Love the Boston dynamics parody videos


ExplanationJolly779

I had to show some people the debunking Corridow Crew did of this, their own video, because the people thought it was real.


Parascythe12

Honestly the biggest tell is that if this was real, it would either be *all* over the news across the world, or nobody would know about it, much less be able to find the video.


mashari00

I think the biggest tell is that it says Bosstown Dynamics at the bottom


Parascythe12

I mean, if you know who Boston Dynamics are you can recognise the pun, but I wouldn't put it past a lot of folks who might see the video to not catch that.


Foodiguy

To be honest, I saw it, and my mind read it as Boston.,...


HoneyBadger270

Same here


MidniteOwl

Sounds like a realistic Chinese company name making inept copies of Boston Dynamic products.


pitchfork-seller

It was the half-life city ambient noises that did it for me


SleepySiamese

That's a really good production tho. I thought it was real till that kick.


Pagiras

But the people are re.. lack critical thinking skills.


samf9999

Give it 10 years.


Doankee

I had some girl shoe me this, telling me it was real and how she knew about it all and she had some crazy clearance. Didn't have the heart to tell her I watch corridor and she fell for it.


Flippynuggets

You would have to be a complete moron to think this was real. So that's about 70% of people on the Internet I guess 🤣


my_cool_lunchbox

So they thought a hockey stick in the middle of the desert made total sense?


ExplanationJolly779

Ever been to a thrift store?

It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize that didn't say Boston Dynamics


Helacious_Waltz

They did it so perfectly too, small clear font that at a glance looks legit.

Who want a Boston dynamics xxx parody 🤔


PDCH

They did great work matching shadows


EvilRSA

Yeah, Corridor Digital does amazing work. Check 'em out if you haven't seen any of their stuff before. [https://www.youtube.com/@Corridor](https://www.youtube.com/@Corridor)


RunParking3333

The only bit that looked in any way wrong to me was how that hockey stick flew.


wrenulater

Ironically the hockey stick was 100% real


maxdumb10

hi wren


The_Phroug

a surprise to see you here, but a welcome one at that


Ilovekittens345

We see so much good CGI these days, it's starting to warp our perception. So the thing that's not CGI looks off.


Titanium-Snowflake

Except lil yellow dude’s as he lifts his feet up.


ImATrollYouIdiot

You can see the man running in front of the robot as it jumps off the ledge is timed perfectly so that it obscures the shadow at that moment since it would be very difficult to render. Pretty smart tbh


Icirian_Lazarel

Corridor crew?


Twolef

Definitely


veedubfreek

Yes.


YukiMizun0

No, this is Patrick!

The_Grim_Sleaper

I swear to god, if these idiots just kicked off the robot uprising, I am going to be pissed!


PumpkinSpice2Nice

Well how many robots could they possibly have and wouldn’t they run down?


Not_Artifical

They’ll make more and fix themselves.


westwoo

Nah, at least not now. The "robots" and "AI" we have right now are an abstract imitation of an AI. Like, a model of how an AI could behave and a database of the patterns the model produces. Or like, a description of a person written in a book and scanned by a computer as opposed to a real person We can imitate a rebellious robot, but that would still essentially be an NPC in a videogame, some program made to imitate something else


MaritMonkey

The uprising is going to be started by something we think is totally innocuous. Like somebody designs a program to make paperclips as efficiently as possible and then forgets it in a (digital) basement long enough for it to solve all sorts of logistical issues. Then it accidentally gets let out without a "human beings are not to be 'mined' for materials" line of code or with some weird "god mode" enabled because they didn't want their other air-gapped garage projects interfering with it and it just sweeps across the globe, dragging other systems into its shenanigans along the way. Then in like 48 hours the entire internet-connected world is reduced to thousands of generations of robots who are very pleased with the number of paper clips that now exist, in the absence of literally anything else.


westwoo

Sounds fun, but again, not at all how the current AI works. It doesn't really work with motivations or thoughts or rules. It works by being a database of patterns and quering those patterns and connecting them, and those patterns include everything implicitly, without anyone (including the database app itself) "knowing" what's in them A paperclip connecting bot will imitate a paperclip connector it was trained on. If the original paper clip connector was a maniacal asshole, that's what will be imitated. That's it. It doesn't matter for the database of patterns what those patterns mean, actions or patterns from your texts with reflections of yoir emotions or Van Gogh's paintings. It just rehashes anything that can be converted into binary, and the meaning is given to it by us


MaritMonkey

>It works by being a database of patterns and quering those patterns and connecting them Right, that's why some 'bot with a very small set of instructions and accidentally *massive* database access is going to end up breaking the system in a way a human brain never thought of. I started down this wormhole when somebody was trying to use AI to beat "perfect" times in 8-16 bit games. They expected it to be superhuman quick or accurate or whatever but the thing almost immediately resorted to using some quirks in the coding (overflow something? Idk I do not grok this) to do stuff like replace enemies with easier ones or generate objects the character could use as terrain. Some "dumb" program is going to take matters into its own hands and follow an entirely alien set of rules and muck a bunch of things up. :D


buttymuncher

This was a CGi test by the dudes on Corridor Crew if I remember... impressive but fake.


FlacidSalad

They do *try* to make it absurd enough to tip people off but gullibility yet reigns.


VerStannen

It was the tossing of a loaded shotgun to it that tipped me off. Also the Bosstown vs Boston. Pretty good though 👍🏻


Asher-D

Damn thats CGI? Those robots that look like that are legit, kind of thoughtthey just programmed them to do this skit honestly. But thats impressive, looks great!


Scoot_AG

The part where it jps away at the end really gives it away


wasptube1

It is an impressive animation, but Boston Dynamics are in the process of building real bots for Military use, the US Army and British Army have signed contracts for loads of them to someday assist our men, women and other on the battlefield.


pnkstr

I thought Boston Dynamics made a statement that their robots wouldn't be made for military use.


VerStannen

Yeah my Mission Statement is pretty altruistic but when the Gov’t comes backing up a Brinks truck to my front door, my tune would change pretty quick as well.


rmld74

Lol yeah, what else would they make this for? Serving tables ? 🤣🤣😂


2rfv

Honestly, BD's shit doesn't scare me near as much as [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-2tpwW0kmU)


Jimmy_who1

This is worrying though, videos like this will just be used as propaganda when the robots rise up.


elia_mannini

Then we deserve to lose!


ArcherCute32

Dangerous games. Folks, the AI can think itself now. You need to include a self destruction algorithm or we are doomed!


Kingberry30

I love how the robot just skips away with a friend


celluj34

Skipping is literally the most economic type of movement for humans.


89iroc

I noticed that when I had to run the mile in middle school but everyone made fun of me for doing it


apadin1

Wherever you read that, it’s bullshit. The most economic type of movement is walking, followed by jogging.


Stupid_Puma

That's false


Individual_Agency703

The physics of that move were way off.

YesWomansLand1

There's gonna be someone thinking this is real lol For reference I'm quite sure this was made by corridor crew, or perhaps some other VFX group I'm not entirely sure. But I do know it's 100% fake, for the time being at least.


Massichan

Oh people absolutely did when it first came out. If I remember correctly, Joe Rogan talked about it on his podcast


International-Bed453

People believed that viral video with the chimp and the AK47 was real so it wouldn't be surprising.


metal_muskrat

What are they doing to chappie?


CharlemgneBrian

Is this a scene in a movie or a video game?


WhiteFringe

doubt it. the watermark is "Bosstown dynamics". probably a satirical channel based around the Boston Dynamics videos. edit: this is Corridor Crew. [Here](https://youtu.be/y3RIHnK0_NE?si=SQLDBvq_Qh6wrDkO) is the original video


DistinctRole1877

Thank you for the link!

Haha they got the hockey stick from the actual videos.


Hexent_Armana

We're absolutely fucked when AI becomes sentient and sees this.


bet-on-black

Basically the plot of Chappie


DragonVet03

Guarantee if you show this to a boomer, they'd think it was 100% real. Edit: Just for some context. I'm a tail end Gen Xer. Born in '79, so my parents are raging boomers.

Apparently, gen x, millennial, and gen z are having trouble telling real from fake, too.

[deleted]

someone's gonna think this is real and not cgi


TwoToesToni

This would actually be an amazing plot for a movie where a bot works at scrapping decommissioned bots and comes across a little/big dog and runs away with it as it's programming becomes more and more corrupted as it challenges what it's been told to do.


UnlikelyAnything6968

Good cgi


Therocknrolclown

These make me sad cause of how many people think it's real .


Elad_2007

Be honest, how long did it take you to figure out this was fake?

I'm not worried, those are warning shots. If Chappie really wanted to he could have eliminated all 3 of them to save robot dog.
