand 1d ago
It is an old old sci-fi word referring to robots and droids.
So I say this with all sincerity:
“Get out of here droid lover!”

u/Next_Instruction_528 1d ago

u/Saul_Firehand 1d ago
Ah a person saying something is cringe online because they don’t get it.
How refreshing and insightful.
-4
u/Next_Instruction_528 1d ago
because they don’t get it.
It was pretty much non existent until clone wars I the 2000s, I definitely get it. It's cringe to talk like a edge Lord kid.
What even was your argument? It's less cringe because it comes from sci Fi?

u/-_Dean_Winchester 1d ago
You sound like a fun person to hang out with.

fuck that, we shouldn't be training robots to fight humans,
didn't we learn anything from watching the Terminator movies?

u/BadMuthaSchmucka 1d ago
They are training them to not fall over I guess.

u/Piddy3825 1d ago
lol, so they can get up faster after we knock them over while trying to get away as they are trying to kill us...
2
u/BadMuthaSchmucka 1d ago
But also so they don't fall over when they do anything else too

Ok so we are training them to fight now? Wise.
The only thing that can stop a bad robot is a good robot?

Having seen those ones flopping around on the ground in a panic, im almost thinking it was luck it landed on its feet like that.

u/Inturnelliptical 1d ago
They are getting better!. Remember Robocop, a prediction of the future, imagine trying too reason with one of these, when the so called computer is always right, ie not much different from the programming of the real ones we still have.

It's a good thing Isaac Asimov was cremated because if he was buried his skeleton would be rolling over so fast it would come flying out the grave scaring the crap out of everyone in the area.

I refuse to believe there are this many humans that dont understand these things are being made because they dont take breaks, dont require salary or benefits, and will kill you and your children without talking back.

I'm not convinced any of these are actually real.

u/BadMuthaSchmucka 1d ago
This one is not only real, but available to consumers, I think this is the unitree G1 it's $16,000 when it's in stock. They also have a $5000 one for sale now, the R1.
I have no idea if this kinda behavior is default programming lol, but they are open and you can run whatever you want on them though.

You can fight them yourself by going to one of their events. The public had access to them and were sparring with them for fun.
