Boston Dynamics says only that “general-purpose” robots should not be weaponized. The statement also says “To be clear, we are not taking issue with existing technologies that nations and their government agencies use to defend themselves and uphold their laws.”
Donning tinfoil.
Ever thought about what these could do? Maybe not today, but very soon. Or maybe today.
If they could charge via solar, they would not need to go back to base. Once they hit a certain charge level, they find a nice quiet place to charge up for a couple days, go into listening post mode until its time for their next op.
If they could access Starlink or a cell or wifi network, they could talk to their friends and coordinate and share data.
If equipped with a small observation drone they could see the battlefield from 1000’ above. And so could all their friends. They would know where you were likely to be and when.
Humans can come up with a lot of tricks. Every time one does, he tells the network, and that trick doesn’t work anymore. Clever hiding spots only work once.
If one goes dark, all his friends swarm to help him out/investigate.
The sky is the limit with these things. Maybe.
Fire hydrants and frisbees.
I.. I.. I like yours better.
Please provide a link to the source article on this. Thank you.
Copy that on the donnong tinfoil. What about an AI driven army of these things? I havent seen any talk here about that.
Yes, that would be interesting.
My wife speculated they could go thin-client and a big drone race-tracking over head could contain all their sensors and processing. It could be the SATCOM link and the robots could link to the drone.
Heck, the drone might be making most of the decisions.
Put a suppressed .45 on its head and it could go around quiet and surgical. Neighbors wouldn’t hear a thing.
We should work for DARPA.
