Hmmm, I honestly think their only prototype costumes and will most likely be CGI ontop of the uniform, or atleast I hope.

There's not much point in re-doing a film called robocop and then not make him very robotic, they might aswell just just call it something else.

It seems odd, I'll still watch it though

The suit doesn't look bad at all.

But of course people will auto-hate this new one anyway.

No no, you're missing the point. This isn't a robot suit. This just looks like some fancy designed Kevlar. Robocop was a freaking robot more than anything physically ... this looks like a dude wearing military protective gear.

It's not about auto hate ... it's about the loss of the concept. And that is what is happening here. This looks like the sort of gear you'd expect the police to wear in 2028.... not the body of a robot cop.

Bull ****. The whole point is a cash grab and that's it. It's a fluke that some reboots come out decent (Star Trek)

Well of course there is money in it, but I think it's a bit simplistic to think everyone envolved with the film is only interested in the "cash grab". If that was the case they would have made the film years ago rather than developing it for so long.

Every film is a "cash grab", the studio has to make money.

Well, technology has moved on, so who's to say RoboCop needs to be a big and bulky as the original? Though being all black does take away from it overall. I think if it had some silver in it like some have said it'd be alright.

Being a massive Robocop 1 and 2 fan. These pictures make this film just blahhhh. I can see it being for kids!! Ruined it!

I want the old quotes "Can you fly bobby" :p

You say that, but the first one was hella popular with me & my peers when I was 7 or 8; there was action figures and everything.

I always found it odd how R rated films spawned kids toys. The my not have been openly aimed at kids, but they damn well knew they'd see them.

False.

Robo2 was more violent and pales in comparison to something like Total Recall.

Actually you need to watch the directors cut of the original Robocop 1. For a mainstream movie it is ultra-violent and one of the few movies that's made me cringe. The part where Murphy gets shot up is much more intense than the original version.

That said this reboot does not look good.

      AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
