  1. Not a Cinderella ending for Disney.

    I want a robot dog with an AI brain.
    To keep me safe from the robot cops with the state mandate to crush freedom and beat down the individual.

    1. Spot the robot dog cost $75K in 2020, that may have come down a bit since then. Spot isn’t very smart, he can’t do very much. Not a bad remote control camera platform, but he needs a human to drive him around.

      You can get a standard poodle for $5k, much more useful.

      Show me a robot dog as smart as my standard poodle, then I’ll want one.

      1. I don’t deny the intelligence of the poodle, and my love of real dogs goes beyond words, but I’m talking about a steel dog with an AR 15 on its back and a bite like an alligator.
        (I’m a Bouvier Des Flandres guy.)

  2. Nice to see DEI hires quietly getting the chop at HouseOfMouse. This is good news. Not enough, but at least a start.

    Unfortunately, one of those dudes on with Tim Poole in that video is a Moon Landing Denier. “The moonwalks were shot on a sound-stage” he says. “They just don’t look real” he says.

    Where do they find these idiots?

    So the whole rest of the conversation about robots, you can pretty well ignore. None of them have a clue what they’re talking about.

  3. Funny how there is panic in the streets over AI now, just when it is about to hit the big time. Where was all the concern back in the early Eighties when the first edition of AI made its debut and put the steno pool out of business. Remember back in the Fifties and Sixties when short-hand was taught in the ‘commercial’ courses in high school. Then along came IBM and Mr. Gates and before we knew it everybody and their brother had a computer and lawyers instead of hiring a stenographer and typist as office assistants only had to buy a computer, printer and a program and the steno-pool died as did the typist. I don’t remember any wailing and gnashing of teeth, or bringing out the ashes and the hair shirts then!
