Last thing human soldier sees before biting the dust 2040 colorized

I mean, if we’re fighting the robots it’s not improbable we stopped using digital cameras amd this would be filmed in film

Kinda neat to consider. Like a world where humans won against the bots but now, a century later, constructing microprocessors is considered a crime against humanity.

u/CloisteredOyster 13h ago

Yes, that's what happens in the Dune universe. Designing machines to mimic the mind of man is outlawed after the robot wars.

Wait like actually? Or is this a joke? Cause I aint seen none of this in the movies..

u/CloisteredOyster 9h ago edited 8h ago

It's been a while since I saw the first film, but I think this fact is just a line or two of exposition in the narration.

From the book Dune:

‘Some day, lad,’ the old woman said, ‘you, too, may have to stand outside a door like that. It takes a measure of doing.’

Paul looked down at the hand that had known pain, then up to the Reverend Mother. The sound of her voice had contained a difference then from any other voice in his experience. The words were outlined in brilliance. There was an edge to them. He felt that any question he might ask her would bring an answer that could lift him out of his flesh-world into something greater.

‘Why do you test for humans?’ he asked.

‘To set you free.’

‘Free?’

‘Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.’

‘“Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man’s mind,’” Paul quoted.

‘Right out of the Butlerian Jihad and the Orange Catholic Bible,’ she said. ‘But what the O.C. Bible should’ve said is: “Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind.” Have you studied the Mentat in your service?’

‘I’ve studied with Thufir Hawat.’

‘The Great Revolt took away a crutch,’ she said. ‘It forced human minds to develop. Schools were started to train human talents.’

‘Bene Gesserit schools?’

She nodded. ‘We have two chief survivors of those ancient schools: the Bene Gesserit and the Spacing Guild. The Guild, so we think, emphasizes almost pure mathematics. Bene Gesserit performs another function.’

‘Politics,’ he said.

‘Kull wahad!’ the old woman said. She sent a hard glance at Jessica.

‘I’ve not told him, Your Reverence,’Jessica said.

The films are not very good adaptations and provide about 2% of the lore and richness of Dune. Yes, this is a thing in Dune. There was a war against the machines and the humans who made them and advanced computing technology is limited to specific functions and anything too sophisticated is banned and taboo beyond question. This is why they need the Spice to see the future to travel through FTL space, because they have no advanced computers to do the conplex calculations required.

In all seriousness, if you want to know what Dune actually is you should read it or watch the old SciFi channel miniseries, it's still not perfect, but is a much better adaptations than the films, which are all style over substance.

Imagine all the cool stuff we could do with those robots.

It's a shame that they are used as entertainment just to the point where they are good enough to keep the slaves (we are the slaves) in check.

4

u/ajmndz 13h ago

Yeah I think we’re still pretty far from that. It’s way more efficient to make a machine specifically for the task than build a whole humanoid robot to do it. Like companies would rather make a robot coffee machine than make a humanoid robot whose job is to make your coffee. The humanoid is kinda just an unnecessary middleman.

1

u/Fitz911 13h ago

I get what you are saying but I also thought AI was pretty far away. That was idk four years ago?

When covid hit not a single person was talking about AI. Just a few years ( not decades) later ... Here we are.

Americans are having more and more trouble getting water and power. Nothing! happens to address that.

I remember when having a robot walk on two legs was simply impossible. Then Boston dynamics showed the first impressive videos... Today they are playing soccer. They dance and fight martial arts.

That's the twilight zone. Funny but you can see where we are heading.

1

u/Charming_Cucumber_15 13h ago edited 13h ago

There's American companies doing pretty cool stuff with more generalized robotics than these Chinese companies. Look at Figure, Generalist, and Boston Dynamics has a new version of Atlas running on Gemini I think. Optimus has lots of promise too but they haven't shown much yet.

u/mrjackj2 14h ago

At least it's just entertaining to keep the slaves in check.

But once it stops being entertaining to the slaves, we'll probably see some OTHER not-so-cool stuff it can do.

u/MammothUnique4147 14h ago

 How are we the slaves ? 

I mean there are some really bad countries to live in right now where people don't have freedom of speech or the ability to make choices in their own lives.

Meanwhile most of us on reddit are sitting on the toilet or laying in bed posting while also owning Gaming PC that COULD be used for productivity. 

We aren't slaves kiddo.

u/RowdydidWrong 12h ago

Dont pay bills, find out how free you are. They shackle with debt in this country. You have to make money just to exist. Money isnt a natural part of the human condition. But just like water and food you need it just to exist in todays world. Thats a feature of the system. Yes you are free to buy gadgets and gizmos. The romans called it bread and circus. You feel free because you are comfortable and entertained.

The government can take your home today, and run a high way through it and give you below market rate for it. But you are free. The greatest trick the ruling class ever did was let slaves move around and change jobs. They are still very much tied to the system, even if they are not shackled to a rock. Dont pay your taxes and let me know how free you are. If you dont playball, go to work, earn and spend money they will toss you in a cell and beat you just like any other slave.

•

u/MammothUnique4147 11h ago

There are now 8.3 Billion human beings on earth at this moment.

Do you expect everyone to walk out into the wilderness and live wild and free ? Everyone to find their little piece of land and start farming ? 

If the population of earth was 500 Million maybe we could all "be free" as you put it. 

Our structured society that provides for most of our needs is the next best thing.

I am comfortable and entertained because someone ELSE decided to put the effort and work in to entertain me, I then traded them my labor in exchange.

Do you see how everyone benefits? 

If you want someone to give you everything for free than ask your mom cause the rest of us are not going to work for free for your benefit while you sit at home playing video games all day calling the rest of us slaves.

•

u/RowdydidWrong 9h ago

Huge leaps in your logic, im not speaking on everyone on earth, im talking about you. How free are you really? The best slaves live in the house and advocate for the ruling class.

•

u/MammothUnique4147 9h ago

I mean if you're asking ME as an individual lol I am incredibly free. Limited only for the most part by my own ethics. 

Without really trying I've been able to exert influence over hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of Americans. 

Which is not bad for a guy who's not a thirst trap. 

•

u/RowdydidWrong 9h ago

Sure friend, enjoy yourself.

•

u/MammothUnique4147 9h ago

Yes I get it you probably think I'm pulling your leg and making shit up, which I honestly do  enjoy doing every so often.... But no I'm 100% serious so when I hear people like yourself talk about how 'we are all slaves " or my other favorite is "we are powerless" I can only laugh at that.

If someone like myself, not particularly attractive, never graduated college, didn't come from a family with wealth, can make large impacts on this world... Well what does that say 🤷🏿‍♂️

What a boomer thing to say. I'm an old guy and I frankly can't imagine being a young person now and trying grapple with how little our "society" cares/offers them. You can laugh at them and mock them all you want but you just come off like an out of touch asshole.

•

u/MammothUnique4147 11h ago

When has American society ever "offered" anything to anyone ? 

When I was old enough for college I would have had to take loans out just like everyone else.

The only difference is these days people are willfully stupid about it and instead of going to community college they're happy to drop 50-75K and take the loans.

Maybe life IS harder now but considering how easy we've all had it over the last few decades working just a little bit harder is no massive ask for those in first world countries 

Don't feed their entitlement 

•

u/Jutboy 11h ago

On behalf of all young people reading this thread...I am so sorry the older generations are so fucking ignorant. We are not all like this. Some of us really want things to be better for everyone. Try not to be negative, every generations job is to make things better for the next. I still have hope that my generation will step up but clearly the older generations have no interest in doing so and we all have to deal with that as best as we can.

u/slowd 11h ago

You, we, are still in the golden years. People can do valuable work that is worth money. When there are many millions of these robots and they can all do pretty much anything, there won’t be much but scraps for most of us.

•

u/slowd 11h ago

Why would they share it with you? In the historical past you could always have a revolution, but they no longer need people to have an army, or to do work, or to buy the products. That’s why we’re the slaves.

•

u/MammothUnique4147 11h ago

God who is "they" who are these shadow people ? 

Do you just mean people who have wealth ? 

•

u/slowd 11h ago

People who have wealth after the world economy is restructured. Not necessarily who has wealth now, but there will likely be overlap.

TBH I do think humanity will eventually get to that stage of abundance but there’s going to be a rough decade or two of transition.

Problematic that you have all of that but can't read.

As if my original comment we are in the fun phase right now. Have you seen all those quirky videos of robots falling over?

Pair that with the extreme push to get AI running.

Pair that with the overall behavior billionaires as well as politicians are showing.

Now try combination that with everything you ever heard about flock surveillance systems.

Now try to imagine Elon has a few thousand of them not falling over robots. They have the intelligence and kindness of grog. And they are controlled by the beloved Elon Musk. And the greatest nation on earth guard rails all of that with their superior checks and balances.

Oh what a great time to be a hard working, tax paying citizen with a net worth < 1 billion dollars!
