What the fuck did these people think their inventions would be used for?
The day I first saw one of those doggy bots many years ago I said they will be used by police and armed forces. Fuck I hate being right sometimes.
V2 rocket company employees walked out in protest in Nazi Germany today over the fact Hitler authorized their use on German soil. One scientist on the protest lines was quoted as saying “we thought we were making weapons to kill the untermench outside our borders, using them on aryans is unconscionable”.
(Yes I know slave labor was heavily used in V production which only makes Boston Dynamics employees bigger monsters)
Boston dynamics employees only now figured out what these robots mostly will be used for?
“They told me they’d be pets that would never die!”
Ok? And police all over the world as well as the militaries of various countries buying them wasn’t an issue?
Why do people everywhere have such shitty moral compasses? It’s like nobody reads or watches anything or listens to anybody.
Did they think everybody’s comments of horror were jokes? Do people just think bad shit never comes to fruition?
I spent my life in sales, and always knew that I could get a high paying gig in the tobacco industry, but that was a line I drew when I was young.
Who did they think they were building the robogestapo for?
Next month, 3D printing EMP parts is now outlawed.
3D printing EMP parts
It turns out, you can’t make copper coils out of TPU…
As I think about it now, given the thermal conductivity of copper, I’d bet it would be damn near impossible to 3d print with it.
Laser sintering would probably work.
Perhaps.
And to be clear, I have no doubt that it could heat the copper, I just wonder if it can prevent the hot liquid copper being extruded from instantly melting the copper below it that was previously laid down.
I did some soldering with gold recently and was shocked at how well it conducted heat from one side of the part to the other. I’d get one wire attached to a contact and then when I brought a wire to the second contact, the first would melt and that wire detached.
It was frustrating.
Either sabotage or GTFO.
Protest from, but they don’t quit.
Imagine working at Boston Dynamics and not seeing this coming.
They tried to poach me. It probably would have been an amazing job, i knew a bunch of the people that would be on my team. Noped out.
While true, I’d rather see them protesting than not (as a consolation prize).
They’re just complaining to protect their self-image. They’ll go back to cashing their paychecks.
