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

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
