While Trump is building his vanity ballroom, China is building the robot armies that will show up on future battlefields.
Priorities, ladies and gentlement. Priorities.

@randahl The uprising has begun.🤖
@randahl hey @briankrebs shame on you for sharing this clearly fake shit.
@randahl Two things, even if this was real it's a stupid idea. Destroying the planet with war machines will result in everyone dying, not just the enemy.
Secondly this won't be for war, they are not capable of such actions. They follow a simple mechanical system to remain in balance and we already have machines that do this "running" a lot faster.
They're called trains, cars, and planes.
@randahl has anyone ever read a book?
@randahl while this is an extremely inefficient form of robot for warfare, it would be nice in the household where all things are designed for something human shaped to do the household chores.
My worries would be that one day it, for some reason, decides that I'm an extra large piece of card board that needs to be folded in half three times before being showed into the trash bin
@randahl I'm looking at this, and the Imperial March from The Empire Strikes Back is playing in my head.
@randahl you can’t grab a robot by the p….
Hence trump doesnt care
to be fair, aside from the details, funding dancing over war seems better?
@randahl There’s a Cyberman factory in Texas!
@randahl there's no way these would be used for combat. Human mobility ain't so good that your war winning robot wants to duplicate it. They'll be disposable flying grenades and robot dogs with eight horror legs with blades on them and they'll shoot robot bees from their mouths.
So, I know people kind of intuitively imagine that fascism is always something that can be recovered from or overturned eventually, but we're entering an age where technology will allow for genuinely permanent fascism.
Not just physically with an army of emotionless robotic enforcers, but using AI to find and hand-tailor propaganda for every individual on the planet to keep them blind, divided and ineffectual in realtime at a scale their human brain can't keep up with.
@randahl
Imho, the robot armies won‘t be bipedal robots; they will be small autonomous rovers with automatic guns or rocket launchers mounted on top.
Just like the systems Ukraine is allready using sucessfully against Russia.
