The continued aggressive sheer will of the US government to take every cautionary tale ever written and make it reality.
Here’s another cautionary tale.

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.
Anyone actually surprised? It was clear from the get go that this was where these bots were headed…
I know it’s the correct way to word it, but this sounds like rifles on robotic arms mounted on real dogs
Before they made the knife missile, I expected someone to mount the robotic sniper array on a Predator.
But robot murder dogs are just another drone if they’re controlled by an operatons team.
We cross the crazy sci-fi line when they’re able to autonomously select and attack targets based on an algo.
Israel is already assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists with autonomous/remote-controlled gun platforms. The last one I’ve heard of apparently was able to use facial recognition and shoot the scientist in his car sparing the other passengers.
Next to that, putting the platform on a Spot seems almost trivial. Maybe one day they’ll be able to airdrop a bot, have it walk kilometers across a forest, and place itself in a position to snipe someone marked for death by one State or another.
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/
