uh years ago so boston dynamics is the company that does those incredible viral videos with the the spot robot it looks like a dog and then the atlas robot that can do parkour and they've been working on this for decades and the company has changed hands a few times google owned it at one point i think hyundai bought it for a while and it's moved around but it's always been a company that wasn't particularly focused on government contracting and defense contracting um but

Back in 2013 or 2012, 2013, I was living with this hacker guy who went on their website and figured out how to scrape all the files from their website, even the ones that weren't necessarily like fully public. Like they were public, but they just weren't like actually shown to people on the website. They were just like hosted there.

And one of them was a sketch artist of their humanoid robot holding a gun. And so it was very clear that they had at least someone in their organization at least like pitched it to the government and said like, Hey, like we could maybe do this. And then I think someone was like, we're not doing that. But, but they have this one humanoid robot called Petman.

And it was designed, you got to pull up a video or image of this because it's crazy. Because the stated mission of Petman was to test the mobility of equipment to prevent like gas attacks. So imagine you need to wear like essentially a space suit on the battlefield to avoid like some terrible biological attack or some gas. So it's a gas mask, but it's also a body suit.

and you make the suit and then you need to put it through its paces. So you literally like paces, like you need to have it be like, yes, we put this on a human and the human ran for a hundred miles. And so we know it's not gonna break after a hundred miles of usage.

could do stuff just like putting in a washing machine just beat it up and see if it holds its like it doesn't break or get leaks but putting it on a humanoid robot and just having the robot walk there for you know 10 miles or 100 miles is a pretty good way to test this stuff and so that's what they were using that for but there was no reason i mean you see this thing it's just super militarized and you just think like okay like this is where this going and every time that there's a boston dynamics video that drops everyone always says like these things are gonna have guns on them eventually

And some people have put guns on them and the corridor crew, this wonderful YouTube channel has actually done like a CGI version where they had the Boston, they call it boss town dynamics. And they, and they had a whole version of like training them with guns. But basically all of the, all of the clues are pointing to this, this happening.

And it just feels like someone's going to put the pieces together that the tech exists and And this would be massively viral and controversial and get me a ton of attention, which could be good. It could be bad, but I could at least harness it. And so I think someone's going to do it. Maybe they're listening right now.
