Scientists have made a breakthrough in robotics: a shapeshifting robot that can switch between liquid and metal states to navigate tricky environments without compromising on strength.

Yeah yeah yeah this is progress. Meanwhile, I'm a danger to society because I think families should have dads and want a suppressed 11.5inch AR.

Now program it with that AI Chatbot thing. What could go wrong?



ETA: There sure seems to be some really smart idiots out there hellbent on human destruction, as long as it means they can stick their names on it and be credited for it.

Next, the team investigated practical applications. They created a model of a human stomach, and had the robot engulf and remove a small object contained within it – a useful way, one imagines, to extract swallowed batteries, for example – and then perform the reverse operation, delivering an object the way the team hopes it might deliver drugs.


That’s actually kind of cool.

James Cameron is the real life Biff Tannen.

His personal vault probably has the 2095 Grey's World Almanac in it.

No. As kids they watch sci-fi movies and tv shows. Then they grow up and say, "What do you mean we don't have death robots yet?" So they make death robots.

Timelapse showing the robot's daring jail escape.

Yeah well it looks to me like it didn’t even need to liquefy to get through those wide arse bars. Could’ve just turned sideways. Dumbass robot.
