Great, Boston Dynamics has connected their robot dogs into ChatGPT. Nothing like autonomous, killer robots run by AI. (ps. the people at Boston Dynamics give away a lot in their body language...they always stay a few meters away from the robots, must have been a safety incident in the past). #robots#AI#AIpocalpysehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djzOBZUFzTw
Someone bought a Roomba here, and it is now attempting to take down the Ethernet network here by eating network cables off the floor (had to save the Ethernet cables). It's got a camera on it (yes... privacy hole) if you want to peer into my life 🤪 #robots#roomba
I'm super chuffed that I've just found the adorable @smolrobots on the #Fediverse!
(I'm a little bit late to the party)
Go and give them a follow, they could deal with some #fedilove - and you may need some more #smol#robots in your life too!
On a side note: Having beautiful #ALTtext on images has the nice side effect that unconventional Mastodon media browsers like mine get to display them in all their glory (in addition to making them accessible to more hoomans).
Je retire tout ce que j’ai pu dire sur Foundation et ses divergences d’avec l’œuvre (over datée) d’Asimov.
Il y a des trouvailles qui relèvent du génie (la dynastie génétique, la transformation de Daneel en Demerzel, l’implication directe de cette dernière et tant d’autres !)
Vivement la suite.

Israeli deadly #robots; The new weapon of the regime in the Gaza war
During the genocidal war and non-stop aggressive attacks against the Gaza strip, the IDF soldiers use remote-controlled robots that are used to perform various military missions such as reconnaissance, imaging, search and explosion.
During the recent attacks on the #Jabalia camp, the IDF widely used explosive robots; Especially in places where it was not possible to enter due to the intensity of the resistance.
A new wormy robot could help with jet engine inspections at GE Aerospace, according to an announcement this week. Sensiworm, short for “Soft ElectroNics Skin-Innervated Robotic Worm,” is the newest outgrowth in GE’s line of worm robots, which includes a “giant earthworm” for tunneling and the “Pipeworm” for...
A new ferroelectric polymer that efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical strain has been developed by Penn State researchers. This material, showing potential for use in medical devices and robotics, overcomes traditional piezoelectric limitations.
Would you transfer your consciousness to a robot for immortality?
I wouldn't. Immortality sounds miserable to me.
