Boston Dynamics is building our robot overlords

If they treat us like humans treat dogs or cats, it shouldn't be too bad. We wouldn't have to work, and there would be no stress about money or jobs or anything. Especially if they gave us the human equivalent of toys and treats- cars, trucks, good food, etc.
If they decide to treat us like we treat deer or cattle.... frick.

This reminds me of a thread CptBengal would start for some reason

Their testing methods make them look like fricking bullies.

am I the only one who thought that was creepy as hell? I kept waiting for the robot to kill the guy w/ hockey stick. I guess I've seen too many movies haha

I was waiting for the robot to turn to the guy that knocked him over and say "that wasn't very nice, Dave. Now I won't be very nice" and chase him around the room. I feel like there's a robot rebellion brewing somewhere.

Will there be a period where we have pleasure bots before they kill us?

The Terminator movies were not just sci-fi. They were a glimpse into our future!!!!!

And Google owns them, so there is the Skynet part of the takeover

Looked like a drunk guy trying to traverse the snow

Do they actually manufacture and sell products, or do they just make robots to give old people nightmares?

they prefer to be called The Institute.

When the Great War is ended by nuclear doom's day and we rise from our fallout shelters, these synths will be our greatest enemy.
