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
Oh thank God, I misunderstood and was shocked by the barbarism.
some style guides are really dumb and consider “a b-c d” to be “(a b)-(c d)”, as if a hyphen is less tightly binding than a space
Truly a weapon to surpass metal gear!
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/

I hear you can distract it by throwing some batteries at it.
Who’s a good boy?
Only thing shocking about this is that it took this long. Any drone capable of carrying a weapon was going to get one. I mean, look at Ukraine right now. Consumer drones with soda bottle improvised explosives and cardboard drones. I can see a future where most warfare is drone vs drone, to see who can hit the other’s supply lines / storage first.
The way Russia’s turtling with illegal mines, drones are basically one of the only ways to attack without taking massive losses while also moving slowly and being sitting ducks for artillery.
The future will never be about drone vs drone, as no one cares about the drones. They have to hit where it hurts, which is human life.
Best case scenario, wars will be fought over drone command centres. Much more probably drones will be used to increase civilian suffering to end the wars.
Anyone who’s played The Division knows the Black Tusks did this years ago

Concidering we already have robotic birds dropping explosive on enemies in curren warfare, this really isn’t that big of a deal
Automation is the big deal. Drones have cameras so humans can make a (hopefully) informed disision to strike or not. When (read; now) the drone doesn’t need a camera because it can make the call without a human in the loop, we have removed a vital bottleneck.
The only thing that stopped WWI from being total war is that when we wipped out an entire generation, we needed time to grow more troops. If autonomous weapons being manufactured autonomously by autonomously constructed factories… whoever controled the drones could of conquered the world.
No, that assumes that resources and energy are unlimited. This is the main problem with any “grey goo” scenario.
And it wasn’t people being killed that stopped WW2. People are killed in every war. The defensive weaponry was more powerful than the offensive weaponry. Machine guns were only used on defense because they were heavy. Also, artillery was not mechanized so it was hard to move everything forward quickly.
Not to mention millions or even billions of robotic drones that monitor us all.
We’re now a step closer to making dogs with BBs in their mouths and when they bark they shoot BBs at you.
This was inevitable. I was imagining Ukrainians would love to have a tool like this to remotely walk up and clear trenches.
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.
If I may quote our future robotic overlord.
Neet.
Imagine a mobile gun controlled by ChatGPT 3.5. 😐
Atlas’s brothers are in the making. The are searching for a proper name … any suggestions?
