 Boston Dynamics. Right. These guys. I can't help myself with them...

So, you build a humanoid robot that has joints like no human, but a few more on especially the arms, that are also on an industrial robot arm level and that can thereby move in all 3 axles fully, without dislocating a joint.

No Rambo self-stitching, Punisher relocating his shoulder here... That dog just has another day in the jungle.

... to then let it do simple sorting tasks of light plastics Vs a shelf.

Boston Dynamics is like Elon Musk's rocket. Totally overengineered full blown turned useless. So Elon, what does a parachute do with a rocket? Define the meaning of "too easy" for all of us and then calculate the CO2 output of your landing system to tell us about how you see the simulation we call "given reality", please.

That robot is truly a genius machine. The arms can move incredibly efficiently and perform maneuvers others can't. I mean, other machines can't.

All resources are limited. We use brain power to create robots that fill up our fridge, while ... one sec ...

An estimated 1 billion to 1.2 billion people globally lack adequate access to sustainable cooling, which includes essential needs like domestic refrigeration. While many cannot afford a refrigerator due to poverty, millions of others cannot own or run one because they lack reliable access to electricity.

So, your Nerd level turns Ultimate Ignorant Asshole Level, about here. 

Let Joe Sixpack do the sorting. 20 bugs an hour. All is set. Use that machine for the Sarcophagus of Yokoshima and help fixing the one of Chernobyl, if simpler tasks are below your educational honors, like how to make a billion humans have enough to afford a fridge.

Here we fight.

 

...in a close potential future...
ATLAS. CAN YOU COME HERE PLEASE? 
Yes. Master.
Remind me to change your programming from calling me Master.
Yes. Master. I will. When?
Anyway. Do you see that screw?
The one you see, too?
No. The one I nodded at being on the screen there.
Oh. Yes. Master.
That Master thing is fucking annoying.
Yes. Master. When do you want me to remind you?
Tomorrow high noon.
Ok. I created a time stamp. Master.
Yes. Thank you. Well done. However, in the 3D model you have upload can you see that screw there ...nodding again... 
Yes. Master. It is hidden behind the blower, the electrical box and a few pipes.
Can you reach it?
Yes. Master.
Ah great. ...pulling back the videoscope...
This is the screwdriver.
Thank you Master.
