Corridor Digital's comedic fake video of a Boston Dynamics robot fighting back against its human tormentors, made with motion capture and VFX.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN brings it up only as a joke about robot uprisings and future AI overlords.
“Funny thing”
It takes time for tech to develop. We have in our homes small simple robot toys and Roomba-like robots clean our apartments. Each step seems very little compared with our expectations. But, technology will get with time cheaper, and easier to use. Funny thing: this video
I wonder if the guys behind the previous "Bosstown Dynamics" videos will spoof this as they did with this video
“I sure hope our future overlords can tell that it was just a joke, and not a documentary!”
Looking at the gif of a guy picking on the robot by messing with the chips it's supposed to get, I can't help but be reminded of that one Boston Dynamics parody [0]. I sure hope our future overlords can tell that it was just a joke, and not a documentary! [0] this video
