>Militaries, law enforcement, and more around the world are increasingly [turning to robot dogs](https://www.businessinsider.com/army-looks-into-robot-dog-armed-ai-rifle-shoot-drones-2024-8) — which, if we’re being honest, look like something straight out of a science-fiction nightmare — for a variety of missions ranging from security patrol to combat.
>Robot dogs first really came on the scene in the early 2000s with Boston Dynamics‘ „BigDog“ design. They are becoming increasingly prolific with improved designs, and they have been used in both military and security activities. In November, for instance, it was reported that robot dogs had been added to President-elect Donald Trump’s security detail and were on patrol at his home in Mar-a-Lago.
>Some of the remote-controlled canines are equipped with sensor systems, while others have been equipped with rifles and other weapons. One Ohio company made one with a flamethrower.
Anyone in their right mind should be opposing this. It’s only a matter of time before they use these domestically.
This is the inevitable path of the automation of warfare. These, combined with AI, essentially guarantee that we now face an existential threat. I’ve seen it in conjecture on this sub as what must be guarded against, and now it seems it’s happening without much consideration at all. We’re not going to be a type 1 civilization. Maybe our AI will ❤️
Let’s agree that these robots would be useful for demining rather than wasting human resource.
I have not seen 1 single video of a robodog being used in combat.
