Creepy..

Ahhh... so this is how Amazon's new air-frieght to your door service will work for offices and apartments. The little robot will just scale the wall, and deliver the books right to your office window. How convenient.

it reminded me a lot of a horse, very creepy though

The Singularity cometh.

So at some future point when I can download my brain into a device beyond mortal flesh, Google will likely own my body and my thoughts in exchange for gmail and the ability to have to login to Google+ to go and buy some food. Oh wait. To buy some oil. Or is that free with the Android subscription part of my brain?

Does that mean our brain suddenly loses all intuition and develops bugs and lag? And if we think [search], do we only get to choose between Big Brands, Google+, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Media outlets, Wikipedia and spam?

Fuck this, I'm going to kill myself.

We already have bugs and lag. Mental illness = bugs, when you can't remember stuff right away or think of ideas after you don't need them anymore= lag

Anyone worried about Boston Dynamic's government contracts?

Why? Google has been one of the most trusted partners of the US Government for years.

I can't quite figure out how the development of military hardware fits the company's image of "do no evil"?

 

[jacky8]

They are probably just gonna ask the governments to buy its robots in exchange for all the backdoor data requests
