Oh yeah, that’s smart. Bully the robot. Go ahead push it from behind, hit it with your hockey stick. Real funny.
It’s not gonna be funny when you’re working for that robot in 15 years.

The robot is human enough that I’m expecting it to go after the guy with the hockey stick.
Meanwhile I’m thinking that I know how this movie ends.

I wouldn’t worry.
After seeing this, I am convinced that the next innovations will be
Robot safe zones and
Robot counselors
to deal with all the robot bullying

Therein lies the issue.
Humans tend to “humanize” things.
The problem is we will think these devices are “human” long before they could possibly become self aware. If this robot looked more human, you would have demonstrations in the streets complaining about “microaggression”.

The problem is we will think these devices are âhumanâ long before they could possibly become self aware. If this robot looked more human, you would have demonstrations in the streets complaining about âmicroaggressionâ. Simple solution, make the robot look like an unborn child.

All this anti-robot quipping ...
Notice all the markers around ATLAS ... he (he?) can't do a thing unless told and directed
There are only two worthwhile developments that can come from this;
warriors and sex slaves, and I think man will spend all his time on the sex slave development before he allows the warrior to advance .... 'cause man ain't THAT stupid.

Spooky is right. What was really spooky was that to “test” him the guy was essentially abusing the robot..hitting it with a hockey stick, etc. What happens when someone programs in a defensive mode? Instead of going after the box and repeatedly tries to do the same thing it goes after the human? Like a terminator. It won’t stop.
