Is this dog going to sleep 18 hours a day like mine does?

Rumor has it that the dog will leave land mines like dogs do...do.

Do android dogs dream of electric cats...?

I'm sorry, but I don't trust any dog that can't lick themselves. Giving one a gun... what exactly do they think is going to happen when it tries humping it's handlers leg?? I don't see that ending well!

Just sayin....

 

[Longwalkhome]

I wonder how much weight those military androids can carry.

Well, this is an interesting development. What with AI and robotics all the rage, maybe they can figure out a way to eliminate human labor from military service altogether. This would generate the usual gravy for defense contractors, but would significantly reduce VA benefit payouts and services. The programmers can probably figure out ways to make the robots polish floors, clean latrines and goof off at the PX snack bar.

What about furniture and appliance rentals?
Who's going to overpay for V-6 Camaros, mustangs and Mopar products?
Will the robots marry all the fat girls with pre-existing kids?

The chinese did it first...

Oh, well as long as they are "committed to developing and employing all weapon systems, including those with autonomous features and functions, in a responsible and lawful manner". That's all the reassurance I need, thanks SkyNet!

Well, if they're anything like a real dog…. more like finding electric cat turds would be my guess.

I will take six please. Four to patrol the perimeter and two for backup if one of the primaries encounters a threat.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

LoL. This guy gets it.

Here is a shrewd man who fully understands all the economic dimensions of our military-industrial complex. Time to short Rent-a-Center.

I am wondering if I can ride on its back, I am heavy but would love to fire a machine gun mounted on its back.
