- JohnFen 2y agoI think those robots are little more than a pipe dream, but... > "Hopefully, we'll get a license to use the rare earth magnets. China wants assurances that these are not used for military purposes, which obviously they're not. They're just going into a humanoid robot. So that's not a weapon system." "Obviously they're not"? What's so obvious about it? If they perform as Musk keeps promising, then they'd make a fantastic replacement for troops. Just slap a rifle in their hands and they're a weapon system.
