I'm inclined to agree. Google probably does not want to be the company that creates Terminators for the Pentagon. Watching the last BD demo on YouTube, watching that humanoid stomp through the forest, I couldn't help but joke how terrifying it would be to see one of those things holding a machine gun.

Funny thing is I would be far less terrified of it than a human if it were holding a machine gun because its human-like movement is so incredibly slow I would feel like I actually had a chance (even if I didn't). However, if they embedded the machine gun into the bot itself (which I think is far more likely) then you could have instant targeting which shifts the terrifying back to the bot. It would also not look like it even has a gun depending on how they incorporated it and it could fire in multiple directions at once. Ah, the future of war. So efficient and terrifying.
- Kliment 11y agoThere are already automated "click to kill" turrets. They have a thermal camera and a gun, do automated target detection and automated killing. It's only due to customer demand that they have a human in the loop clicking the kill button. Having been within the firing range of one of those, it's a really terrifying feeling.
- hellbanner 11y agoWhich company makes these?
- sirkneeland 11y agoI think Samsung has a division that makes them for the ROK military (not being facetious, but possibly being incorrect)
