real dog vs robot dog

1. So cool!! Self driving cars, robots, I love technology! nt

2. What's especially creepy about the jogging humanoid robot

is that it has no head. The dog wasn't having any of the dog robot either.

5. I've seen humans jogging in 0 and 90 degree weather...

...and wondered where their heads were.

18. I kept waiting for the carbon-based barking unit to disappear

in a puff of smoke from the death ray (what? no death ray? what kinda stupid robot doesn't have a death ray?).

3. now all they need are the death rays. nt

4. Not a fan.

6. To me it is actually frightening

Its only a matter of time before whole armies of these robots are created. It will be a new arms race to see who can create the deadliest, most versatile, mobile, killing machine.

No more will there ever be any kind of war protest like the 60's because there will be no draft necessary. The only casualties will be the poor brown media-demonized schmucks we annihilate overseas in some forgotten backwater by simply plowing them over. No "good guys" harmed.

7. a whack mid-leg, would probably disable it..

Most robots I have seen in action have difficulty righting themselves

oops, robot fall down...go boom

and this gem

8. How did they make a robot modeled after me?

That looks exactly like what happens whenever I try to do anything involving lifting and moving stuff.

9. In all fairness, the robot was drunk at the time. NT

10. lol. poor robot

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. You think that's bad...

[Demovictory9]

13. Lol

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. lol. Ok I feel much better now

14. Until battery technology becomes extremely advanced and compact, there's not much to worry about

They're still limited by how much power their batteries can provide. Although with car companies now investing lots of money into developing better batteries for electric cars, it's only a matter of time.

[Exotica]

15. Far worse

[suffragette]

16. Anyone else see the Dog episode of Black Mirror?

Because it’s coming to mind now.

17. Great thread.

Nothing like good ol' paranoia to start the weekend.
