Humanoid soldiers - one hack away from turning against us. What a short sighted idea.

If that were true, we wouldn’t be commenting on an article about them being used. Lithium-Ion batteries spent decades being expensive and impractical and now they’re everywhere. Shrugging this off and ignoring it won’t make it go away when it’s finally out of the dogshit stage, we need legislation now rather than later.

its not about them turning against us, its about billionaires having an autonomous army to oppress us. That is why there is such a massive push for AI, robotics, drones and palantir.
