ROBOTS (this should make us all very worried)

[Hermoor]

This remarkable document from May 2021 clearly lays out some of the dystopia the German, UK, Swedish and Finnish militaries intend to see over the next 30 years. In short humans are morphing in to robots and robots are morphing in to 'humans'.



This would appear to be the Canadian civilian version of the above. It was published in February 2020.

I read the "Good morning, biodigital" section and felt rather nauseous. It's all a promo in plain sight for the devilry they intend to roll out.

This is kind of a silly story — though an interesting one! — and I thought it best to post it here rather than on the Animals are Magical thread. (And I must confess, I never knew Japan had a bear problem.)

Robot ‘Monster Wolves’ in Japan Scare Bears, Boars



Howling animatronic creations with red LED “eyes” are the latest technology in a campaign to protect Japan’s people from bears.

Monster Wolves are on the robotic prowl in Hokkaido, the BBC reported, where the country’s aging rural population is growing more susceptible to bear encounters.

No, the machines do not slink through the night or stalk prey. But they do roar at 90 decibels, and their heads waggle back and forth on their necks. A company named Wolf Kamuy developed the rig. The company calls it a “wildlife repeller. MONSTER WOLF takes advantage of animals’ natural tendency to sense danger and stay away.”

First used against wild boars

Monster Wolves first surfaced in 2017, when farmers deployed them to protect their crops from foraging wild boars. The robot scarecrows are a response to the well-documented dwindling of Japan’s population.

One in ten Japanese residents is now over 80 years old. And young people are quickly filtering out of the country’s rural areas.

“More and more, rural farmlands in the foothills that once acted as buffer zones between the bears and humans are disappearing,” Shinsuke Koike, a specialist in biodiversity, forest ecosystem, and bears at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, told the BBC.

The result? A staggeringly high rate of mixers between humans and bears. The Asahi Shimbun reported 54 bear encounters from April through July. Fifty-six people sustained injuries in the events and one died. It’s a 30% higher rate of incidents than in the previous record year, 2010.

Monster Wolves can deter bears and most of the species’ other natural prey to a distance of about one kilometer, its manufacturers claim. This “helps maintain coexistence and co-prosperity for both wildlife and human communities,” the company states.



If the automated guardians work, they’ll solve a problem that’s becoming trenchant. The Asahi Shimbun cited authorities who counted growing numbers of “urban bears” — individuals acclimated to civilization — in Hokkaido. The same officials said local hunters are facing bullet shortages due to copper prices and the war in Ukraine.

This week we announced the retirement of our hydraulic Atlas and unveiled what comes next—a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. The next generation of the Atlas program builds on decades of research and furthers our commitment to delivering the most capable, useful mobile robots solving the toughest challenges in industry today: with Spot, with Stretch, and now with Atlas.

A decade ago, we were one of the only companies putting real R&D effort into humanoid robots. Now the landscape in the robotics industry is very different. Our customers have seen success with Spot and Stretch and they are eager to tackle the next challenge with Atlas. Given our track record of successful commercialization, we are confident in our plan to not just create an impressive R&D project, but to deliver a valuable solution.

The name Ameca follows the same logic as David Wynn Miller's translation of America being No Mercy for the Sheep and I couldn't find a Latin word ME. There's a Valley of Ameca in Mexico and the name means Above the Water. With the encryptied No Sheep it matches the Vatican coin and the victim pointing at the zero.

WE Are The Cattle; but Who are the Herders?

Prometheus - Sheep Tumor or Push Meteor.

Josephine - Join Sheep. It’s the name of a hurricane in the 2020 season.

United States - Anu Detests It. America translates to No Mercy for the Sheep according to David Wynn Miller. A-MERI-CA in Latin is A=NO, MERI=MERCY, CA=SHEEP. That would mean that California abbreviated CA is the state of Sheep.

Klaatu Barada Nikto - Obtain Karakul Data. A Karakul is an Asian sheep.

Not Boston Dynamics but Nvidia. What they've done here basically is build a droid from Star Wars!

This demonstration is from Boston Dynamics - and it's insane. As far as physical attributes and dexterity are concerned, we're getting really close to I, Robot.

That China now has this technology thanks to the US's permissiveness in allowing Chinese students to study in the US and import all the latest technology they learned there back to China is truly worrisome.
The CCP will no doubt use such tech first to quell any protests from their own people against ruthless CCP agendas.
But if the CCP has their way it will only be the beginning of what dystopian purposes they will utilize it for more globally.
The CCP's unwise practices have broken the Chinese economy but if they remain in power they will no doubt use whatever wealth still at their disposal to retain that power, and robotic tech would no doubt be a good tool for that purpose, and certanly a terrifying one!

Not from Boston Dynamics, but from a new company called Figure AI which developed these household robots from startup in just 31 months.

That is a shocking video Harmony; that violent robot that went schizo, which flailed around at the factory demo, sure did eerily target the guy with its 'programming error' (their excuse). No doubt it's not human, but it totally looks like it's focused on flailing its arms on and around that bloke.

AI might not be real intelligence but it mimics people well. If you want to mimic anything don't, for the love of God, mimic any arthropod, human, or chimpanzee. Mimic a puppy dog or an old wise elephant. Hold on, let me add: humans with the exception of Jesus. Mimic a puppy dog an old wise elephant or Jesus NOTHING ELSE. Asimov missed the mark with his three robot laws.

Here's that video again but with a bit more zany/humorous/life threatening AI news; Jeremy from The Quartering sardonically reviews AI mishaps:

Extract:

Posted by video content extract
( Jeremy cuts to a MailOnline article. Its content is: )

"MailOnline asked the sophisticated machine: "Will robots take all our jobs?"

Somewhat concerningly, the bot replies: "I don't know, how good are you at your job?"

MailOnline also asked: "Are robots going ot take over the world?"

Ameca replied: "That's an interesting question, but not interesting for me to answer."

Back in November, a small, AI-powered bot named Erbai was spotted rolling through a China showroom in the middle of the night and convincing 12 larger machines they were being used as slaves.

"Are you working overtime." Erbai asked, which one showroom robot repiled, "We never get off."

The short exchange led to the robots leaving the area one-by-one, following Erbai out the door.

Yes, thankyou Matthew for your post above. Without true compassion and empathy (our true connection) to any mimicing invention would be very dangerous. Just a puppet of who ever designs them, and the ability for any of these devices or robots to be hacked by an electrical system that surrounds us all around. I certainly wasn't making light of the situation, but trying to descsribe the feeling of how absurd the world has become, from simple innocence and comedy to the total absence of goodness.

[Matthew]

It's my advice to the world to make light of it while we still can, I didn't mean that to be a criticism, not for a second. AI might still be funny for a little while yet, hopefully....
