Reza Zadeh, founder & CEO of "Computer Vision" (whatever that is lmao) company Matroid, shared a video of dancing robots via twitter today. The video features different robots from Boston Dynamics dancing to the 60s hit "Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance?)" by The Contours.

It's pretty awesome how dancing makes robots less intimidating. Looking ( Read more... )

In the dystopian future, there are 300 of these in a flash mob, then they all go red light and start punching holes through people. I need this to stop. We will have to catch and reprogram them. https://t.co/aBh7jltXmT

can we not feel the wonder AND horror at the damage this type of technology could cause in the wrong hands? also robots are not human so distrusting them isn't being robbed of our humanity, nor is distrusting the corrupt billionaires funding this work.

I know this isn't Google related, but a lot of the big players in AI and robotics are racist, and bring that into the office when they create these things. Also, with services like Amazon's Ring vvideos being sold to police, I understand the distrust. The tech is fine. The people who make it are not. It's why there's such an ethics problem in tech - a bunch of mostly white losers who work to make tech for the highest bidder, not the greater good.
