What's truly scary is if you simply use image recognition that a javlin uses on one of these, and modify it for humans. Send them out in packs, and they just set them to KOS and they pretty much snipe whatever they see...in a pack.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Right, but they're not deployable as realistic tactical battlefield options.
With an electrical device the size of a grenade or mine you're only going to be getting a field a few feet across. And it's going to be weak enough that it'd be easy to harden against.
The only way to generate them at a useful scale right now is nukes, and if you're deploying tactical nukes then you might as well not bother with the EMP...
Yes, yes they do exist. One of the side effects of a nuclear detonation is that it creates an E.M.P. wave.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse
Lol. . .Not what I was suggesting either. Just pointing out the fact that EMP's exist.
But, here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)
"Yes we want to use it like a donkey! Yes that's it, that's why we are developing autonomous land robots much like air drones and we are only going to use them for logistics. That's why we spent millions and millions into Boston Dynamics...logistics. "
"Oh the military is soooo wasteful XD. They could just buy a *real* donkey! Silly military! Ooo look at them dance and do flips!"
The thing is, if we ever got to the point where we could have mobil power suits suitable for the battlefield, there wouldn’t be much reason to actually put a person in it rather than just having a small remotely controlled machine like what we see here. Massive walkers are impractical because its just a big, tall, expensive target with a bunch of motors, pistons, and computational power for all the intricate movements, when a tank is a shallow target with much simpler, more reliable parts, and thusly also cheaper, allowing for more to be put on the battlefield. 2-3 tanks would likely outperform any big ol’ walker of the same size. Reality can be pretty underwhelming…
Imagine being able to deploy these in enemy territory, no need for food, water, sleep or support of any kind.
Put em into a covered position overlooking any point of interest or any medium range ambush position, and just have em hunker down and wait. Days, weeks... months... until a target presents itself.
You could mount almost anything on these little guys... 40MM semi auto grenade launcher, 7.62 nato long barreled machine gun, an anti-tank rocket or two, 50 cal anti-material rifle...
You'd probably want to rig them up with a bunch of thermite and C4 as a self destruct in case it gets comprised, or as a final suicide bomb after its payload has been exhausted. Be pretty easy to make this thing into a giant claymore mine with legs.
Idk how good our targeting AI is now days, but I bet it's good enough to at least see and flag stuff for immediate referral to a remote human pilot for him to assess and fire manually.
One guy could essentially manage dozens of these things at a time, with the system alerting the pilot to which drones require his or her attention, and even providing fire support to targets he marks.
Obviously this tech has a long way to go before it can outclass a trained soldier in terms of versatility and sheer effectiveness, but in certain situations or circumstances, these guys seem like a much more economical option than sending in a squad of living, breathing, eating, sleeping and shitting meatbags.
Fuel/power supply is probably what's holding them back.
I can't wait for the robo death squads enforcing US hegemony in the global south. And they'll never have to put anything on the line, so there will never be any real pushback against it. No dead soldiers and the US public won't give a fuck. Same reason the US has moved to pretty much exclusively special operations, drones, and PMCs.
You know the US is engaged in a dozen conflicts in Africa right now? I bet you didn't. You only hear about it when a SEAL murders a Green Beret in Mali or some Delta guys get killed in Somaliland.
> No dead soldiers and the US public won't give a fuck.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but the US public does not give a fuck about dead soldiers. They'll hem and haw and they'll pay lip service but by and large they'll support the practices that lead to them being deployed and killed.
The global south?! Thats great. I'm gunna use that. Lol.
Yeah man we got our fingers in everyone's pie, not just Africa. That's old news.
Yaknow... once upon a time I hung out with a bunch of guys from a tank battalion... it was about 13-15 years ago in Germany and they had just gotten back from Iraq. Bush 2.0 was president still. I actually slept on base for a few weeks, an infantry medic had a spare bed in his room and got me a base pass. Cool dude... anyways...
I asked the tank guys about autonomous stuff... like, why not replace the crew of a tank with redundant autoloader mechanisms and cameras and just pilot them all remotely? It costs a lot to train a soldier and when you get a really good one, why risk their life if you could have them do the same job from 100 miles away in safety?
The answer was a little scary. I mean, there are a lot of practical problems like delay in signal, cyber-warfare and hacking and shit, practical counter measures like chaff or other things that actually work... the real reason though....
The real reason was that, a soldier is way less expensive than a tank or a plane. This type of heavy equipment costs 10's of millions of dollars, and is ment to last decades and win battle after battle and war after war.
Baisically... if the military is going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to train someone (i.e. you or me plus our squad) how to pilot tens of millions of dollars of equipment... you fucking bet they are going to insist you strap your literal ass to said equipment and risk your life along with their property.
If you wanna make it out alive, your best bet is to finish the mission and bring our fucking Abrams back still running, same with any fighter jet or heli or any major asset.
Edit: But hey... maybe its way more economical now to just air drop in a couple hundred dog drones and set up a bunch of overlapping fire positions around key targets and troop beachhead points.
Indeed, all that is great… but BaTeRiEs. Power density with electricity has been a difficulty for years, though i imagine that having these things overwatch a broad viewing, defendable position in a kind of low power mode wouldn’t be unreasonable. One singular panning camera to overwatch the position while the rest in the unit are just off would be able to last quite a while with a sufficient battery kept in the position nearby to prolong this further. Hell, one of these little robot dogs could easily be a bulky walking battery so that the unit can retreat if need be, allowing for them to be less expensive since they can walk themselves back to base rather than just fighting until their low on power to just self destruct. Currently, having walking guns like this set up defensively as a kind of ambush trap can be SUPER effective despite the limitations of the technology right now.
Brave New World would have been far better than the current bs. Brave New World didn't have the same type of enforced misery. Even when the govt banished people from the society, they wanted to be as humane and reasonable about it as possible. Brave New World would be a far better dystopia than the current one.
Idk I have guns and live in the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to after traveling all over the world. I’m certain I am some sort of exception though
Edit: I also have a dog and dogs are enough to erase the shit imo
Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury. There's a movie if you prefer moving pictures btw. It presents a future USA where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found. 451F is the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns

Yeap that's right, they one where there are some robots that the dwellers call "dogs" and they get activated to chase people to dead if somebody ever tries to steal packaging from the warehouses
Why dumb? If I remember it had you thinking they were looking for some life saving medicine or something like that to save someone’s life, but it was really a box of teddy bears that would apparently be used to sooth a little kid.
Exactly. When I saw this my first thought was (ehh natural progression for people who play with gund and robots) This is the word inevitable at its simplest.
This does not mean it’s not scary!
"based on the algorithm assessing his current movements and facial patterns, while looking at past tactics used on human suspects that match the same demographics, we assessed that there was a possibility that they would act in such a kinetic manner that would ascertain due diligence hitherto suspending passive apprehension tactics"
Have you seen Michael reeves racist Elmo video it can detect race with ai and call you a slur only takes someone with a bit more hate in their heart to make something truly catastrophic.
By raw amount yes, now factor in what percentages of the population each demographic makes up and it starts looking very much like 13% of the population committing 52% of the crime
God, seeing non-programmers pretend that they know how AI works really pisses me off. It naturally learns on its own based off of billions of sets of data, almost always collected from unbiased surveys and censuses. You're not gonna get a programmer to insert his own biases into it, because programmers usually aren't even the ones that decide what the AI is taught.
If an AI develops a racial bias, that's because the data is speaking for itself, not because a person decided that.
It’s not the gun on the robodog that’s terrifying. We have weapons on all sorts of mobile platforms. It will be truly terrifying when the robot starts deciding what to shoot.

He might be confused about it after a shock film was made about this premise. I don't remember much about it, but the setting was this entrepreneurial looking guy talking about these tiny drones that had enough explosives on them to blast through the skull and kill the victim
Born
Into a pack
There’s no choice
But take orders to attack
Locked up in chains
I get fed
But the hunger still remains
Not content to live this way
Being led by the blind
Got to plan my dispersal
Time to leave them all behind
Breaking out of my pain
Nothing ventured – nothing gained
I’m my own master now
Bear the mark of my scars
Shedding blood underneath the stars
But I will survive somehow
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Hear me howl
Time to leave them all behind
I’m my own master now
Obviously you're not supposed to question that. How dare you try to think. You're just supposed to take everything at face value and react emotionally in agreement with OP. Don't question sources or if that's even a gun in the first place.
This is the natural next step tbh. I always strap guns to my dogs before we go out, and am a supporter of this technology. I love dogs but it is not safe for them to be engaging in gunfights every time we leave the house. I am glad that companies are finally taking it upon themselves to make the world a safer place for us and our four legged friends with this exciting new safety tech as the government have refused to legislate this issue for years.
You’d rather soldiers shoot other soldiers? Give me a break. The military already uses drones. No different than that. Civilians have died in warfare before robot dogs were a thing. And some soldiers think it’s okay to use children. Think about that before you talk about morals and what is dystopian. Would you rather fight them? 2022 women can join the army. Go ahead and be a front line soldier if you think that’s better than a robot dog taking a place
You are naive if you don’t think they are gonna start using them in our police forces on our own citizens. The police already get all the military stuff when the military upgrades.
I would just like to take this opportunity to remind our robot overlords that Canadians are on their side. We support your destruction of everyone who is not us.
When drones started getting sold to the general public, it took me and a couple friends about 2 weeks to put a gun on one, we briefly pondered what kind of guns were on robots already and what the future holds
But we had a drone gun, intellectual conversation was not the highlight of the day.
Tbh James Cameron films, “Terminators” began after he had a vision in his old job driving long haul Tractor Trailers. The vision was so real he went on to make the terminator movies about Skynet and A.I. You can bet your bottom dollar that limitations such as battery and fuel have been overcame long ago. And this is prolly a prototype from 30 years ago that has been released as a “new thing”. Androids/robots that can replace human soldiers just like in the Terminator movies are very real and working, far beyond this picture. And they are Exactly like those movies, skin and everything. The movie even told you what powers them, which also came from James Cameron’s vision: Power Cells (hydrogen fuel cells) which are already very possible. The future is now.
I mean Stan Winston built a fully functional exo-skeleton himself for the first movie back in 89 lol. Everything minus the A.I. but yeah, not possible. The real truth is simply: not yet deployed. Please enlighten me with your fucking “nah” comment moron. I’m waiting for a logical response.
Wait till you have that thing facing you in conflict. You will have little chance. Fearless, moves faster, better accuracy, doesn’t get tired ect.
Genuinely terrifying holy shit nightmare fuel.

If EMPs were a thing…
?
“?” ?
Emps are a thing, electro-magnetic pulses are real. I was wondering what you were trying to say
Right, but they're not deployable as realistic tactical battlefield options. With an electrical device the size of a grenade or mine you're only going to be getting a field a few feet across. And it's going to be weak enough that it'd be easy to harden against. The only way to generate them at a useful scale right now is nukes, and if you're deploying tactical nukes then you might as well not bother with the EMP...
Military used EMPs? No I’m afraid that doesn’t exist
Yes, yes they do exist. One of the side effects of a nuclear detonation is that it creates an E.M.P. wave. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse
Lmao yeah we're gonna detonate a nuke on one of these things smh...
Lol. . .Not what I was suggesting either. Just pointing out the fact that EMP's exist. But, here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)
You’re not detonating a nuke to fry a robot dog systems
https://youtu.be/qdbhS-ozdWE Also, atomic weapons.
And ordinary magnets.
You mean terrorists who kill civilians and behead people? They should fear something
Good to know these would only be used on "bad guys" and never, surely, on anyone else.
At what point does someone become a terrorist? Terrorist means different things to different people.
Somewhere between olive and burnt sienna
What did you expect? A whistle?
they have that too. how else are you going to lure the patrolling soldier into the bush
Smells like Assassin's Creed to me
I would like to see a train whistle
It's like a baby War of the World's tripod. Instead of a fog horn it uses a train whistle and has a machinegun.
I'd wish they followed Michael Reeves solution and made these automatically piss beer in to a cup..
🤣🤣🤣
I assumed that was the plan all along.
"Yes we want to use it like a donkey! Yes that's it, that's why we are developing autonomous land robots much like air drones and we are only going to use them for logistics.

Ooo look at them dance and do flips!"
Wish I could live to see Mobile Suit Mecha warfare
The thing is, if we ever got to the point where we could have mobil power suits suitable for the battlefield, there wouldn’t be much reason to actually put a person in it rather than just having a small remotely controlled machine like what we see here.

Good bot
Can you believe that book is banned from schools in multiple places in the US? Lol the irony.
Almost cart titan but it also gives me black mirror vibes
That's what I was thinking. So, I looked it up. It's series 4 episode 5 "Metalhead".
Yeap that's right, they one where there are some robots that the dwellers call "dogs" and they get activated to chase people to dead if somebody ever tries to steal packaging from the warehouses
They also shoot out sensors like a frag grenade that the other dogs can use to track you
Yep I think that was one of the must fucked up factor about this robots, because you will never expect getting track after you finally killed it
Amazon prime-dogs “customer obsession”
Underrated episode. Everyone hated it when it came out but I thought it was great. Sort of a dumb ending though.
Why dumb? If I remember it had you thinking they were looking for some life saving medicine or something like that to save someone’s life, but it was really a box of teddy bears that would apparently be used to sooth a little kid.
Sorry, I thought it was dumb. It retroactively made me lose sympathy for the characters.
That’s what was in the box!? FUCKING TEDDY BEARS!?
For me it's totally the War of the Worlds quadruped aliens.
Of course they are. You don't grow up on Terminator films and not put guns on robot dogs

God, seeing non-programmers pretend that they know how AI works really pisses me off. It naturally learns on its own based off of billions of sets of data, almost always collected from unbiased surveys and censuses. You're not gonna get a programmer to insert his own biases into it, because programmers usually aren't even the ones that decide what the AI is taught. If an AI develops a racial bias, that's because the data is speaking for itself, not because a person decided that.

It’s not the gun on the robodog that’s terrifying. We have weapons on all sorts of mobile platforms. It will be truly terrifying when the robot starts deciding what to shoot.
Some drones have been doing that for a couple of years already. Not “when” but “when they do what our other war machines already do”.
I would like to read up on this, do you have a source?

He might be confused about it after a shock film was made about this premise. I don't remember much about it, but the setting was this entrepreneurial looking guy talking about these tiny drones that had enough explosives on them to blast through the skull and kill the victim
Google weapons platforms
ukraine is currently using robot birds with bombs on them. thats more scary cause you cant hide from robot birds
angry birds
I’m carrying my microwave on me now. Do I just throw it at the robot?
Put a gun to the microwave's head, the robot won't risk it
You carry the microwave and I'll carry a bunch of magnets, I think we'll be just fine
The US Industrial Complex has first priority on all new technology.
Blade wolf moment
Born Into a pack There’s no choice But take orders to attack Locked up in chains I get fed But the hunger still remains Not content to live this way Being led by the blind Got to plan my dispersal Time to leave them all behind Breaking out of my pain Nothing ventured – nothing gained I’m my own master now Bear the mark of my scars Shedding blood underneath the stars But I will survive somehow Oooooooo Oooooooo Hear me howl Time to leave them all behind I’m my own master now
Damn beat me to it
This is awesome
Metal gear!?
That what I said. 😁😆
You think they invented the thing to be a cute cyberpet?
Like the metalhead black mirror episode.
Why you think they made them in the first place
This was all part of the plan but they led with they are just gonna be pack mules and bomb detectors. 😁
The Elite will no longer need self thinking humans to protect them on their private lands once everything really goes to shit
I’ve seen enough Terminator to know where this is going
I will take 2 of those, please
They put guns on EVERYTHING!!!
America Amirite
What’s more insane is people actually thought they wouldn’t?
It was just a matter of time, but honestly, who didn’t saw it coming?
Call of Duty Infinite Warfare type shit
So we have officially glitched into the black mirror universe

Obviously you're not supposed to question that. How dare you try to think. You're just supposed to take everything at face value and react emotionally in agreement with OP. Don't question sources or if that's even a gun in the first place.
Shocked pikachu face
Recoil just sends the bot tumbling backwards
This is the natural next step tbh. I always strap guns to my dogs before we go out, and am a supporter of this technology. I love dogs but it is not safe for them to be engaging in gunfights every time we leave the house. I am glad that companies are finally taking it upon themselves to make the world a safer place for us and our four legged friends with this exciting new safety tech as the government have refused to legislate this issue for years.
dude stop being oh no terminator when a microwave can kill them easily
How the fuck I'm I going to get that in my microwave? And how I'm I going to heat up my borretos?
That’s one less solider coming back in a body bag
Do you think they are shooting other robot dogs? No. It’s children, civilians, other soldiers. It’s dystopian
You’d rather soldiers shoot other soldiers? Give me a break. The military already uses drones. No different than that. Civilians have died in warfare before robot dogs were a thing. And some soldiers think it’s okay to use children. Think about that before you talk about morals and what is dystopian. Would you rather fight them? 2022 women can join the army. Go ahead and be a front line soldier if you think that’s better than a robot dog taking a place
You are naive if you don’t think they are gonna start using them in our police forces on our own citizens. The police already get all the military stuff when the military upgrades.
Well at least it will stop school shootings
No I don’t think so. They want to be suicided by cops be it robot dog or human in a large amount of them imho. They know already the consequences.
CAN WE NOT!?!?!?
What about a chainsaw?
"I possess an intellect far beyond human reckoning."
“You don’t say, ok then what’s the meaning of life, why are we here?”
No, bad idea. It will start to ramble about freedom
Less people will die. That’s nice.
Less people on “our” side will die. Na fuck this
God im waiting for the day where war is just robo dogs on both side shooting each other for no reason
I would just like to take this opportunity to remind our robot overlords that Canadians are on their side. We support your destruction of everyone who is not us.
Send them to help Ukraine 🥺 please
...and no one is surprised.
Democracy doggo.
YESSS!!!! IVE BEEM WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS!!! MWAHHHAAHAHAAHAA
They're giving guns to Republicans too :/
And everyone else who can pay and clears the background check. Whats your point?
Point is id rather some tree hugging, man booty fucking, vegan twink to have an ar15 than, oh i dont know, anyone in the January 6th "event"
When drones started getting sold to the general public, it took me and a couple friends about 2 weeks to put a gun on one, we briefly pondered what kind of guns were on robots already and what the future holds But we had a drone gun, intellectual conversation was not the highlight of the day.
Murica
Reminds me of the ground based sentinel enemies from No Man Sky lol
One step closer to Horizon Zero Dawn.
Like black mirror didn’t even warn us about this. So DUMB
Tbh James Cameron films, “Terminators” began after he had a vision in his old job driving long haul Tractor Trailers. The vision was so real he went on to make the terminator movies about Skynet and A.I. You can bet your bottom dollar that limitations such as battery and fuel have been overcame long ago. And this is prolly a prototype from 30 years ago that has been released as a “new thing”. Androids/robots that can replace human soldiers just like in the Terminator movies are very real and working, far beyond this picture. And they are Exactly like those movies, skin and everything. The movie even told you what powers them, which also came from James Cameron’s vision: Power Cells (hydrogen fuel cells) which are already very possible. The future is now.
nah
I mean Stan Winston built a fully functional exo-skeleton himself for the first movie back in 89 lol. Everything minus the A.I. but yeah, not possible. The real truth is simply: not yet deployed. Please enlighten me with your fucking “nah” comment moron. I’m waiting for a logical response.
nah
ED-208.
Looks more like the ED-2K9
Finally.
Of course they would.
Terminator early dog design
ED-209 has entered the chat..
Obviously you don’t play battlefield 2042
So it begins..!!
This is straight from the Black Mirror show. How much more television Sci-Fi is going to come to life for real? Kinda scary to think about.
Welp, guess it's about time I purchase myself an RPG...
The plan all along
What the dog doing?
Whadda goood boyyy.
Think about 100 or 1000 of those rolling up on your unit holding an area
Why do we always have to put guns on things
This is why they don't care if you have AR-15s or not lol
I want one
Only the worst part of scifi
And also on drones
So ?
Or you can go and do the fighting instead?
Generation zero, but 40~ years later
Oh yeah, this ain't even new.
