Well then do I have something to show you...

That line was clearly a direct shot at Elon.

Old Atlas ran, jumped, fell, got harassed, busted their hydraulic kneecap open, so that New Atlas could fly
I wanna how much drug anyone who greenlit this had just downed to get there.Creepier than THIS??
Who thought that was a good idea though?
You see Boston robotics literally dancing around these fools with actual working tech and you got this fool trying to sell a vision of some shit they started thinking about yesterday.
Elon is a flim flam man like PT Barnum. He didn't have a robot ready so he had this guy start dancing in a robot suit to increase stock. It's not working out too well because he keeps being a nazi and making horrible business decisions, see the Cybertruck, but he has so much fucking money that it's nigh impossible for any decision he makes to actually hurt him.
Elon surrounds himself with yes men at all levels. Even if literally everyone else there realized how terrible of an idea it was, they would have just kept their mouths shut and nodded along, lest they lose their jobs.
Reminds me a bit of the Pit Droids from Star Wars. I'm curious if that was intentional. I still believe that their doggo Spot has more commercial viability. My personal guess is that Atlas is going to be used in some specific industrial or dangerous scenarios where you need two hands, whilst Spot has proven its worth already by being a platform for various sensors to give readouts to operators, combined with a single multifunctional manipulator arm. I work in GIS and would love to have a Spot with a LiDAR or GPS unit on it to make fieldwork more easy.
We're lucky that moron doesn't make videogames, he would have promoted his WW2 shooter with actual short clips of Saving Private Ryan.
It should be self evident but anyone surrounding themselves with yesmen truly has no idea what they're doing.
One thing that nobody in Sci-fi predicted accurately, but that seems inevitable now, is that the steps leading up to the advent of AGI are going to be just as potentially deadly (if not moreso) than rogue thinking machines.
Just a reminder that this was Atlas 10 years ago.

Fuckin amazing what they've done.
Also this movie is fantastic. I watch it all the time with my kids and I still laugh at it. Criminally underrated.

Its a bit weird, but everyone of course exaggerates it into being the creepiest thing/TERMINATORS ARE COMING etc
I'm pretty sure they intentionally make these videos creepy because it gets people talking about the product. That's just marketing.
Sure it could end up being a deathbot, but this could also end up being the staff member you're cussing out in McDonald's at 4am for giving you the wrong number of McNuggets.
Seriously though, it's pretty obvious the billionaire class and military are slobbering over the thought of not needing humans and their pesky free will and inability to work 24/7 without rest. Going to be interesting times when these things are ready for application.

legitimately one of the most terrifying things i've ever seen. sheesh. I mean the tech is incredible, it's just horrifying to look at.
Has anyone else seen that post-apocalyptic movie Love and Monsters with Dylan O'Brien? Anyways, this robot looks like it was ripped directly from there.

I have seen it and I don't usually like saying this but I genuinely can't remember anything that happened in it.
They have their Spot robot which they are selling as a commercial product, and they are also owned by Hyundai the car company.
I don't find it creepy at all, how fucked up does that make me?
Can you?
Nothing to stop a second company from churning out the military versions...
Between the creative people at Duolingo and the people Boston Dynamics they really sell you on the idea that their mascot is going to murder you horribly. Anyone looking at this video and not feeling a bit uneasy should get their head examined. It's absolutely terrifying. In a "good" way.
You can fucking see Elon on the side being like "Holy shit they're fucking buying it."
