Robots are no joke, man. They steal old people's medicine.

You'd think countless dystopian futuristic fantasies might deter us from this a bit. And now it's happening, but it feels like some sort of joke. Not much we can do about it I suppose.

Sadly ALL technology comes form the military industrial complex and its pseudo counter parts (NASA). Just look at the internet, it's a communications platform built for nuclear war. The military WILL invent killer robots and if you disagree the pro isr@el media will descend upon you in the most efficient manner to both discredit you and deter you from ever speaking out again.

because we already have autonomous vehicles, it's only one step away from adding the autonomous weapons system, and all the major nations will have this, because they all think the other already has this or is working on it in secret.

Barrett .50 cal provides checks and balances.

If you shoot yours first maybe, also flesh is less resilient then metal armor.

Well of course you have to be the one that shoots first! They make armor piercing incindiary rounds that go through 1/2 inch of steel and start shit on fire so I guess it depends on what kind of robot you're talking about. If it's C3PO it's gonna be fucked up.

Lol only against meat. You gonna shoot a swarm of bumblebee sized murderbots with your big boy gun huh?

You've never fired a Barret .50 cal I see. The sonic shockwave would, in fact, kill a swarm.

Not then you have to switch over to scatter gun and armor.

Or we could just run microwaves near them, seems to kill Wifi pretty well.
