SoftBank (a Japanese company) bought Boston Dynamics not long ago. I can't believe no other tech company bought them much sooner.

- Ah shit, I totally forgot about that. Not fan of it either. But I thought Google works closely with the CIA and defense industry...NBQ00
- Robots like BD's have fuck all relevant comercial value at the moment, which is why SofBank bought them, because they're shit at investing, Y! aside.Nairn
- SoftBank are big hitters in the WeWork mess too?MrT
- SoftBank is a huge conglomerate with investments in lots of things. This is probably a drop in the bucket for them.yuekit
