Solid Snake has been teaching players this for years.
A Boston Dynamics just published a few days ago a video in which they presented the latest capabilities of their robots. A significant part of the community immediately began to think. If the publicly known models have such capabilities, what can the military versions do?
Bureaucracy and force design. “Army engineers wanted light tanks so that they would not have to redesign their bridges, which had a fifteen-ton weight limit.” By May 1940 the United States had only 28 new tanks (along with 900 obsolete ones). pic.twitter.com/Uegm2GQVrk

We have nothing to fear from the United States when it comes to this topic. The Pentagon’s DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has been conducting research in this direction for many years. In addition to robots, millions of dollars are also being invested in artificial intelligence-related developments. One of their robots was consciously programmed to recognize and identify people. It seems that the machinery was not prepared for all eventualities. The book excerpt shared by Shashank Joshi revealed that
they outsmarted the robot with a video game trick!
Eight marines managed to outwit the AI, not just by any means. The two somersaulted towards the robot, which could not identify them due to the unusual form of movement. There was a little one who was carrying a pine tree in front of him, and the robot’s artificial intelligence caught that too. However, the funniest was the couple who tried to cheat the system by hiding in a cardboard box. Their plan worked perfectly.
You know the method, right? It’s not by chance, since we’ve already encountered something similar in the Metal Gear Solid games. Solid Snake and his comrades could hide in various boxes to avoid being spotted by enemy soldiers. It seems to have been proven again: crazy ideas from video games can even be used against military equipment.
Amazingly beautiful new screenshots from STALKER 2 have arrived
