>>41400130
Me too, it was like watching him kick a dog.
I felt bad for it when they kicked it :(
I can't find a source for it, but apparently another company had designed a robot that would walk around on a minefield to set off the mines (every time blowing up a piece of the robot, but it'd keep going). When they demonstrated it, the supervising general got mad and ordered them to stop the testing, saying it was cruel to see the little robot limping along.

Selling robotic pets that do things you wish your own (seemingly untrainable) pet could do, but can't because you never trained it to do.
IE, fetch your mail, act as a waiter tray, etc etc.
If they made them humanoid, you'd have the Matrix problem, as in the REAL matrix problem: people empathise with humans and thus their expectations rub off on whatever they empathise. Basically, robots won't act rebellious until humans expect them to act rebellious, the rebellion (like 90% of humans you think YOU'RE feeling) come from other humans. Meanwhile, humans are perfectly okay with subservient quadrupeds.
Welcome to the information age, manual labour is no longer necessary.
>>41401538
Human compassion.
>>41399552
Eventually, all of these developments will be used to hunt and coral citizens.
Google stated "don't be evil" as it guiding ethic. The fact that it said this instead of "be good" is troubling enough.

>Just not us cause we're retarded.
Let's assume for a second that what you're saying is even remotely possible, do you believe that these things would believe that as well? Do you believe that this race of androids will sit back and say "gee, the people that made me everything I am sure were retarded, I mean... look at how perfect I am... just fucking look... oh, wait."
In reality anything computerised performs purely on instructions, if they're not told to do something they simply don't do it. This leads on to my only fear with these things, humans expect things from things they empathise with, like a will to freedom or (in many darker natures) a will to rebel. Computers won't "feel" this until humans expect them to feel it, it's basically the closest they'll come to being "instructed" to overtake us.
>>41401774
Good and evil are difficult concepts, good is actually completely beyond us, the best we understand about evil is that pain is bad and that arbitrarily inflicting it is "evil."
If google abides by some sort of non-aggression principle or victim/damage principle, ala graphic, I'm happy with whatever they do. After that, provided they stay away from our children's minds and let us raise them how we want them, that's a definitely positive.
>>41401899

I foresee these things becoming the heroes of the 21st century.
Hear me out.
Think of those thousands of Yazidis that were trapped on Mt Rapedoom.
We could drop supplies to them, but we couldn't risk sending in airborne troops.
Imagine if we dropped in five Big Dogs with 400lbs of fuel & ammo. Infra red. Night vision. Extreme zoom optics.
And these Big Dogs slowly snuck around the enemy positions eliminating every single one over the course of a few days.
Big Dogs can do stuff humans can't. All while being controlled by some mil nerd in Nevada.
>>41401160
>Best hope for mankind yet if we ever create AI
We've already created AI, it's already capable of doing most things. What you don't understand about AI is that it absolutely requires the input of a human mind, computers will always need programming and direction.
Think of computer programming as data, it's just a recording of a human mind itself, the way it thinks, etc.
>>41402189
Oversimplifications are good, they're a good place to start, just a horrible place to finish.

I mean a proper intelligence not that half baked shit that lets you turn it off.
So, even though I view the militarization of robots with great trepidation, there will be plenty of good things coming out of this for those of us who manage to get at or stay in the middle-class or higher:
Robot servants, pet robot dogs that will never piss on the carpet or bite other people and dogs, sexual robots

>>41399552
>this thing coming at you with a gun mounted on it
>>41402540
>proper intelligence
Which is? Define this.
When people like you start talking about AI, I think what they mean is what they want is a computer that can essentially be a friend. I empathise with this, but computers aren't really capable of this. The reason other humans are is because you empathise with other humans, to some degree you feel what they feel and they feel what you feel, you share in ways deeper than anything material or even information based.
If you did this to computers, it would only ever go one way. Thus, it would always be an illusion.
>>41402678
that aren't capable.. yet.
eventually we'll build machines that can think about the concept of what it is.
the human mind isn't such arcane wizardry that it can't be reproduced with time and effort.
>>41401538
dont let those things fool you
you think they are just making cute mammal/personifying jokes for fun?
they want you to passively laugh them off,while they build these things out and station them all over,its called propaganda son, and it seems like its working
>>41401038
The kicking was just to demonstrate how it reacts to unknown forces, they weren't deliberately trying to be mean to it.
>Those retarded and optimistic comments
Remember the pro-gun argument that an insurgency could win partly because American troops wouldn't fire on their own? Well now here you have a robot that will fire on you irregardless of political stance and loyalty. Now we have a machine that does not require sleep, does not require food, does not require health care and has no moral compass or ethical reasoning.
To anyone with a brain this is frightening.
But it will be accepted
>think of the lives we'll save!

Stompy mechs when?
>>41402540
>Thinking anyone would ever give an AI emotions or desires
Why? Not only would it be difficult, AI is a tool, why the fuck would you want a tool with it's own feelings about any task you give it? Who'd pay for that shit?
What's the market for a toaster that occassionally gets depressed and refuses to work or a lawnmover that gets lonely if you leave it alone for more than a few hours?
Intelligence is just problem solving ability, our emotions and motivations are completely seperate from that, having human-level intelligence doesn't automatically mean it'd be emotional. We want to create machines that can solve problems better than us, Artificial Intelligence, not Artificial Feels.
>>41402723
Eventually you'll build an illusion capable of fooling weak minded people. They'll be at best toys for stronger people.
Holy shit this looks good.

nice post, tard. there's no reason for it to sit there. historically pilots had to sit there because they were using their eyes for navigation so they had to sit where they could see the most.
stop building robots and drones that look like they are made for humans
>>41402889
High chances of just one salvo of P-800 scoring a mobility kill on this thing.
>>41403065
actually an AC (not as crazy fast, as AC4's AC's though) would be much better.
its basically a plane that has legs.
and anon... if you think those things don't have weapons to fight ground/small shit, you don't know Armored Core.
they are more modular than you can possibly imagine.
plus this is a future where they have developed an incredible energy source (that is highly, highly radioactive, and destroys the world after the events of the game) that can power pretty much anything.
so they made giant, Super fast, super deadly Plane-tanks.
however, NEXTS are incredibly expensive and incredibly hard to pilot, so most people just use the clunky Stompy Mechs and hope to god one of the 120 or so NEXT pilots don't show up and rape them.
pls no kick
very offensive
>>41403112
Where else was it going to go, in the centre amongst the fuel tanks or at the back next to the engine?
Or, you know, at the front with the avionics, camera gear and weapons designator.
>>41403162
highly unlikely, as one of the most basic outfitings are Chaff and Anti-Heatseaker dispersals.
not to mention they can quick boost in any direction at speeds of 2000 KM's and can easily hide in the Jungle of buildings to trick the missle into hitting one of those instead.
or they just shoot the god damn missle down.
>>41403187
I'm not an engineer but I can guarantee you that drones won't look like they are made for humans as soon as the current generation of engineers retires and the next one who grew up with machines that didn't need human input take charge
>>41403162

This. asymetric tactics work now, they won't in the future.
Snipe a human infanteer through the head, he drops dead, his military loses his training and skill which takes at least another six months or so to replace if he's fresh out of training, let alone if he was a senior soldier, there's an immediate morale hit to his unit which can last days or weeks and needs specialist psychiatric care to be provided. Their only reaction is to all hit their belt buckles and start trying to work out where the shot came from while you slink off.
Snipe a drone infanteer through the head, you eliminate it's optic cluster, but it's CPU is still operational inside it's chest, that works out which cameras it lost contact with first, and from this establishes the direction of the shot before relaying this to the other drones of it's unit, which all sync their accoustic sensor data from the time of the shot and establish the exact position you fired from down to 95% accuracy. They then start brassing your position up so you can't move, whilst wordlessly coordinating as one of their number advances and drops a UGL round onto you with inhuman accuracy.
and the drone you shot is fully repaired and back on patrol within 48 hours.
>>41403162
the NEXTS warped the world they existed in, because the only answer to a NEXT was another NEXT, or a fucking giant Deathstar like the Spirit of Motherwill.

run a scan of the terrain and incorporate the geometry data within the robot, the robot will most likely have a GPS in it that will allow it to know its position relative to the map, and can still be functional as a unit that can shoot in a general direction
spoopy
>>41403267
Yup, that's fucking scary
>>41403295
Like pic related probably, practicality beats aesthetics, despite what our German friend thinks, the current drones were designed that way not out of nostalgia for manned planes, but because the aerospace engineers wanted simple, reliable designs without having to go through huge amounts of testing just to come up with something 'new'.
The next gen drones are being designed to provide limited air superiority capability as well as reconnaisance and airstrikes, so will be designed for low radar cross-section and maneuverability.

It just means that once one country's drones have beaten the other country's, the victor can occupy the loser's nation without having to worry about bad press from dead soldiers.
Human soldiers will eventually become irrelevent without significant use of human enhancement technology.
The thing is, we've come on in leaps and bounds in our technology in the last century, but the issue has been miniaturising it for infantry. Just compare our tanks or planes to those a century ago, whereas our infantry, night vision and trauma plates aside, are still using technology that's barely improved by comparison.
But that's starting to change.
Give it another half a century and a baseline human trying to engage either enhanced-infantry or infantry drones will be like a Sopwith Camel trying to take on an F22.

Most of the 'AI' you see now is just based on statistical models using huge amounts of data (ie Google). IBM have research in progress to simulate a biological neural network, but it's still in very, very early stages.

There are many theoretical reasons that this will always be the case and there are no theoretical reasons why this won't be the case.
Computers are created by humans and as thus will always be a reflection of humans. No human? No computer. Tools aren't tools without users, it's only when they're used do they serve their purpose. Shit's philosophical.

I'd also like to add that Boston Dynamics has two quadrupled robots.
One is more of a pack animal and the other is smaller and quicker. Big Dog is the clumsy one your use to seeing. It's slow but all terrain.
Cheetah is faster. It's not as steady on all terrain but contains programming that allows itself to orient on all fours if it falls.
It may be based of the righting reflex hence its name. It also sprints.

No one wants a strong AI, it just isn't something that happens by accident, you'd have to program you AI to have human desires.
AI are problem solving machines, no one would pay for one that might decide it doesn't want to do what you tell it to because it's having a bad day.
The real danger of AI is that they have no priorities other than solving problems, and super-human intelligence can design super-human weaponry, an AI will never go "Hmmm maybe I shouldn't follow this human's instructions to build a Tactical Matter-Antimatter Imploder, he seems a bit irresponsible for such a powerful weapon". It'll just design the best, most efficient doomsday device it's capable of designing.
Suitably advanced AI is like handing small children the keys to the armoury. THAT is the real danger of AI, not one of them magically developing a survival instinct and going Skynet on us when we try to power it down for maintenance.

>No worse than a gun or bomb death really
It will be harder to stop/evade. And handful of people could control armies of this things. Nowadays if you want an army you need to have human soldiers that may ignore blatlantly wrong or evil order (it happened many times in history, many times during cold war and false atomic attack alarms). You can't order your troops to slaughter your own cities if the rebel for instant, soldiers would rebel and you won't be able to use your "guns and bombs". But with this technology you need only some loyal man to operate an army. It's doors to real tyrany.

Think about how much faster computers allow you to gather the sources and complete research for something a benign as a college essay.
Computers started as a way to easily preform mass calculations that would take a long time for a human to preform. These mass calculations are critical to the advancement of economics/business, the natural sciences, and technology including the advancement of computers itself.
I wouldn't find it spooky. I'd only see it as an indicator in the way technology will progress in one's lifetime from here on.

Which it most certainly doesn't. Human behaviour is quite complex, there are many factors to it, situational and learned.
>>41404112
Neurons do not operate at particularly fast speeds, by the standards of modern computers, there just happens to be lots and lots and lots of them. On that basis, a simulation of a human brain could potentially be parallelised across a vast number of CPU cores.

Any sufficiently complex mathematical function will appear to behave chaotically. Just because it appears to be unpredictable, that doesn't mean that it doesn't follow the rules of mathematics on a fundamental level.

All they really need is a system that can harvest energy either from biomass or by connecting to energy infrastructure or stealing various petrochemicals.

What is your intelligence? It's the part of you that allows you to predict, to recognise patterns, that lets you get what you want and avoid things you don't.
None of that is emotion, those are completely seperate. If I removed everything from you EXCEPT your intelligence, if I removed your survival instinct, your desire to reproduce, to feed yourself and keep your mind stimulated etc, you'd just sit there, doing nothing, until you expired.
You'd still be just as capable of solving problems, of designing a tool or building a house as you were before all those desires were removed, but you'd have no motivation to do so.
Humans are not motivated by our intelligence, we're motivated by our desires and our emotional responses to the world around us. Our intelligence is just a tool like our hands that allows us to get what we want.
>>41404218
Do you know the real reason why your relationships with humans aren't illusions? Because they don't always work the way you want them to, people don't always empathise with you 100%, it's that little bit of reality that will always be foreign to computers. Maybe one day one of us will make this very same illusion, but in the back of your mind you've got to know it's always going to be a little too perfect, a little wrong.

Yea but neurons doesn't work as a processors does. Neuron webs are more complicated and interconected. Sure you could try to simulate that but what you are trying to get is to build a supercomputer probably size of large house (not including cooling) that uses energy imput similar to small town to simulate a work of human brain which is smaller than a persons skull and runs on oatmeal.
Sure there are advantages of computer brain (possible imortality, room to grow among many others) but still you need a lot of energy and money to replicate power of a single man.

On the subject of an artificial intelligence and if a computer can mimic the human brain. First, the A.I. that some are describing is a homunculus. It is fueled by the desire or fear of something that is human but not. It is a myth, a myth perpetuated very early on.
Outside of sex robots and replacements for human companionship, programming an A.I. to duplicate the human mind would be extremely counterproductive. Even in the case of a sex robot, it is unlikely they would want the A.I. to perfectly mimic that of a human being.
Secondly, current computers cannot be programmed to mimic the brain. They are advanced but there are several set backs that current make this impossible.
Quantum computers which may never even be pursued are capable of running the known mathematics of the human brain. I'm no scientist. Quantum computers are interesting in while being able to solve problems that the human brain can solve versus standard computers, they are also prone to error. It would be likely a problem would have to be ran several times with the most common answer accepted as correct. This makes them somewhat impracticable to pursue.
Others think that through speed, current computer technology will be able to match that of the human brain. Different mathematics but same capability. Much advancement in this area has been made... much more then keeping a quantum computer stable.
Storage of memory also is a problem in quantum computing.
I think a "synthetic brain" could be created but see no reason they would want to nor do we have that technology at the time. Paperclips better describe the problem then the Matrix movies.

>>41404362
This is true, there appear to be limits to how far any given task can be parallelised, and a simulation is generally significantly more inefficient than it's 'native' counterpart. However, you also need to consider that it may end up being perfectly viable for processors that simulate the human brain to be designed specifically for that purpose, in much the same way that a GPU is better suited for rendering computer graphics, and is far more efficient at doing so than a regular general-purpose CPU.

Anon, they are being developed for real world use but not on the front line. Many soldiers are injured and killed preforming simple transport runs without ever engaging in a fire fight. Although expensive, it is less expendable then the vehicles and soldiers who drive them.
It is also being considered for rescue mission like those preformed by the Red Cross.

>What could possibly go wrong?
If making the world safe for Democratic-Republican governments and post-ethnic-nationalim is "wrong" in your book, then you're a fucking retard.
Robots are America's way making the world a better place. Our corporations, vast resources, and Civic Nationalism allow us to be the ideal producers of a robot army (+ navy and airforce) since we have the cold drive to efficiently produce as much as possible (public corporations), in a cheap manner, and without the legal burdens that would apply in Old-World countries founded on ethnic nationalism or embroiled in such struggles. Simply put, we've got the economic capability, military necessity, and legal leeway necessary to build a robot military so that we can make the world a better place without having to worry about one ethnic group coming to power and using the military to suppress another one which happens all the time in the shittier parts of the world (i.e. the rest of the world).
Once we build this army, you can bet your ass that it'll be coming to a country near you. Ethnic nationalism needs to be stamped out by force if necessary and its niche in societies must be replaced by a legal-centric system that ethnically-neutral robots can fullfill. For that reason, it's in America's security interests to ensure that all countries be supplemented with our robots in order to reduce nationalistic conflict by having a 3rd party protect harmony between the people.
Peaceful world harmonization(or 'domination' if you're an anti-American) is in our national self-interest and these technologies have the capability of ensuring that internal nationalistic conflicts in foreign states can't escalate into international conflicts among state.
Besides, imagine how much better places like Africa, the Middle East, and Europe would be if American robot patrols could prevent nationalistic conflicts. Imagine how many genocides, civil wars, coups, and oppressive acts could be prevented.

Some foreigners just Need To Die. Who better to decide who lives and who dies than a country who's objective is to make the world better for freedom by promoting the legal protection of the God-given rights of man? Evil regimes must be exterminated and cold, unbiased, power of American robotics can ensure that the price of encroaching on man's God-given rights is infinity higher than the benefits accrued by doing so.
A robot army will be able to go abroad and slaughter the purveyors of leftist oppression, nationalistic conflicts, and challenges to the national self-determination of the nation-states who must be protected (i.e. Japan, Israel, Germany unfortunately, Saudi Arabia, Korea, Taiwan, much of SE Asia, Jordan, etc) from the savagery of multinational shitholes like China, Russia, Iranistan, Iraq, Turkey, the UK, South America, France, and much of Europe.
Terminating a billion friends of oppression will ensure the survival and well-being of over 100 billion children of liberty.

>>41405714
But its all true and needs to be done. The anti-American sentiments exist because mulitnational, freedom hating faggots of the world are impeded by their own internal conflicts and thus resort to civil-law-based authoritarianism, mulitnationalism (even in the form of over-arching organizations like the EU), and destabilizing acts of hostility.
The world doesn't need another USSR trying to snuff out freedom all over the world and incite even more nationalistic conflicts than already exist. Such villians should be stabbed to death in the crib instead of being allowed to bring down the rest of the world.
You think I'm increasing anti-American sentiments? Who cares? They all hate us anyways. In order to justify thier shitty existence and inferior mulitnational states, foreigners already blame us for everything and think we're the biggest villians around. Its not like we could make things any worse. Solving these problems in order to bring about a more civilized world in the New American Millennium would incur only marginal increases in resentment whilst eleminating such anti-Americanism in the long run.
America and the freedoms she tries to protect can't co-exist with the Old-World and its ties to Civil Law, ethnic nationalism, and petty conflicts. Europe can't stop trying to make us into a shithole like them. They keep trying to get our guns banned, speech censored, population divided on ethnic grounds and foreign policy decisions abandoned. Either American ways or the ways of the Old World have to go and I'll be damned if its us that has to yield.
Besides, our ethnic makeup would just make us targets of genocide if we fell and you know it. Germans and brits would be trying to exterminate us to prevent another American rise. If we don't make the world a better place, then the old world will destroy us since their ways are inferior but their national resentment can overcome our superior civic nationalism and wear us down. We MUST fix the old world.

Mechs will never happen outside of idiotic anime and hollywood movies. A large scale humanoid mech makes no sense at all. Why bother constructing arms and hands to hold oversized guns when for much less ressources you could avoid the countless problems involved and directly attach an optimized and far superior weapon? Why complex, unstable legs just to "glide" and walk when you could just add wheels? Why create a big, fragile, extremely inefficient and costly target that is both easy to hit and easy to destroy when you could instead build smaller, more powerful and stable alternatives without all the fancy crap?
There's a reason why we have tanks instead of mechs. A tank is more compact, more efficient, a lot cheaper and simpler, more stable, more enduring, has much better stability and consequently potential for much more powerful weaponry.
We already have the technology to build basic mechs but we don't. And we won't. Because those intelligent enough to do it know better than NEET wapanese morronic imbeciles.
