OMG: Google buys Boston Dynamics !!!

This is very. Very. Very scary

I remember those stories as a kid. Just seemed a natural extrapolation of gated communities. The corporation owned the city and if you got fired you got thrown outside the wall.

Packs of robots will hunt down uncooperative humans

The latest request from the Pentagon jars the senses. At least, it did mine. They are looking for contractors to provide a "Multi-Robot Pursuit System" that will let packs of robots "search for and detect a non-cooperative human".

Wow..... weird how this thread got pinned TWICE and even faster UNPINNED twice....... hit a nerve ?

could you explain this more?

just very interested never heard of those guys before.. the company or kurzweil actually

I basically just fucked myself up the asshole

Why?

How is taking the job away from a consumer who gets the money he needs to consume goods away --and give it to a robot -- help the corporate world?

Given that the DOD is heavily involved, and driving this entire technology -- I do not think it is our jobs that they are after. Gulp....

Let me know when old Spock sells Massive Dynamics to Google.

OMFG.... how on Earth did we MISS that????

Listen at 0.21 (I wanna be part of the elite!!!!)




I know it's about a game.... yeah, as always... doon't worry, it's just a game/fiction of WHAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE....

rubbing it straigthforward in our faces.......

I just love this news

when I firstly reported of the boston dynamic to my friends many years ago they all laugh at me...

now the bigdog hunting them will probably recognize them from their FB account and decide if they have to die by evaluating the idiotic stuff they post with some google algorith...


fuck if human stupidity is entretaining

dude I fill up my dipe on a daily basis, for real man.

Oh good! That's a relief! I'm sure Google will shut down the Terminator plant immediately.

/sarcasm

Thread: NSA Data Center Building looks just like Goggle Floating Barges!!

The average taser should shut them down pretty fast.

Lawnmower Man meets Terminator and merges

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!

Human Revolution Events

Much later, Jensen would find Megan Reed at a secret installation in Singapore and learn that Darrow is actually one of the masterminds behind the entire sequence of events. But whereas the others from the Illuminati were planning to create a universal biochip with a master signal to control mechanical augmented people and force them under the thrall of corporate masters, Darrow had a much different plan in mind.

Giving a speech at Panchaea with the world watching, Darrow insisted he would show humanity the true effects of mechanical augmentation, and activated his universal signal; this caused all mechanical augmented people on Earth to suffer mass hallucinations, driving them insane. As the augmented humans of all nations began to slaughter everyone in their path, Jensen rushed to Panchaea to deactivate the signal, where he met Darrow again, on his broken throne. There, the elderly philanthropist explained his motivations to Jensen.

He claimed that, as a disabled man himself, Darrow once wished for his augmentation technology to enhance humanity and improve the quality of life for everyone, but now saw that his technology has been perverted by the powerful into just another means of control over the less fortunate. People always corrupted technology and used it against each other, and in the case of augmentations, Darrow felt mankind was on the verge of losing its humanity and its moral center.

Though his actions were extreme, Darrow believed they were necessary to show the world the dangers of mechanical augmentation, particularly as the Illuminati intended to use it as an advanced killswitch for all of mankind. According to his vision, humanity should abandon mechanical augmentation technology and future generations should grow up whole and human, without the specter of enhancement over them.

Darrow serves as the game's final dialogue challenge. Jensen can either belittle him as being afraid of change and unwilling to let humanity evolve beyond him (as Darrow himself can not be mechanically augmented), critique him as being too extreme and nothing more than a sanctimonious mass-murderer causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands just to prove a point, or reason with him that humanity has used technology to improve itself every time and that mechanical augmentation will lead to a better life for all. If Jensen can successfully show Darrow the errors in his position, Darrow will give Jensen the code to shut down the life support system of the Hyron Project, making the final boss significantly easier. At this point in the game, Adam may murder Darrow with no repercussions.

After shutting down the Hyron Project Jensen will advance to its central hub, where he find the signal controller. There he can send a message to the world of his choice - one of them being Darrow's. Darrow had created a complete video confession, explaining the conspiracy, the Illuminati,and the consequences of mechanical augmentation technology. He intended to reveal the truth to the whole world, and thus start off humanity again on a clean slate. Jensen can choose to release this message and thus earn one of the endings.

When I was younger I never was into robots nor did I dislike them, they were just meh to me. The last few years though? I want nothing to do with them and those "autonomous " ones creep me the hell out, I hate robots now, keep those creepy ass things the hell away from me!

(note that this version of the scene is optional.. outcomes range from the organic species dying or the synthetic species being destroyed, to... this.. 'peace')

Anyone beginning to think that Google is SKYNET ?
If the shoe fits....wear it.

The kids are gonna love this one. I see a transformer car walking backwards. I want one now. Is that an eclipse?

Now TODAY I read this article:

Facebook develops algorithm that will learn EVERYTHING about you from photos........

Social network will analyze and then 'make sense' of shared content from photos to 'likes'

Facebook will then be able to better target individuals

New lab being set up at New York University specifically to study and improve 'Artificial Intelligence' systems


So, when will they join team Google/Boston Dynamics for the ultimate killing/hunting machine????

I was still ok until you said that and then it sunk in! Thats not funny :)

Google does not care about "customers". People fail to realize that Google is mainly a research (and development) company. They have close ties to Stanford, NASA and the government. What Google is trying to accomplish is something much more. Steve Jobs once said something like- if you have to ask what the consumer wants then your already behind (sorry can't recall actual quote). But these PTB in the innovation and tech industries are plans that determine our world in the next hundred years and beyond. It is all in its infancy but regardless of anything they will need to gain absolute control of you and me aka the consumer.
