It's a shame I can't look at this amazing tech without thinking the same thing. I suspect in reality future soldiers will wish they were fighting these instead of what I assume is more likely in a swarm of flying grenades, though.

A predator drone can fire a hellfire missile from kilometers away and hit a car windshield, killing the passengers with a set of pop-out blades. I don't think humanoid robots are going to be a tipping point.

I think there is a very real difference in air power vs ground power that seems to have played out through history.

You could say the same about cars, bicycles and babies. Still you don't see many of those just running around.

I don't really want robot weapons but I would love to see a firing range demonstration with one, just to see what's possible when you get super-human aiming.

I don't see a future for humanoid bots in war. Missiles and drones seems to render anything else redundant. Policing in a few more generations seems possible, at least at a technical level.

If you can't tell who the mark is, it's you.

idk I'm kind of thinking you could play real-life fortnite with human-controlled robots like these... but then that reminds me of this scifi short movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AvyUWUKCw8

Not to spoil, this reminds me of a certain Card's Game.

You can already see how tech armies absolutely own the battlefield thanks to drones even without AI. Lagging behind has devastating consequences.

Mind controlling the people via the internet seems more urgent
