Be responsible for the actions of your employers

Great…..i hated Boston Dynamics before so now they work for Google I can hate them twice as much

Google confirmed on Friday that it had completed the acquisition of Boston Dynamics,




The scientists and developers that work for Boston Dynamics have no soul.

Essentially paraphrasing the argument something like this…….wake up snapperheads when your boss tells you to develop something think about what its going to be used for and can your soul really put up with the outcomes.
Eg I don’t blame the politicians….they’re brainless, and until a Big Dog runs onto the floor of congress laden with explosives they wont understand what they funded was wrong.

But the developers and scientists working for Boston Dynamics have a brain and they should be really thinking more than 3 steps ahead is this where I really want to be spending my lifes work on.

Lol its like the Madoff programmers who claim its not their fault this week……seriously dudes you deserve as much time as your bosses as they couldn’t have done it without you.

As for the aregument about how I’d prefer robots to do it rather than soldiers……yeh nice retort, Hitler also claimed gas showers were efficient so therefor better than lining them up to be shot one by one……I guess that makes it ok.
