Anyone still remembers when they said they would never use dog robots for weapon/war purposes? I do. Things always age like milk and it’s unsurprising.
Boston Dynamics said that, and they have stuck to that commitment. IIRC it’s even in the contract when you buy a robot from them that you will not equip it with a weapon.
This article is about Ghost Robotics, which has never made such a commitment. They are known to supply gun-equipped robots to governments at all levels.
Absolutely fantastic stuff here.
The continued aggressive sheer will of the US government to take every cautionary tale ever written and make it reality.
God, this is such worthless doomer shit. Oh fucking no, the military can reduce lives lost in times of war. T H E H U M A N I T Y!
It’s like you want Russia to walk over eastern Europe using 50 year olds weapons.
What vacuum said.
We have reached the final frontier of pussies making machines to destroy their “enemies” machines… and unarmed civilians.
I guarantee you the US is not going to send these robots to Russia.
They are going to deploy them on impoverished people and on the boarders to murder immigrants.
And then inevitably into cities that are protesting Fascism.
Here’s another cautionary tale.

So, how soon is it until they cram ChatGPT, Tensorflow, and a few others into this thing and actually make a Terminator?
Also, let me know if anyone sees any naked dudes crawl out of some lightning balls.
Well, yeah. That was the goal of creating all of these.
Hell, Boston Dynamics was originally funded heavily by DARPA. BigDog, AlphaDog, LittleDog, and LS3 were all funded by DARPA and designed for military use.
This is old anyway. They were strapping guns to the ghost robotics dogs as far back as 2021. https://www.popsci.com/technology/ghost-robotics-robot-dog-gun-lethal/
