- Is it because of post-cold war education, all that futuristic Jetsons-like shit, and/or the Terminator effect that this scare the shit out of me?maquito
- *makesmaquito
- funnier to scare you with this freaky move than to show that it's made to do tasks what would be impossible with the limitations of the human body :)sted
- also i think it sticks and gets shared better :)sted
- just splash a glass of water at itKrassy
- This is so we all think of ‘80s Japan or Wall-e, while the robots that make rissoles from humans are at 80% charge.MrT

https://youtu.be/MgM…uan - Yeah, it's shit like this that's always given me a glimmer of hope about waste. I used to think that buying old landfill was a sound investment. I still do.Nairn
- Large sea combines which float and work their way through that garbage patch in the pacific ocean -- why do they not exist yet?drgs
- Its mostly plastic which floats, use that as fueldrgs
- Because the oceanic gyres are a bit like the asteroid belt in that they're mostly empty. From a reclamation perspective, anyway.Nairn
- it exists in concept...some people actually working on such projects: ‚seacleaners manta project‘uan
- I want to live on one of those combinesdrgs

- Hi Mark.utopian
- Why does it blink?
Then again why do we limit robots by making them in our image? God complex?grafician - In the determinants of trust in human to robot interaction physical design is almost as important as communication and contextual factorssted
- Like the mouse with the 2d drawing like movements and the keyboard with the positioned letters it makes easier to interact with a very complex tool.sted
- So are robots companions or simply tools?
If we want companions, we have dogs. Or other humans.
If we want tools, why do we make the tools blink?grafician - Also when we make robots "act like humans", I don't trust robots more, I trust humans less!grafician
- @£sted just thinking out loud, DO NOT start some shit, not in the moodgrafician
- this is a deadend road approach. Humans are too judgmental. It's better to a make a cute Johnny 5 like robot from the movie Short Circuit.shapesalad
- Yeah Johnny 5 with its tiny hands is going to put your 89 year old ass into the bed :)sted

- why scary?Krassy
- Because it's just a matter of time before the US military deploys these to kill people.i_monk
- all you gotta do is splash some water on 'emKrassy
- Eh, Doesnt seem like it will be cost efficient for a long time - $40k bonus for some poor kid to be a soldier. These things probably cost millionstoemaas
- They cost millions now. In 15 years? 30? And if it does the work of 20 high school drop outs?i_monk
