Army Testing Robot Dogs Armed with Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Rifles in Middle East
Army Testing Robot Dogs Armed with Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Rifles in Middle East
The Army was testing at least one armed quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle at an installation in Saudi Arabia.

Testing armed robot dogs in the Middle East instead of the US is pretty telling.
Can't be accidentally murdering Americans with a software glitch.

53 0 ReplyWhich is wild when you add perspective using facts like the police in the US are less disciplined than troops overseas and tbe US still uses substances banned by the Geneva Convention on its civilian population. So if even the US wwon't test it on their own people, it's bad.
13 0 ReplyListen, the Geneva convention only specifies what we can't use on enemies, okay? As long as the targets are technically friendlies, it's fair game!

"The US military has been adopting a new climate friendly mindset and approach to international conflict. With this invention we can help our genocidal colonies acquire more land with little to no carbon emissions. We plan to be carbon-neutral by 2050, provided no one retaliates and attacks back."
