'Sweet Dreams': Elon Musk Warns Dangers Of Backflipping Boston Dynamics Robot

The video of the Boston Dynamics robot called Atlas performing some impressive jumps and one stuck landing after a back flip that made the rounds online last week made its way to Elon Musk over the weekend. Musk, an outspoken advocate for regulation on robotics and artificial intelligence development, said the impressive moves the robot performs in the video are "nothing." He retweeted the video and said, "This is nothing. In a few years, that bot will move so fast you'll need a strobe light to see it. He clarified to one confused follower that a strobe light would be necessary because looking at the robot any other way would just look like a blur of movement. After warning his followers about how quickly the bot could end up a threat he tweeted again about the need for regulation. "Got to regulate AI/robotics like we do food, drugs, aircraft & cars.
