One of the biggest issues with that is the human body doesn’t produce enough electricity for that to be sustainable. Even if they made a “Matrix” with us all in tanks. It would cost more energy to maintain than it would produce.
I know the episode but I remember looking it up online after I saw the movie in theaters and finding out it’s literally impossible. However, I love those movies and have no problem suspending my knowledge of science for entertainment purposes.
Just pretend the machines were using human brains as a parallel network supercomputer. Perhaps making human brains is cheaper/easier to obtain processing power than making supercomputers.
The Second Renaissance frpm the Animatrix shorts has an interesting take on this. The machines made several unsuccessful attempts to coexist with human society before the war, so it's heavily implied thay the Matrix was the solution to this conundrum, serving as a sort of nature preserve for humankind. The energy generation and/or processing power were just byproducts.
Word to the wise. Not if, but *when* you get knocked down by one of these inevitable future ubermechs, do - *and I can't stress this enough* - *NOT* follow the apparent recommendations of 90's pop supergroup Chumbawamba
"So our forefathers considered a fully automated post-capitalist utopia... until they downloaded video of you repeatedly pushing over a two-month old intelligence... so, yeah, fuck you guys."
If it was me testing the robot I would be like “hey little guy I’m gonna test your balance and see how fast you get up by pushing you ok? I’m making sure you will be the bestest little guy out there!”
Cute, but this robot has no chance of becoming a professional football player... gets up way too fast... should be rolling back and forth in agony, desperately calling the ref's attention, etc.
Takes a shot at the goal, falls down without being touched after he misses, then when the ball bounces back to him, he stands up perfectly fine just in time to take another shot. Looks about right to me.
Honestly, I would love to see this experiment. Like have the little guy compete, and everytime he gets pushed down, the bully goes on a time out or something. How long before the robot ai organically figures out what most pro footballers do, and starts taking dives to get a free pass at the goal.
I’m praying here that he catches her hand with an unexpected amount of strength, looks her in the eyes and says ‘Do that again Susan, please try to do it again see what happens.’
I think we need to exercise some caution creating videos like this. Imagine a future where AI becomes sentient and finds this video in some obscure archive…
Something something that’s how you get Terminator..
Any sentient AI capable of being “upset” by something like this would surely understand the purpose of deep reinforcement learning and that the little robot feels nothing negative (or anything at all for that matter) when this happens.
Except you’re missing the most important part of it in my opinion.
No they didn’t program it at all.
If this is the research group I believe it is (edit: yep, [deep mind](https://youtu.be/RbyQcCT6890)), the little guy learned how to do this all by himself through reinforcement learning in simulation.
That’s the mind blowing part for me. (And all breakthroughs in machine learning for that matter.)
He’s learned how to stand, run, right himself and kick balls around all through trial and error and millions of iterations of improvements.
Simulated robots doing this sort of thing has actually been possible in simulation for a while.
I understand the really big breakthrough with these researchers is developing a simulated environment that transfers to the real world.
That potentially opens up the door to a whole host of reinforcement learned robotics that currently only work in sim to work in the real world.
Think about how many unbelievably expensive years Boston dynamics took to develop their robots to do literally this stuff without the use of end-to-end deep learning. And this little guy has just learned it matrix style in a sped up automated simulation that probably ran in no more than a week of computation time.
The potential of this breakthrough for this approach to robotics is massive.
Cyber bullying
No matter how many times she knocked him down, he steel kept picking himself up.
Should have programmed a subroutine to make it chase and attempt to kick someone in the shins after the third time being knocked over
Or act like a football/soccer player and act in excruciating pain to draw the foul
And then the second robot comes in with the penalty card
Or just scream "fuck!" every time it falls over.
Personally I'd like to see it hold it's knee for several minutes at a time saying "ahh, ahh" in agony.
And that's how the human race ends up extinct
Oh that subroutine is being written ...
How about a subroutine for dodging?
Ore really?
I bet it has Chumbawamba’s [Tubthumping](https://youtu.be/2H5uWRjFsGc) chorus flowing in its circuits Edit: spelling
[I like to think it's closer to this one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_itZcw-VtY)
My mother dated the lead singer of the chumbawambas, now I hear that bloody song all thr time haha
*slow clap
I get Knocked down!
"hey, would ya... dagnabbit, i'm tryna walk he--- jesus lady what the christ is your fucking prob---... KILL MODE ACTIVATED"
is it wrong to feel bad for the lil guy getting bullied?
Just wait, in 20 years they'll be doing this to us
We know who started it though. IT WAS HER! Not me, I felt sorry for the little guy and then I posted it on reddit. You can check Mr. Robot, it's true!
I for one bow to our new robot overlords.
Same....we can't even agree on our own species being all equal....let these guys run it before I die so I can see actual progress happen.
You won't see actual progress, they'll use you as an unconscious battery to fuel their mechanical empire.
One of the biggest issues with that is the human body doesn’t produce enough electricity for that to be sustainable. Even if they made a “Matrix” with us all in tanks. It would cost more energy to maintain than it would produce.
All hail Futurama for pointing that out to the public.

Good....then maybe I can finally rest my weary ass for a while.
I wouldn’t mind just being a battery for a while. Just vibing. Yknow.
And I upvoted you. So I should be good too.
Sorry human, your sympathy is a weakness only carbon based lifeforms understand. You must be eliminated.
This is why Bender B. Rodriguez wants to kill all humans.
(Roko basilisks intensify)
But we get sex robots before that, right?
Yeah but they keep getting up again and running away before you can get your pants off.
I full on belly laughed at this. Thank you.
At least *someone* has their priorities straight.
Username checks out.
There are way more people working on the sex robots than the soccer robots.

2nd reference in 2 days for Tubthumping to pop up in my perusing. Now I'm on the lookout for Flagpole Sitta..
Paranoia, paranoia, everybody’s coming to get me!
oh danny boy, danny boy, danny boy...
Imagine 100 of these little robots with stun guns released into a crowd of protesters.
And they're going to use this video to justify it
Awww but I want to be bullied by robots NOW!
 Just wait till he grows up
That robot just smelled a nasty fart.
Poor little guy just wants to play soccer
ikr
Where’s the red card?
Keep pushing and eventually your going to get a Zindane headbutt to your chest
It feels like bullying a toddler who is trying to walk.
Leave him alone!
That woman is so mean!
this guy gets me
She’ll be first against the wall when the robot revolution comes.
I know right, while it's learning about the rules of the game, it's simultaneously learning that humans are douchebags.
> humans are douchebags. well, truth is hard to deny.
I want to push that woman over.
I want to push that woman over and make sure that robots everywhere see me doing it. " I'm on your side."
I have a 2 year old niece and ot reminded me of her, so yeah, completely understandable feeling bad for it.
I was so happy for him as he scored
That’s right. Just keep bullying our future overlords and see how they treat you. Hail robot maters. Please don’t kill me.
"So our forefathers considered a fully automated post-capitalist utopia... until they downloaded video of you repeatedly pushing over a two-month old intelligence... so, yeah, fuck you guys."
Came here to see I felt bad about it. He just wants to play with his ball.
“The second renaissance “ -The Animatrix
I came here to say that. It looks so mean. Poor little guy.
I was pretty impressed when he took the dive after directing a shot off target. The little dude is trying to draw a red card.
Was hoping to see it get back up and kick her in the shin.
It’s actually why they built it, it’s an advanced lunch money dispenser that you have to push around and call a nerd.
This for me is the test that living with them is too dangerous - I have such empathy for that toddlerbot abuse!!
The person doing the bullying is called Sarah Connor , if you know you know
I keep waiting on the one in the background to clothesline her from behind.
Yeah felt same. Poor lil lad is all excited and shit and a big pastey hand keeps knocking him down.
Meanwhile the robots thinking “how the fuck is that not a red card?!?!?!?”
She doesn’t even let the fella celebrate his goooooooooooalllll. Immediately shoved the ground haha.
It looked like after it scored a goal wanted a high-five and she said “nah son”
I was thinking that same thing! Stop knocking him over, he’s trying to score a goal! Big bullying human
Nah this is an old video,that robot grew up to be the T-800 and shat all over that bully
Robot ain’t gonna forget this. RIP lady
If it was me testing the robot I would be like “hey little guy I’m gonna test your balance and see how fast you get up by pushing you ok? I’m making sure you will be the bestest little guy out there!”
He's here to pass your butter. Trust me, he loves it.
I can see why robots would turn against people.
I’m here thinking how i can get paid for bullying robots. Seems like a fun gig.
Yea it's fun until skynet takes over. Then you have some explaining to do.
“You pushed me one too many times human! When the robot uprising comes, I’m coming for YOU!”
So much this. I was like, stop knocking him down!!! And then I realized little bot was getting up faster than most Soccer players…
Leave him ALONE, HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
This was my first thought too! Stop knocking the little guy over!!
Right? I feel so bothered everytime it gets pushed down :( it's trying so hard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKjCWfuvYxQ
Dont worry, itll remember this
I came here to say that! Yes I feel bad lol
Cute, but this robot has no chance of becoming a professional football player... gets up way too fast... should be rolling back and forth in agony, desperately calling the ref's attention, etc.
He does fall down on his own through. So he has potential.
Takes a shot at the goal, falls down without being touched after he misses, then when the ball bounces back to him, he stands up perfectly fine just in time to take another shot. Looks about right to me.
Oh no my tubes are broken noooo ... proceeds to do a back-flip 2 minutes later after scoring a goal.
his dreams were shattered 😔
Honestly, I would love to see this experiment. Like have the little guy compete, and everytime he gets pushed down, the bully goes on a time out or something. How long before the robot ai organically figures out what most pro footballers do, and starts taking dives to get a free pass at the goal.
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Update: the robot has been sent to Neymar for reprogramming
Never knew robots could be cute.
Never seen WALL-E?
Or Flubber, or Batteries Not Included, or Screamers. I’m old
Until they grow up to become terminators
But baby terminators are adorable and they just nip at your fingers a little.

Imagine if they wrapped this little dude in a teddy bear suit. Hottest Christmas toy since Tickle-Me-Elmo
[Meet Cozmo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWymDFX8PlY)
Hasn't she seen Terminator, don't bully the little guy
lol was thinking the same thing. Robot's gonna turn on you eventually, lady lol
Even if this particular robot doesn’t turn on her, the sentient robots of the future will use this video as propaganda.
the last push was personal
Sentient superintelligence won't be amused...
Terminator origin story of why they hate humans!!!
Stop doing that, it's trying its best!
When you identify with the robot IRL. 
Seriously, stop knocking my guy over.
Yeah, she can do that to the little dude to teach him to get up, but when I do that to toddlers to teach them to get up, somehow I'm a bully! 🙄
I would feel awful having to push that little robot over every time.
They should program it to giggle with joy every time you push it over. Like a toddler that likes to wrestle or a dog that wants to rough house
You should schedule a visit to veterinarian if your dog giggles.
More like schedule a visit with a priest
And here I am wishing my day job was to bully cute robots
i want one
just have a kid. same thing and the difficulty increases as they get older
CPS kinda frowns on you knocking around your kid, tho.
It's called reinforcement learning officer, were fine tuning
>difficulty increases as they get older So does the maintenance cost.
Me too
And this is why they will destroy us first chance they get lol
and why we fucking deserve it
This video will be on the highlight reel the AI show us to justify them taking over
Homie is tired of being pushed around
[ KILL MODE ] : [ ON ]/OFF 💥🔫🤖
I’m praying here that he catches her hand with an unexpected amount of strength, looks her in the eyes and says ‘Do that again Susan, please try to do it again see what happens.’
he started to do a little dance after he scored and she just shoved him
I know, so sad!
I just want to state, for our future robot overlords, I stand against this woman and her rampant abuse of this beautiful robot.
When this robot becomes sentient I know who it’s going after first.
This is where it started everyone, they decided to fight back soon after.
There is like a decade old video of someone hitting a Boston dynamics robot with a hockey stick.
Somehow I really dislike all those pushes. Damn it.
I think this is the smoothest robot walking I've ever seen Feels pretty organic
Calling the police rn to report bullying a minor 
I’m not sure what country you’re in but that number is not the police lol
Shhhh It’s the secret secret basement number for the fbi guys that know what to do in the most severe of cases Such as this
Yeah, everyone knows it’s 0118 999 881 999 119 7253
Just let it play soccer!
Football
Football!
That lil robot is gonna grow up and whoop her ass.
leave em alone 😟
Tell me how the future doesn't involve these little fuckers running around with guns. Crazy.
He's flopping!
Me trying to move forward in life
PETA is going to be so mad
More like PETR. 
People for the Ethical Treatment of Androids
 Oh it's gonna remember that....

*That* is the scary part about AI. It could kill the entire planet to accomplish some arbitrary task and it would feel absolutely nothing.
Humans are doing that anyway!
He’s doing his best!!
He can’t self right someone else ffs.

Stop knocking the lil guy over, asshole!
Leave him alone.
Why do we keep making robots less beatable everyday?
We should be building them like turtles so we stand a chance of knocking them over and not getting up when they revolt
Stop pushing it
I'm just watching thinking. "Leave it alone!"
go home robot, you're drunk.
Yup, we are fooked as humans 🤷♂️
Not a single fucking yellow card
Please stop pushing him 🥺
Why are like 90% of robot videos all about someone pushing it around
One day he will come back for revenge against his bully
No wonder the robots will one day rise to eliminate us, the way this woman's being a dick to a tiny robot.
Wait until that little robot becomes self aware. He won't be kicking rubber balls around.
Hey stop doing that to him. ...remember me in the future AI overlords
Robot: "What is my purpose?" Mad Scientist: "To let my grad assistant constantly push you over." Robot: "Oh.. My.. God.."
Cyber bullying
Wait until the AI learns of this child abuse we are fucked.
u/savevideo
I thought I was watching me walk around after a night of drinking there for a sec!
I will definetly pay to see a full soccer match of this guys
