Where the fuck did this guy come from

Honestly, good question. Does having to be an X nerd mean you should agree with the morals of X and if you become a millionaire, does that invalidate nerddom?

Then they lose the dog hack. It's both a police officer and a genetically modified wolf. If the police officer is biting you, then you need to stop resisting. What kind of monster would hurt a dog just doing its job.

If you’re the one supporting ripping up the forest of Ents to make room for a datacenter…yes, you lose your nerd card. You are now Saruman, corrupted to the will of evil to further one’s own power.

Gifting the military industrial complex is a bold move if nothing else i guess

They'll require an army of trainers and vets for their numerous behavioral and genetic problems.

Looked into it and it doesn't really seem like mysterious circumstances. From the article I read, he was struck by a car that was already fleeing police while he was crossing a crosswalk.

GTA III called, they want their main protagonists shirt back.

Palmer Luckey woke up and said:

That's it, I'm inventing bad dogs!

The likelyhood of him reading comments like this is incredibly low whereas other random people may come across it and not have any idea about how terrible he has shown himself to be. So I think talking about him like this is a net positive.

Edit: I don't think him getting flack caused him to change to be the person he is today, if anything getting massive amounts of money freed him to be more open about who he truly is inside. Maybe catching flack online also helped him in taking off the mask so to say.

You can since his sexual assault conviction record through the camera.

No. A nerd is a nerd, but they can be socialized in optimal and suboptimal ways.

They will die of silicone poisoning.

And the precedent's already set by big ag companies patenting genetically modified crops.

We already "genetically engineers war dogs". And police work. And individual self protection.

It's way cheaper to make an animal go blow itself up rather than build an entire robot to go get blown up.

"resisting" while actively being harmed/injured is and always will be a sadistic joke.

"stop resisting!" while I break you shoulder. Nice.

He looks like a dumb fuck, how do investors see him and say yes give him 200 million? How do I get investors in my businesss? I can bullshit too.

Not if you just buy the cheapest parts and then harden the software and send a fuck load of them out there at once. Just as expendable as real dogs

The yelling, "drop the weapon!!!!" after unloading a clip makes my blood boil. Like are they for fuckin' real.

No information other than his name on Wikipedia, that's crazy

Seems kind of the same here no?

It was an American propagandist claiming the Germans called them that, there is no record and no primary source account of any such term being used by the Germans to describe American Marines.

So much animal abuse

These fucking techbros are louder and trying to normalize unethical behavior under this regime being asked to remove regulation from all of their activities.

That is what a corporate dystopia really is. Laws for all but not for them.

just don't get caught lying or u go to prison

If they can make 10,000,000 attack dogs to get blow up by those drones, and somehow avoid having any variable costs, then the dogs will be cheaper than the drones.

I think that's within a practical scale.

But we already have robodogs. Boston Dynamics has been soft-launching them for years, innoculating the masses into adoring them & accepting them before unveiling their full wrathful capabilities. Why breed & abuse living creatures when we already have terrifying robots to do bloodshed for us?

Baffling is the new normal. I didn't believe that the world would spiral into a cyberpunk dystopia.

Life used to be so optimistic. I know there were issues in the aughties and nineties, but God damn, we were so hopeful of the future.

Chocolate feed stations isn't a bad idea. At the amount of investment they are getting and the scale that would justify it, they don't intend all of these dogs to have 1:1 handlers.

I’m just imagining that this is going to be more like the book/movie The Plague Dogs.

Are these living creatures going to be considered "product" like RoboCop was a product of OCP?

I assume he's going to show up with a Bully XL so inbred that it's got a 6 month live expectancy. And this dog is going to be sold to the military for $40M/ea.

So he can get 200 million for dogs of war but I can't get it for knots of peace?

Insanity....

Because billionaires are bored sycophants with zero empathy.

Centuries of dog breeders be like 'WTF?'

Dude...sigh... What. Come on.

I can't think of a reasonable scenario where, even given the drones are in short supply, dogs would be a necessary target over higher priority like the dog handlers. Maybe if you strap a bunch of bombs onto the dogs, but that would be really fucked

I'm OOTL then I've only heard good things about him.

I'm lucky to be young enough to not have experienced such hope, mostly cause it was an empty illusion from my point of view. Makes doing whats needed a lot easier since you aren't blinded by falsehood, hope is an opium better to have optimism tempered by realism.

cant they leave the dogs alone, dont they just want to be loved and get tummy rubs?

We3 but it's extra stupid and incel

Embarrassed to remember liking this guy as early VR adopter. Imagine trading priviledge of pioneering VR to building war machines. What a piece of shit.

How do I get money? I got a idea lasers on freaking sharks!!!! I'll take my 200 million in cash please

I hate Palmer Lucky as much as I hate Stephen Miller.

Yes. Can confirm. Mine also likes snacks.

Some dank crevasse under the seat of a taxi cab.

if it makes you feel any better, i bet gabe newell and john carmack are feeling much worse 😹

for God sake, facebook advised him to do damage control by donating to someone on the opposite side of the political aisle, and he sued them for it! (according to Wikipedia he got at least 100 million out of that).

investors have a mandate they have to follow. if it says "invest N% into AI" they will throw money at anyone who has "ai" in their mission statement. same for "Defense".
