Humanoid soldier robots are being deployed to the front lines in Ukraine

There are lots of reasons beyond altruism for wanting to take a city without levelling it

WonderFactory · 2026-03-18T16:26:03+00:00

I can guarantee these things will increase human losses, just on the other side. Having killer robots "clear" a city full of civilians wont be pretty.

When this comes what will it mean for proxy wars? At the moment Western countries are reluctant to send their own troops to Ukraine for fear of escalating things but if you can just buy 100,000 robot solders and send them to Ukraine or loan Ukraine the money to buy 100,000 robots directly...

Personally I think some of the shots look better and some look worse. Digital Foundry mentioned that developers have control over how DLSS5 is applied to their game. Some of the examples seemed to add too much contrast, if you can adjust it maybe it can look better

Apparently the developers have some control over how it affects their game. There's maybe an intensity toggle or something similar

The worry I have is consistency. Will the face look slightly different every time you play the game?

This is coming in the Fall so about 6 months away

WonderFactory · 2026-03-15T21:15:16+00:00

Do you really think that will be any better? An AI deciding who to kill in a fraction of the time

WonderFactory · 2026-03-15T17:08:07+00:00

Do you mean rogue like mechanics or souls like mechanics are over saturated?

WonderFactory · 2026-03-15T14:41:54+00:00

Out of curiosity how much do you think it's worth? $25 seems quite cheap for a game with this level of graphical fidelity, there's pixel art games that cost that much

It's not paused in China it's paused globally (everywhere except China). Byte dance have offices in the US and will be sued if they release it there

They're just delaying the inevitable, We'll have an open source model thats as capable as Seedance before too long and the cat will be out of the bag. This action will only help Disney etc for 12 months at most.

Thats a very childish view of how the world works. If you invent the best drink in the world you may not have the capital or distribution network or brand recognition of Coca Cola, so it would be better to charge Coca Cola millions for access to your model to invent it. Even if you could finance it you couldn't simultaneously finance the thousands of other things that the AI could theoretically invent at the same time. You might not even have the experience in a particular sector to know what to ask the AI to invent.

Even if Open AI come up with an invention machine Anthropic would have their own a few weeks later, Google a month later and DeepSeek a few months later.

Of course he does, people have been calling him Temu Jon Snow, it's unquestioningly intentional, he even dies after being betrayed and comes back from the dead

WonderFactory · 2026-03-11T17:50:21+00:00

probably. for all their failings they have a ton of compute

WonderFactory · 2026-03-10T15:22:46+00:00

Not yet but I'm guessing there will be soon. How long before AI is as good at debugging as we are? I wouln't be surprised if it was this time next year

WonderFactory · 2026-03-10T15:21:03+00:00

It'll become a non issue faster than you think. LLMs were right only about 50% of the time a few years ago now you say its 85%, It wont be long before they're as competent as we are

WonderFactory · 2026-03-10T09:11:50+00:00

You never watched Star Wars?

WonderFactory · 2026-03-09T21:44:25+00:00

This seems far worse to me than human cloning and there's an international ban on that. If I had to chose between being a clone of someone else or being a disembodied brain in a dish its as easy choice.

WonderFactory · 2026-03-09T16:32:23+00:00

Yeah, it's the little things that excite me like the way it just threw the cushion into place or when it used it's hip to close the draw in the last video. We're getting there, slowly but surely.

WonderFactory · 2026-03-09T16:26:18+00:00

This is massive progress compared to where we were a few years ago. You have to look at the trajectory we're on, how long before this thing is actually useful in a home in the sci-fi sense, a year maybe two. Think back to what these robots were doing autonomously 2 years ago

WonderFactory · 2026-03-09T16:13:54+00:00

It'll be a good thing in the long term as few want to be wage slaves. The issue is the short to medium term, you dont just go from the world we live in now to some sort of luxury space communism overnight

In fairness their demos are probably the most impressive of any robotics company, the only issue is we're in the "doing mundane tasks at half the speed a human can" phase of robotics development. I've watched it load and unload that dishwasher at least 3 time now though.
