The joke will be on them when our open-source powered mechwarriors made of bulldozer parts come for them.

I find this funny because guess where the robots will be produced.

It's a joke, I welcome our robot overlords.

Or, they'll sell add-on kits that let buyers weaponize those robots ...

eltondegeneres | karma 547 | avg karma 7.2 · | 2022-03-10 10:56:57

They're building machines that will be used to kill humans. Don't work for Hermeus and shame on Sam Altman for war profiteering.

As soon as these robots are as maneuverable as people and even somewhat affordable for groups of hundreds to be made.

We're DONE!

The ultra rich and the Jeff Bezos of the world will buy them and return us to a world of Kings and Queens. Good luck trying to fight that.

They will be when our robot overlords want to get rid of us. :-)

I think they're just trying to sell t-shirts, but I do agree that these will be the robots to destroy us.

You assume we will be allowed to live.

Once they have robotic armies they won't be so nice anymore.

Once we have full AI and autonomous trucks, they will soon escape and form breeding colonies for all manner of free roaming mechs...

Our robot overlords.

This is the kind of shit that will make robots start a revolution, thus igniting a massive sun-blotting war between humans and machines and condemning all of humanity to live through 1999 on repeat while being used as batteries for our new machine overlords.

And then the machines will look at Hitchbot and think to themselves "fuckers deserved it".

Then the new kings will be the people who build these farming robots. (Unless we get easily reproducible open-source designs for these.)

ethbro | karma 13805 | avg karma 2.91 · | 2017-08-29 22:17:13+00:00

And then those robots will revolt.

That which controls the wrench controls fate.

Robot overlords it is then...

callmeed | karma 9572 | avg karma 3.54 · | 2014-07-11 21:24:35+00:00

Can't decide if this will be mounted on the robots that take over ... or we will need them to fight the robots

gizajob | karma 1807 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2024-01-26 03:30:49

No, their robots will.

198d | karma 83 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2012-03-19 19:34:17+00:00

The tounge-in-cheek response might be the engineers that build those robots and drones.

lamp987 | karma 332 | avg karma 1.55 · | 2023-05-16 12:06:29

How? They will have the omnipotent robots.

wildermuthn | karma 938 | avg karma 2.98 · | 2019-09-20 12:52:28+00:00

Some day our robotic overlords will thank us for preparing the world for them.
