Do you guys know about Google X? The "semi-secret research & development facility"

[Fedorgasm]

It's old news, they did a test over new Zealand years ago.

How about voice activated devices in Google Home that listen to everything going on in your house? I figured CTers would be all over this and Amazon's Alexa. Even the old time clappers are always listening.

 

[milliniar]

Don't forget Google also owns Boston Dynamics, so they got people making robots to house their AI. Google is skynet!.

It's news, they overdid it years ago in New Zealand.

Yep. I almost added a list of companies google bought in the op but i didn't wanna make the op too long. But yeah them acquiring boston dynamics is a red flag to me. They also are partners with D Wave Systems, who make quantum computers.

They all sound cool except for the diabeetus contacts. Those fat bastards need to deal with the anguish of having to prick themselves to measure their beetus levels every day

Hahaha

Beetus levels

One missile is all it takes to sink a ship now though, and floating out in the ocean is much less discreet than hiding your servers in random warehouses. Google the exocet used in the falklands war.

It only costs 200k to sink a billion dollar ship.

The ships would mean that they can move to be under the umbrella of various states.

 

[original doom]

I hope they can get this friggin longer lasting battery into production.

I'm no CT'er but I have pretty serious concerns about what those robots could be used for with the right AI and weapons. I don't really think that's a joke. Have you seen what those things can do? Now, make them semi-intelligent and network them together, scary stuff.

I feel the same way. Google acquired Boston Dynamics, which makes robots. They are partnered with D Wave Systems, which makes quantum computers. And the D Wave Systems founder said they are actively trying to make AI and that quantum computers will help greatly for that.

So you combine a worldwide wireless network infrastructure, robots, and AI to put in the robots, and that equals....well I don't know. But it doesn't sound too good.

 

[Guestx]

and Teleportation, which was found to violate the laws of physics.

Fucking LOL!

But for real, Google needs to fuck right off with this world domination shit they're trying to do.

Eventually the citizenry needs to just storm all their facilities with torches, pitchforks and explosives and take care of this problem once and for all.

But that's just the thing, if you have a worldwide wireless network, the AI doesn't need to reside in the robots. They can all be run by the one supercomputer, or quantum computer if they ever get to practicality.

Edit: and no, I didn't read that on some website, it's just logic. What I am more worried about is having them be semi-autonomous with human-provided instructions, like find everyone in sector 7G that fits a certain description and disappear them.

Yeah. I agree completely.

 

[Andy Capp]

So, yeah, FWIW, I'm a Trump-hating liberal but I'm far more worried about Google than I am about Russia. It's just that Russia poses the more immediate threat so I won't say any more on that topic.

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

Fucking LOL!

haha I know right! That part got me too

I have a potato gun and i'm not afraid to use it

 

[Andy Capp]

America's ruin, if it ever comes to that, will be from the inside. That's my feel anyway.

The funny thing is, in principle, I love seeing money being spent on pure research that might not pay off for decades. That's how Bell Labs made so many great discoveries. The problem is that all signs point to far less altruistic designs on the part of Google.

Exactly. Put that money/research into medical improvements, or food crop improvements. Put it towards improving the lives of the millions of homeless/starving people in the world. We don't need internet upgrades or fucking hoverboards when millions of people literally have nothing to eat.
