Incredible stuff.
Until it comes to take you down.
Then terrifying.

I would recommend an EMP gun.
Electro magnetic pulse will render it fairly useless.

If that video doesn't scare you already remember that Google bought Boston Dynamics.
So basically, that "terminator" knows what you look like and where you live not to mention what you look at on the Internet...

Suspended. "You bypassed the swear filter in the cricket thread.". I have no clue what I said. You aren't told what you actually said nor do you get an opportunity to explain anything. Doesn't matter. Not important. A few weeks off was good.

On average in the last 20 years, for every job lost to a foreign factory, four (4) jobs have been lost to robotics and efficiency improvements.
Donald hasn't mentioned his job recovery policy on that yet. I guess they'll have to wait.

I don't know if a man has fully participated in this forum until he gets suspended at least once. Good to see your posts again
Also that's pretty freaky

The terminator.... send a robot to war, automated warfare. Domination through technology.
Publicly palatable warfare?

Eventually robots will be in every quarter section of land pulling weeds night and day. Less herbicides, better yields, etc.
However, the robot will also be running the seeder, combine, trucks, ....
Yes, there will be fewer jobs as a result of it.
