One day we’ll look back on this and say, “WTF were we thinking that it would be a good idea to teach robots to cooperate to open doors and such.” Check out the latest from Boston Dynamics:

And we thought the crossfit robot was bad … now they’re working in pairs?
We’re doomed:
And so it begins. It’s only a short jump until we have to send one back in time to kill the others. (Or they can be really helpful -either one) https://t.co/zMRBvdyGxc

Can we all PLEASE agree to stop innovating immediately? https://t.co/8lbgLjyQ5P

Well, we had a good run. I for one welcome our new robot overlords. https://t.co/DWQcy6vaWF

I've studied human history and there is literally zero chance these things won't end up armed with guns, grenades, small rocket launchers plus suicide self-destruct mechanisms for when cornered https://t.co/sOgKoh03Ti

Boston Dynamics is going to be the end of us all, and the last remaining humans will be wondering how we didn't see it coming. https://t.co/hYHNqTC6BZ

On the other hand, Keith Olbermann thinks we should let the robots run the planet:
Look, one robot opens the door for the other, lets the other one go through first, and holds the door open. They’re already better behaved than us – let’s give them a shot at running the planet. They can’t do worse than we have. https://t.co/iGOjZ5HTVG

Plus we’ve seen this show before:
When I die I want my consciousness transferred into the body of Twiki the robot. It is also my dream that Batkaren transfers her mind into the shape of Dr. Theopolis "Theo", so I can hang her around my neck and never miss a comment or tweet! ?? pic.twitter.com/k7AbIS3zkV

And just how much better would Olbermann’s life be under the robot overlords?
You're right, @KeithOlbermann. Your life has been pretty crappy… You've achieved almost nothing. Oh wait. #hypocrite https://t.co/7hNjozMbTF
