Reminds me of this short film: https://youtu.be/O-2tpwW0kmU https://youtu.be/O-2tpwW0kmU Just like this, it's scary because it is believable. FWIW, here's the real military using Boston Dynamics: https://youtu.be/OYs0Rq66-U4 https://youtu.be/OYs0Rq66-U4 And here's a remote controlled sniper rifle: https://youtu.be/md_q3pKoyEI https://youtu.be/md_q3pKoyEI So I would be very surprised if nobody had combined them yet. In that sense, I think it is very good that MSCHF is bringing more attention to it. The sooner we start talking about laws to govern this tech, the lower the chance of it ending up in the wrong hands.

Curious, who in your opinion has the "right" hands?

  Not OP. IMO, nobody. Not a single human has the "right" hands.

  Not sure if there are any. But I know for sure that I wouldn't want this technology to be sold to my neighbor with anger issues ;)

You can make your own open-sourced DIY micro version of Boston Dynamics' Robot Spot for a few hundred dollars. The design is actually very refined and the documentation is impressive. This is extremely scalable and could get out of hand quickly.

  Wow nice :) I can see that the idea is to use a simulator and reinforcement learning to train an AI to navigate unenven undergrounds. Another killer upgrade would probably be to add cameras and use SfM so that you have a 3D environment map for proactive movement planning.

In this country we have the Second Amendment to our Constitution which explicitly limits laws against arms technology. Besides export controls, what laws do you think we should implement?
