THIS ROBOT COULD PUT MANUAL LABOURERS OUT OF WORK

  Boston Dynamics robotics have created Atlas, the incredible robot that could prove to be the end of manual labour. This video shows Atlas picking up and moving heavy boxes but you better treat him well because if you're a dick to him, he won't stand for it. The creators use a hockey stick to mess with Atlas buy pushing his box away from him and even go as far as to push him over until he falls to the ground. But Atlas isn't designed to tolerate shit like that and he gets up and calmly leaves through the nearest exit.
  
  It's frightening to think that many human jobs will be completely obsolete within our lifetime due to robots like Atlas. But whats even more terrifying though is the fact that I felt sorry for a machine and was willing him to turn against the evil human that pushed him. That is pretty worrying!

  Keep that compassion for them, these words might save your life when they become sentient.

  I have two problems with this, one: They are basically creating something that will put even more people out of a job. And Two: they made a fairly intelligent robot and then proceeded too piss it off a lot. Which sounds like the beginning of a sentence that ends with "and the robots evolved and proceeded to take over the world led by Atlas". 
  Just incase i would like to publicly state that i am a friend of the robots.... That should cover it.
