Well the thing is, would you rather have real people die on the battlefields, or just some pieces of metal? The same could be said for emergency services jobs like fire fighting. Who would you rather risk their lives? We have to stop being so pessimistic all the time - look where that got us.
@@KO_Manic I think we are uncomfortable with the idea that an AI is deciding which humans it has to kill. I dont think we will ever reach the point where "Skynet" takes over, but land based autonomous drones that walk everywhere and control a crowd and killing people is just a horror scenario. And its not like this would be limited to distant countries we are fighting a war in. From there its not that far to control people at home. Lets say at demonstrations. Or with criminals. Where a human could de-escalate, a robot will just decide how its programmed.
@@KO_Manic i would rather avoid conflicts at all... sending robots makes it alot easier to attack, because you dont have to worry about real people.. but the country you attack is full of real people and they have then to fight your robots. a robot just follows its orders, no mercy, no feelings.. if civilian stands in its way, it just removes a obstacle in the most efficient way.
It’s not just the unknown that gives us pause. It’s definitely the KNOWN, that humans abuse technology, that gives me concern. Legislation is not keeping up with technology.
It’s frustrating when scientists/researchers feign being naive about the possible and likely applications of their work. The intent of scientists is usually only to satisfy their curiosity and not to do harm, but they look the other way when thinking about the potential for harm because, well, no one likes feeling bad about something. The reality is, economics rules the roost and STEM isn’t immune to it. This technology wouldn’t progress another day if investors didn’t believe in its economic viability. And in this case, where would the largest economic benefit come from? Keeping in mind practical aids need to be cost effective. The granny down the street isn’t getting a robot support dog that costs thousands, she’s getting a walking frame that costs $50.
Exactly. A tiny amount of investment and technology could transform conditions for the suffering poor around us. How are the engineers making this going to work where everyday they probably pass by a beggar on the street who cant feed themselves? Make no mistake, this is our ruling class' response to the housing, climate and related refugee polycrises, as well as the apartheid systems in Kashmir and Gaza. Money for war but they can't feed the poor. Any dissent is exterminated. And their plan is to further invest in dystopian technologies instead of giving people basic dignity. As an engineer myself, I can't believe the cowardice of my colleagues who are simply there for a check, they could be as easily working on any website but they don't see the difference in working for a "defense" company. Imagine being gifted life and using it to write algorithms to hunt other humans like animals. Shameful. This is the opposite of why I became an engineer - it is the opposite of empowering for the victims of this tech. Even huge "civilian" companies (monopolies) are selling their clouds to militaries as I write this, implicating thousands of peaceful software engineers in war crimes. No one has the energy to care because they are too comfortable with the status quo, too comfortable living in their overpriced apartment, going on vacation to exploited island countries, while they live in the "developed" world. They say that they need to provide for their family and children. It is a privilege to be able to afford children in our economy. What kind of world are they creating for their kids they supposedly care about so much?
I think many of them know it in the back of their head but saying something bad about it would instantly have them fired. There is still some years until we are there, and ofcourse you would need a dog to have higher level functions and not only locomotion to be useful, and i have already seen robots make high level decisions so that statement is worth nothing. But i don't have anything against AI or the scientist doing it, and it's just inevitable that it is being done. If it's not done by legit researchers it's just going to be done by illegal actors, terrorists or China/Russia, and if they have it and we don't, the democratic countries are fucked.
"The intent of scientists is usually only to satisfy their curiosity and not to do harm" We would live in such a great world if that were the case, wouldn't we? Sadly no. Scientists are motivated by clout, money, and legacy. The lab that will invent the intelligent robots of tomorrow will have plenty of that. What they think is that someone will invent them anyway, so it might as well be them. They are vastly more cynical that you'd think. You don't hear about the scientists with strong ethical boundaries, because they don't have the clout, money or legacy.
I think it was George Rockall Smith that recently commented on the Tesla robots, that turned out to be partly remote controlled; that way the rich could exploit poor countries workforce by having them remote control household robots from afar, so the rich don't have to provide food and housing for their household staff or feel bad for yelling and cursing at the maid, when it's just a robot and not a real person. Just build a big robot control center in country and employ the poor people there, it's genious!
It's not that people are more scared of legs vs wheels... it's the knowledge of how governments and corporations will turn these more advanced capabilities on us.
That applies to just about everything though. Phones, cars, aircraft, water craft, they all can be used against us. What makes legfed robots different? I think the real reason people are scared is because all the movies, books, and other works of fiction thatbportray them as takingnover the world and trying to subject people to their will. I have actually been told by people that The Terminator proves that we need to stay away from AI and robots. This irrational fear that comes from the fiction that was designed to scare them causes people to just look for anything and everything they can to justify that fear, and ignore the fact that almost all of those justifications can be applied to many other things they use every day and have no fear of.
@@Sciguy95 I'm not afraid of AI, im afraid of the military industrial complex. That robot arm could very easily be a machine gun, the only thing stopping it is legal red tape. I don't think I've ever seen a single movie about a robot uprising
@anotherfreakingaccount and likeni said, you are ignoring that they cannuse use pretty much anything else too. You are just choosing g to focus on robot for some reason. Think of how much easier it would be to just automate the vehicles we already have. They can be equipped with many more, much more powerful weapons. They could use drones to access areas larger vehicles can't go much easier than trying to make something that walks. Even if you haven't seen Twrminator or Matrix, you are still being influenced by the idiots that are scared by movies like them. There is simply no viable argument against AI and robotics that cannot either be applied to almost everything else, or is just a fear of fiction.
@@Sciguy95 it represents a more realistic threat to civilians. It takes a lot to turn a tank against a civilian, and drones cant carry huge payloads or exert much force so their only options for arms are guns really. Big and powerful doesnt mean more influential when the game is politics. It seems much more likely to see a robot dog augmenting a police force against civilians than a combat drone or a tank. The arm might be even more useful than a gun because grabbing someone is much more defensible in court than shooting them. Surveillance drones are more viable as anti-civilian tools as well
@anotherfreakingaccount as I said, excuses made up to justify an irrational fear. You have have absolutely no examples whatsoever that you can use to justify these fears since this technology has never existed in any form before. You are being influenced by all the fiction that have used robots and pretending that that's how real life works. It's not.
@@erdelegy The AT-ATs in StarWars were inspired by the Vintage US Steel brochure: A promotional brochure that featured a four-legged walking truck and General Electric's walking truck. So yes, they were.
For what reason do people think they'll go against us? They don't need resources like food, water, shelter that drives humans to conflict. They don't have self preservation or reason to have negotive emotions, so for what perpose would robots have to kill us?
The major issue with this documentary was the people who were chosen to interviewed. Rather than speaking to universities who outfit these robots to help others, you should have spoken to military contractors who outfit them to harm others.
"basically anyone can buy one", the horror. "while some people are actually using them at serious research tools." this tells everything you need to know about this ladies attitude.
This just reminds me of the automatic floor cleaning bot at my walmart. It has two big sensors on the front that kinda look like eyes. The thing looks so damn cute. I once got in its way and it seemed like it stopped pretty hard, out loud i said " oh, sorry buddy"....
These are not made to help. They're made to be military weapons and tools. If you wish to help an elderly person, get them a living domesticated animal.
@@platypuspracticus2 I'm an architect working on a university research lab right now intended for using robots in domestic applications for elderly and folks with mobility disabilities
"Working on a rig is dangerous, and humans can be hurt"... and a hurt human costs LOTS of money, as does a live worker. A robot is only $5400 dollars, we can buy 20 of them a year and replace one human. "Then that money can be returned in lower fuel prices" said no oil corporation ever.
This video mentions that AI systems get trained from "data collected all over the internet". But it sort of glosses over that a lot of this data comes from corporations spying on us, tracking our interests and movements, mapping out our relationships with each other, etc. The last thing I would want in my home would be a robot dog spying on me to collect more data.
Your robot dog sniffs your butt and transmits that data to your health insurance company. Their bot analyses the data, finds you're at a high risk for cancer, and you recently used an illegal drug. The insurance company bot drops you, and notifies police. The armed police bot comes and arrests you with its Glock mod aimed at you. You are put in an autonomous police car, and taken to jail. Your landlord's AI finds your rent is unpaid since you're in prison now, logs into your dog, confirms the place has been vacant for a few days, evicts you...
i think it was very interesting that on their website, in the terms and conditions, they state that thee user will promise they will not use unitree products for mass destruction
This in the end because of capitalism ends up just being PR, even if the humans at the company did not want it to be this way. Because the way around this is to have an other company that is also a subsidiary of the same group of companies specialize in military applications. Also why specifically mass destruction, they should have choosing something like: harming humans.
These guys do not convince me. They are far from impartial. Conflict of interest. If anyone can buy these and modify them then they will be wrongly used, period.

I guess from now on when you watch American media, you should get used to hearing American measurements. I know that is an insane concept to understand for some people. Regardless of that concept, she started with 4.7 m/s which is metric system and gives you a perfect idea of their speed.
Scientists usually use the MKS unit system. The unit of velocity in that system is m/s. I thought "we should be doing what scientists do" is what the "use metric units" zealots are always saying. Apparently people are never satisfied. You know how big a meter is presumably. And you know how long a second is presumably. So what is the problem exactly? It moves 4.7 of those things you definitely know the size of every second.
@@exp5261 wut? What kind question is that? Of course I can. I can visualize 20 feet. And I know how long a second is, so I can visualize how fast an object would have to travel to travel 20 feet in a second. If you can't you are either lying about it or have a spatial reasoning deficiency. Can I convert that to every conceivable unit someone might find useful or be familiar with? No. But that is not the same thing. I also can't convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, but I know in both measurement systems when I need to wear a sweater.
Except that the machine gun mounted on Hilux isn't going to do anything without at least one human, preferably two. Black Mirror style robot dog can do work totally autonomously and you could even make it charge with solar array (really slow but doesn't matter if you have big enough army of dogs) so it has nearly infinite battery.
Right? Like, my attachment to my cat is completely intertwined with her and my basic needs. I feel obligated to feed her, pet her, and play with her on a daily basis because I know she needs it, and those interactions cause us to be bonded. If she were a robot, I would leave her in the corner of my apartment and never even think about interacting with it because it wouldn't need me to.
@@lucydonohue4919 Totally. I have two dogs that I love to death. Having a soulless, soundless robot running around in my yard would just be so creepy and unsettling. It was very weird to watch her develop a connection with it, feel guilt when she knocked it over, and compare it to an actual dog. That thing is a ROBOT. Very strange.
You might want to look up how people in Japan and many others around the world have grown attached to their Aibo dogs, especially Japanese people, because their culture is very different.
@@autohmaeI still don't understand it though. No robot could ever compare to an actual living pet. A pet you care for every day, watching the grow and learn, those moments just can't be rivaled.
@@Xenexus you know, I was thinking about Japan specially because of their culture, because they very much have a way of thinking that objects also have spirits in some sense. And then I realized, maybe the answer is two way and a very practical reason behind it, very often in Japan you are not allowed to own pets in apartment buildings to prevent noise complaints, etc. And thus this is probably the substitute they have as they can't have the normal pets.
The more I look at this technology, the more impressed I am by actual dogs. They are so agile, so precise, just an order of magnitude more advanced in their movements.
They won't be used to help the poors, cmon now. They'll be used to contain or eliminate the poors. Especially if there's a natural disaster on desired land. There's a cost to deploying them, and one or two will inevitably be lost. We live in hyper-uber-post empathy capitalism baby, there has to be a decent return to justify risk - cuz those are capital. Hawaii better never have another large fire.
I see this evolving like Star Wars... Robots (droids) will integrate into society over time serving in domestic, safety, service, and yes, military roles. The potential demand right now for some kind of pet or companion for elderly people living alone is huge. Whomever gets there first will make a lot of money.
the very first job for these would be surveillance and defence. combine these 2 jobs and you get police robots. we need these, badly.. humans are no longer capable enough to uphold local security, only robots can be persistent enough. 24/7 presence with no downtime and cheap enough for complete coverage.
All except for the part where she brings up the evolution of tetrapods. She gives a so-called example of a marine animal evolving legs then a snake that devolves legs. Evolution = delusion.

Great; now someone will use generative AI to create a movie where humans war with robot dogs, which will somehow be picked up by their actual AI and the such horrors will materialize.

I guess instead of rounded stumps for feet, there could be a spinning ball as a foot. If you slide, you correct it so that you instead glide, or break. Combine that with a "melting" feature for more grip and you're golden. Should be pretty easy to realize when the foot is slipping; "I'm not moving my leg, though I am moving" -> Magic correction (I'm not a robot programmer)
It would be neat to have a "dog" robot with animatronic skins and furs to be fashioned like a fantasy-type creature. I'd love to have a robot dragon. (They had sort of one near the end there with just, like, a costume on). You could have bipedal ones like little elves or brownies for a little helper at home. They could have four-legged ones pulling carriages for tourists somewhere (like an amusement park or something) instead of having poor horses having to lug people around and pull all that weight.

"Metal Head" is the Black Mirror episode everyone worries about. But really, at this point, the most likely existential threat to humanity is Behavioral Sink.

And its not like this would be limited to distant countries we are fighting a war in. From there its not that far to control people at home. Lets say at demonstrations. Or with criminals. Where a human could de-escalate, a robot will just decide how its programmed.
@@KO_Manic i would rather avoid conflicts at all... sending robots makes it alot easier to attack, because you dont have to worry about real people.. but the country you attack is full of real people and they have then to fight your robots. a robot just follows its orders, no mercy, no feelings.. if civilian stands in its way, it just removes a obstacle in the most efficient way.
It’s not just the unknown that gives us pause. It’s definitely the KNOWN, that humans abuse technology, that gives me concern. Legislation is not keeping up with technology.
It’s frustrating when scientists/researchers feign being naive about the possible and likely applications of their work.
The intent of scientists is usually only to satisfy their curiosity and not to do harm, but they look the other way when thinking about the potential for harm because, well, no one likes feeling bad about something.
The reality is, economics rules the roost and STEM isn’t immune to it.
This technology wouldn’t progress another day if investors didn’t believe in its economic viability. And in this case, where would the largest economic benefit come from? Keeping in mind practical aids need to be cost effective. The granny down the street isn’t getting a robot support dog that costs thousands, she’s getting a walking frame that costs $50.
Exactly. A tiny amount of investment and technology could transform conditions for the suffering poor around us. How are the engineers making this going to work where everyday they probably pass by a beggar on the street who cant feed themselves? Make no mistake, this is our ruling class' response to the housing, climate and related refugee polycrises, as well as the apartheid systems in Kashmir and Gaza. Money for war but they can't feed the poor. Any dissent is exterminated. And their plan is to further invest in dystopian technologies instead of giving people basic dignity.
As an engineer myself, I can't believe the cowardice of my colleagues who are simply there for a check, they could be as easily working on any website but they don't see the difference in working for a "defense" company. Imagine being gifted life and using it to write algorithms to hunt other humans like animals. Shameful. This is the opposite of why I became an engineer - it is the opposite of empowering for the victims of this tech. Even huge "civilian" companies (monopolies) are selling their clouds to militaries as I write this, implicating thousands of peaceful software engineers in war crimes.
No one has the energy to care because they are too comfortable with the status quo, too comfortable living in their overpriced apartment, going on vacation to exploited island countries, while they live in the "developed" world. They say that they need to provide for their family and children. It is a privilege to be able to afford children in our economy. What kind of world are they creating for their kids they supposedly care about so much?
I think many of them know it in the back of their head but saying something bad about it would instantly have them fired. There is still some years until we are there, and ofcourse you would need a dog to have higher level functions and not only locomotion to be useful, and i have already seen robots make high level decisions so that statement is worth nothing. But i don't have anything against AI or the scientist doing it, and it's just inevitable that it is being done. If it's not done by legit researchers it's just going to be done by illegal actors, terrorists or China/Russia, and if they have it and we don't, the democratic countries are fucked.
"The intent of scientists is usually only to satisfy their curiosity and not to do harm"
We would live in such a great world if that were the case, wouldn't we?
Sadly no. Scientists are motivated by clout, money, and legacy. The lab that will invent the intelligent robots of tomorrow will have plenty of that.
What they think is that someone will invent them anyway, so it might as well be them.
They are vastly more cynical that you'd think. You don't hear about the scientists with strong ethical boundaries, because they don't have the clout, money or legacy.
Or perhaps, if you develop the technology enough, you can make an affordable robot support dog for grandma.
I think it was George Rockall Smith that recently commented on the Tesla robots, that turned out to be partly remote controlled; that way the rich could exploit poor countries workforce by having them remote control household robots from afar, so the rich don't have to provide food and housing for their household staff or feel bad for yelling and cursing at the maid, when it's just a robot and not a real person. Just build a big robot control center in country and employ the poor people there, it's genious!
It's not that people are more scared of legs vs wheels... it's the knowledge of how governments and corporations will turn these more advanced capabilities on us.
That applies to just about everything though. Phones, cars, aircraft, water craft, they all can be used against us. What makes legfed robots different? I think the real reason people are scared is because all the movies, books, and other works of fiction thatbportray them as takingnover the world and trying to subject people to their will. I have actually been told by people that The Terminator proves that we need to stay away from AI and robots. This irrational fear that comes from the fiction that was designed to scare them causes people to just look for anything and everything they can to justify that fear, and ignore the fact that almost all of those justifications can be applied to many other things they use every day and have no fear of.
@@Sciguy95 I'm not afraid of AI, im afraid of the military industrial complex. That robot arm could very easily be a machine gun, the only thing stopping it is legal red tape. I don't think I've ever seen a single movie about a robot uprising
@anotherfreakingaccount and likeni said, you are ignoring that they cannuse use pretty much anything else too. You are just choosing g to focus on robot for some reason. Think of how much easier it would be to just automate the vehicles we already have. They can be equipped with many more, much more powerful weapons. They could use drones to access areas larger vehicles can't go much easier than trying to make something that walks. Even if you haven't seen Twrminator or Matrix, you are still being influenced by the idiots that are scared by movies like them. There is simply no viable argument against AI and robotics that cannot either be applied to almost everything else, or is just a fear of fiction.
@@Sciguy95 it represents a more realistic threat to civilians. It takes a lot to turn a tank against a civilian, and drones cant carry huge payloads or exert much force so their only options for arms are guns really. Big and powerful doesnt mean more influential when the game is politics. It seems much more likely to see a robot dog augmenting a police force against civilians than a combat drone or a tank. The arm might be even more useful than a gun because grabbing someone is much more defensible in court than shooting them. Surveillance drones are more viable as anti-civilian tools as well
@anotherfreakingaccount as I said, excuses made up to justify an irrational fear. You have have absolutely no examples whatsoever that you can use to justify these fears since this technology has never existed in any form before. You are being influenced by all the fiction that have used robots and pretending that that's how real life works. It's not.

For what reason do people think they'll go against us? They don't need resources like food, water, shelter that drives humans to conflict. They don't have self preservation or reason to have negotive emotions, so for what perpose would robots have to kill us?
It wants your boots and your motorcycle. And a treat.
10:00 The most important part in AI, is a leather jacket.
The major issue with this documentary was the people who were chosen to interviewed. Rather than speaking to universities who outfit these robots to help others, you should have spoken to military contractors who outfit them to harm others.
Why do you think military contractors would give interviews for a RUclips video?
A failsafe feature should be a top priority just in case of lost control.....or "disobedience."

"basically anyone can buy one", the horror. "while some people are actually using them at serious research tools." this tells everything you need to know about this ladies attitude.

Helping with the elderly would be the best benefit in the short time i imagine.

@@platypuspracticus2 I'm an architect working on a university research lab right now intended for using robots in domestic applications for elderly and folks with mobility disabilities
The elderly need affordable healthcare and someone to talk to. Not war machines.
"Working on a rig is dangerous, and humans can be hurt"... and a hurt human costs LOTS of money, as does a live worker. A robot is only $5400 dollars, we can buy 20 of them a year and replace one human. "Then that money can be returned in lower fuel prices" said no oil corporation ever.
This video mentions that AI systems get trained from "data collected all over the internet".
But it sort of glosses over that a lot of this data comes from corporations spying on us, tracking our interests and movements, mapping out our relationships with each other, etc.
The last thing I would want in my home would be a robot dog spying on me to collect more data.
Your robot dog sniffs your butt and transmits that data to your health insurance company. Their bot analyses the data, finds you're at a high risk for cancer, and you recently used an illegal drug. The insurance company bot drops you, and notifies police. The armed police bot comes and arrests you with its Glock mod aimed at you. You are put in an autonomous police car, and taken to jail. Your landlord's AI finds your rent is unpaid since you're in prison now, logs into your dog, confirms the place has been vacant for a few days, evicts you...

This in the end because of capitalism ends up just being PR, even if the humans at the company did not want it to be this way. Because the way around this is to have an other company that is also a subsidiary of the same group of companies specialize in military applications.
Also why specifically mass destruction, they should have choosing something like: harming humans.

1:00 "4.7 m/s or 10.5 miles/hour". Is this purposefully said to exclude km/h?
By the way 4.7 m/s is 16.9 km/h.
I guess from now on when you watch American media, you should get used to hearing American measurements. I know that is an insane concept to understand for some people. Regardless of that concept, she started with 4.7 m/s which is metric system and gives you a perfect idea of their speed.
@@RyanGrissett not if you don't use m/s but km/h on daily basis
Scientists usually use the MKS unit system. The unit of velocity in that system is m/s. I thought "we should be doing what scientists do" is what the "use metric units" zealots are always saying. Apparently people are never satisfied.
You know how big a meter is presumably. And you know how long a second is presumably. So what is the problem exactly? It moves 4.7 of those things you definitely know the size of every second.
@@timseguine2 can you tell what is 20 feet/second? just like i can't intuitively tell what is 4.7m/s
@@exp5261 wut? What kind question is that? Of course I can. I can visualize 20 feet. And I know how long a second is, so I can visualize how fast an object would have to travel to travel 20 feet in a second. If you can't you are either lying about it or have a spatial reasoning deficiency.
Can I convert that to every conceivable unit someone might find useful or be familiar with? No. But that is not the same thing. I also can't convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, but I know in both measurement systems when I need to wear a sweater.
Still can't beat a machine gun mounted in a toyota hilux.
Except that the machine gun mounted on Hilux isn't going to do anything without at least one human, preferably two. Black Mirror style robot dog can do work totally autonomously and you could even make it charge with solar array (really slow but doesn't matter if you have big enough army of dogs) so it has nearly infinite battery.
@@MikkoRantalainenwhat if the Hilux is a self driving robot as well?
I could never grow attached to a robot dog. Don't understand how anyone could to be honest.
Right? Like, my attachment to my cat is completely intertwined with her and my basic needs. I feel obligated to feed her, pet her, and play with her on a daily basis because I know she needs it, and those interactions cause us to be bonded. If she were a robot, I would leave her in the corner of my apartment and never even think about interacting with it because it wouldn't need me to.
@@lucydonohue4919 Totally. I have two dogs that I love to death. Having a soulless, soundless robot running around in my yard would just be so creepy and unsettling. It was very weird to watch her develop a connection with it, feel guilt when she knocked it over, and compare it to an actual dog. That thing is a ROBOT. Very strange.
You might want to look up how people in Japan and many others around the world have grown attached to their Aibo dogs, especially Japanese people, because their culture is very different.
@@autohmaeI still don't understand it though. No robot could ever compare to an actual living pet. A pet you care for every day, watching the grow and learn, those moments just can't be rivaled.
@@Xenexus you know, I was thinking about Japan specially because of their culture, because they very much have a way of thinking that objects also have spirits in some sense. And then I realized, maybe the answer is two way and a very practical reason behind it, very often in Japan you are not allowed to own pets in apartment buildings to prevent noise complaints, etc. And thus this is probably the substitute they have as they can't have the normal pets.
The more I look at this technology, the more impressed I am by actual dogs. They are so agile, so precise, just an order of magnitude more advanced in their movements.

I see this evolving like Star Wars... Robots (droids) will integrate into society over time serving in domestic, safety, service, and yes, military roles.
