Robotic excavator builds a giant stone wall with no human assistance
Building a wall by precisely stacking randomly shaped boulders could almost be the definition of hard work – both physically and mentally. It's the sort of thing we might want robots to do one day, so it should come as no surprise that one has in fact just done it.

"Now that the autonomous robot has successfully redivided Berlin, the German government is willing to hear its demands."

Now this is a useful application of machine learning: not killer bots.
45Until it learns such walls can also be made of human skulls. Dum dum duuuuum
23But how will we steal resources from brown-people countries and channel public money to corporations ?
4Anti migration wall, so the poor people stay poor in their own countries and can be exploited as God intended.

My first thought actually was how will this incredible technology respond when it's supposed to start construction and there are environmental protestors at a site or whatever? Just one less human between big power and regular people.

History Channel: is this how aliens build the pyermids.
38Wonderful. This is actually some technology that some desert countries in the middle east could use. Those loosely-stacked walls are perfect to take water out of the air in the chill of the morning. Walls of this kind have been used for ages in that region for this purpose. Having an autonomous building system would allow to spread this use.
17I don't understand what that means. How does a wall take water out of the air and why is that wanted?
3Condensation. Stone wall is cold in the morning, humid morning air passes through it, water condenses on the large, cold surface, and drips down.

Problem is that does not generate water. It just takes the water away which is then missing somewhere else and fucks up the other areas which would otherwise be in healthy equilibrium.

With no humans WANTING a wall either! The local council was pissed!

How come half that wall looks photo-shopped?

KillDozer V2 is gonna be so badass
3Its going to make an amazing corporate stonewaller, some day,
probablydefinitely3perfect, now it can learn to stone sinners in like the Romans did
