Can you believe even for a moment ppl actually believe the "I'm not gonna put weapons on my robot, I pwomise"

And that video confirmed the shot we've been saying for 30 years, weapons robots are coming, congrats there here now

Anyone who thinks US robotic companies aren’t knee deep in developing weapons capable machines is delusional. There’s a reason the Pentagon has never been audited plus everyone knows the intel state loves dark money.

Just need to add a War Crimes clause about that. Countries might still use it discretely, but there won't be a blooming market for it. Question is: will the biggest investor on military equipment let that happen?

Not likely happening especially as people are already using drones with weapons. Only difference between that and a dog is the dog is slower.
