      @urbanstrencan because we’re great at engineering ourselves out of existence.

    We all see where this is going, especially when you see all of them lined up together just wait for them to be holding rifles. 😮

    There’s a mix of comments reflecting the potential usage of the technology in the video. The problem is never with the tool. It’s always with the humans who use it. Influence > Observation

    • @asthmaenthusiast

      September 1, 2026 at 9:34 am

      It’s reasonable to anticipate how a tool will be used and to then not create the tool.

    中國民眾說,今天的天災人禍讓他意識,到自己加入了一個禍國殃民的邪惡組織,現在聲明退出中共。來看他們的聲明。

    江蘇南通的嚴琪越說:
    我是一名在校學生,在學習期間,被迫加入少先隊、共青團,這並非我的自願。 今年南方北方罕見爆發大洪水,多地頻發地震,中共邪黨卻阻止民間自發救助,在故意不通知的情況下開閘防水,造成受災民眾雪上加霜,苦不堪言。 意識到自己加入的是一個禍國殃民的邪惡組織,深表厭惡,宣告退出中共這個邪黨組織,抹去獸印,選擇美好未來。

    北京的陳翰祥說:
    中共的《江澤民》紀錄片中不以為恥反以為榮地提到了對法輪功的迫害,又是一頓給大法和李大師潑髒水,這個與「真、善、忍」做對的邪黨簡直是無可救藥了,我羞於與之為伍,宣告退出加入過的共青團、少先隊!

    Chinese citizens who experienced the Mao Zedong era, the Great Famine, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre have declared their withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Here are their statements:

    A citizen using the pseudonym “Ping An Jiankang” said: “I survived the Mao Zedong era and the Great Famine. Mao Zedong harmed countless people! I do not acknowledge the Party, the Youth League, or the Young Pioneers; I withdraw from them. I believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance!”

    Liu Mingbai from Hubei said: “In 1989, I was working in Beijing and personally experienced the Tiananmen Square Massacre. I witnessed the CCP’s persecution of students fighting for democracy and freedom, and I witnessed the CCP’s bloodshed, brutality, lies, deception, and evil. At that time, I told myself: I withdraw from all CCP organizations; I am not a member, and I will never join again! Today, I understand even more the meaning of ‘withdrawing from the CCP for safety.’ I hereby solemnly declare: I withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers, erasing the mark of the beast.”

    What’s Boston dynamics doing these days?

    • @Darrylizer1

      August 31, 2026 at 3:27 pm

      Weren’t they doing much better than this ten years ago?

  20. @KashifNawaz85

    August 31, 2026 at 9:09 am

    Meanwhile the United States of Îsraēl is distributing democracy around the world.

  21. @Darrylizer1

    August 31, 2026 at 3:26 pm

    So wasn’t Boston Dynamics doing this over ten years ago?

    • @Yenhongsin77

      September 1, 2026 at 12:05 am

      Depend what you consider the same, Boston Dynamic Atlas if run at maximum speed from the beginning, still need 45 s, if use 10 years ago specs, it will be more than 1 min, but we don’t know atlas can achieve this, or the stress make atlas fall. pretty sure atlas also gonna be part of worst competitor in many category because not design for this. I think boston dynamic is invited by they (probably afraid) declined.

    • @Darrylizer1

      September 1, 2026 at 1:10 am

      @Yenhongsin77 Judging from what I’ve watched Boston Dynamics has nothing to be afraid of.

    • @Yenhongsin77

      September 1, 2026 at 6:14 am

      You mean finished at last place is no problem? The fastest American robot is Cassie which only bipedal, not humanoid, and still a lot slower. Boston dynamic atlas only humanoid only have purpose with in athletic department will mostly not gonna close of winning in this kind of games

  22. @freydey

    September 1, 2026 at 6:08 am

    What’s the point of making them humanoid? Just make em efficient.
