ut them knowing it? Yes, you could reproduce it. It's very easy to reproduce. But if you teach a robot how to manipulate humans by matching their movements and then the next stage would be matching their language style, so that's also a persuasion trick. So if somebody likes to talk in military ways, do you know anybody who likes to use a lot of military terms like we're going to take that hill a…

If a robot can learn to talk like us, in other words adopt the same mannerisms that we have individually, and also move like us, literally copying the way we move, it will almost have full control over your brain.
Now I know you don't believe that, but it's coming and there's nothing that can stop it because of course the robots will learn this and be able to do it. Of course they will. And what would stop it? Yeah, you would almost have to legislate against it. But since the field is still young, you don't want to put a bunch of regulations there that would stop everything. So I think it's inevitable. Robots are going to be very persuasive.
According to New Atlas, Ron has this new technology where instead of the military having fuel lines, they would hook up some kind of big microwave power device and they could shoot power to the soldiers and the units from a distance without any physical interaction. So in other words you've got this device somewhere at the back of your battlefield and all of your e-bikes and your robot dogs and your people who've got any kind of GPS or any kind of electronics, they go into the battle but of course they'll run out of energy at some point.

You know the vehicles need to be recharged, the devices need to be recharged, and this thing can do it just by turning on and sending the signal out in all directions. So it can actually recharge the military devices while they're being used from a distance. Holy cow, that's pretty cool. Do you think that's actually going to work? I think it's in the early stages of development but they must have…
