Google == Cyberdyne?

I just watched a segment on Ch4 news about it, and they said Google has bought 7 companies in this field over the last 7 months :omg:

With the first one or two I figured it was just billionaires buying cool toys - after all, whats cooler than robots? But now its a concerted effort - there must be an endgame. :suss: :~

Anyone else wonder what Google plans to do with the military Robots they are buying?

Lasers won't work, and take too much power. Build a large Tesla coil in each corner of the yard, triggered by a cheap motion sensor from the hardware store.

Alternatively, just don't clear the yard[^] ;) Animated Gif SFW

Automatic Australian BAR Rifle from WW2; fires kinda slow, but the shells are big and you could probably have a great time blasting chunks off the robot. Or else somebody needs to build an EMP grenade. :laugh:

Well I guess that's evolution: freakin' shark with laser beams attached to their head --> killer dolphins --> RobotDog --> OCP / Cyberdyne.... sounds logical and goddamn freaky, but we are all living in the matrix or a dragon's dream anyway... we missed the "Steve Austin" step though...

Perhaps they have been watching Almost Human?

That BigDog one has looked scary to me for years.

Even more so since it's been weaponized ^.

You probably wouldn't want to set an EMP off in your own garden considering the number of unshielded electronic devices you likely rely on ...

[Simon ORiordan from UK]

:^) This is true. How about an EMP gun then? Like in Sky Captain? :-D

Microwave bursts from your house will protect you from the critters. All you need is an old kitchen microwave and a metal cone. At the same time, they will also protect your garden from the chucks and other natural vermin as well. I wonder what micro waves will do to zombies?

You have been targeted for delivery. Sign here if you want to live.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

[NAANsoft]

I'm all in for vacuum valves. They do not care too much about EMP... ENIAC, go!

[NPowDev]

Maybe other already say it. I think... with a little help of DARPA... Yes! ;)

My high-speed internet connection will be monitored by provided by google. My car will record my every sneeze self drive with google. My internet searching will be profiled by free from google. My coding language will be HTML 5 and JS Dart. My TV will be all youtube advertisements channels. And my phone will NSA record run google w/ a Chinese-altered OS and handset. And of course the PC will be dead. And the best part...I will get Viagra ads spammed across every device! Happy day! I can't wait, bring on the T-2000!

They have all of us data. Google's having that much of user data from which it can create four different profile for a single person.
