Google obviously has the need to be adored; if somebody with a reason contradicts what they say (what can you know - you are just a founder of Boston Dynamics, not a mighty Googler!), they get rid of them. Seriously Google, you were once great, now your search is unusable and I can't see anything worth coming from you :-/ If PR dictates your focus, what is Ray Kurzweil going to do there - developing a new VA synth instead of singularity? Do we need to travel to Osaka to see real humanoids from Hiroshi Ishiguro and get the feel of the future? Does Japan have to be again 20+ years ahead of the US? Are we going to stop humanity progress because some retarded internal politicians want to keep their power or some shortsighted capitalists want to keep milking their cows? We have the possibility to improve human condition tremendously with the robotic technology at hand and we are going to be stupid about it and fall back to "business as usual" idiocy? Is this Larry why Tesla inspired you so much when you were still young and idealistic? Even Intel seems to be 5 years ahead of you when it comes to releasing consumer humanoid robotics...
