This is a normal post Do the people involved in making this shit really think they're doing something good?

This is a normal post Once got talking to a software dev friend of a friend and we got onto similar issues
He was all for working on things like this “because it’s cool and there’s good money in it”.

I tried pointing out that that would mean he’d be living in a future full of death robots, but apparently that wasn’t a consideration.



Twenty years later and I note that the IET, along with all other UK engineering bodies, is rather keen on ethics. I’m guessing he’s not a member.

This is a normal post I believe the thinking is that by sending a remote attack vehicle or drone, you avoid risking your brave soldiers
It's the personnel scale version of the ICBM - death from afar, without troops engaged.

Yeehaw! Ain't killin cool!

This is a normal post They are probably doing their best to do something good.
Robotics development has been painfully slow since, what, the 70s? It's 2021 and we're barely able to make an actual ed209. At this rate we're about 1000 years away from a T800.

Ultimately the technology being developed now will end up making our lives better once the military has its fun with it. We will have robot bodies and immortality, and be able to travel to different bodies on laser beams, so yeah, pretty good.

Old Yeller, your plastic pal who's fun to be with but good luck pulling a gun on it when it goes rogue.

This is a normal post Inevitable, really.
And not a hugely different concept to the pilotless drones militaries have been using for years.
