I could knock that out with a GLASGOW KISS

Dubai. Not 100% sure it's real or a Porsche viral?

Why are these creepy bds still in a lab somewhere instead of kicking ass in the Donbass?

Because the AI is still a long way from reliably differentiating between combatants and non-combatants.

And also, you could probably take one of these down with a modest catapult and some ball bearings. Or a bucket of water. Or a skipping rope.

Or you could just wait for six minutes or so until its battery ran out.

And they cost a squiltybillion dollars, and they could do a terminator 2 on them and reprogramme to work for the other side.

But I recon it's mostly batteries/powering the things, if they ran for a week I recon they'd have given a few a shot (pardon the pun) by now, remotely controlled, and somewhere far away from a large concentration of civilians, but as it stands it's got a poorer battery life than a first gen Audi Etron.

Yep, they look like Terminators but they are just basic robots that can do the most basic things. Impressive in 2024 but utterly hopeless in a warzone.

Plus, can you imagine the reaction if you did put these things into military service and gave them weapons to kill humans! The world would lose its mind!

We've had autonomous weapons for decades, just not with the ability to move around on their own!

I can see it happening in the near future, just not with a humaniod robot. I suspect it would look something like "big dog", with a weapon on its back. Drop a herd of killbots into a geofenced enemy front line and let it go to town. Could work against tanks as well.

What could possibly go wrong
