DARPA: "we just finished playing Horizon: Zero Dawn and honestly, we think we can make this idea work."
Obligatory "fuck Ted Faro"
Average techbro tbh
It's legit scary to see tech approach the point where private companies might develop systems that could and in some way are endangering humanity as a species, and all their decision-makers are concerned with is corporate success.
... to see tech approach the point...
Big oil would like a word, alstarting in 1950 at least.
Not to mention literally researching global warming before anyone else bothered, verifying it is happening and that humanity is causing it, then spending decades gaslighting our entire species into widely believing it isn't.
We knew about global warming since 1900. We just didn't care.
Unless.
My god, what a cunt.
Well they are still missing the self replicating part... But you know, give it some time.
Apparently its the other way around. This tech is old: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/jul/19/robots-research
News to me. I loved the game andI really thought the plot was original.
I love how the quote cuts off right before "only goal".
Oh I assumed it was "our problem"
OK I also briefly thought "our problem" but I'm actually PRETTY CONCERNED about the words "only goal" when I really think about it? "Only", as in "Yeah, feeding on humanity is definitely ONE thing we're shooting for, but come on guys, there's lots of applications"
Excited for IRL Horizon Zero Dawn.
At least in Horizon they solved the climate crisis first, before creating the ribits that would wipe out all life
Uhh I played this game. It's literally the plot of ::: spoiler Title Spoiled game :::
Your spoiler tag isn't working.
Yeah I can't get any of them to work. Do you know what Lemmy uses?
The format is ::: spoiler and a title on the same line.
Content on new lines, then ::: to end it.
I've tried every variation and it's not working. This is definitely the most complicated spoiler tag system I've seen.
They look like this
It's an expandable full-width deal. The spoiler start tag has to be on its own line, and the same goes for the ending three commas.
MelodiousFunk has replied with a cleartext example.
Interesting. I'm using boost and your comment isn't spoiler tagged for me. That's also how mine is currently formatted. Shame since this app has a spoiler tag button that appears to match the format.
This one works on my client, while normal ones don't
Breaking: Company creates Torment Nexus
I knew it was old news! I read this article 8 years ago
Even older than that
Has no one played Horizon Zero Dawn?
I guess we are in that timeline. Tbh, so many things make a lot of sense now.
Someone put bullets in Ted faro. Literally screwed humanity as a whole...twice.
Onion? No? Great...
Next up "researchers wondered what would happen if they put AI to a machine that can consume humans for energy"
Now just make them sentient and self replicating and….
You either get Horizon Zero Down or replicators from Star Gate
Or paperclips!
So it's not supposed to be used to eat the dead, good. OMG. It's supposed to eat the life ones!
Apparently the robot is designed to be vegan.
But we all know a robot that feasts on the corpses of genocide victims isn't too far fetched.
We now have a team. The flamethrower dog robot that cooks for the corpse eater.
What the fuck kind of future is this?
If I'm gonna be eaten by a robot I'd much rather be dead first.
These robots don’t do that part. They will build new robots to make corpses for them.
Finally! A productive solution to mass graves!
Faro plague time
Sweet... early stages of the Faro plague
