Well, to touch further on that, I don't really think that's as big of a problem as you're making it out to be. Firstly, armor is heavy. Any armor worth a damn would render a robot like that slow as a snail to outright stationary, and even if they equipped it with some sort of sci-fi bullshit armor that doesn't weigh anything, light it on fire or hit it with explosives, especially a shaped charge, and that thing is gonna be rendered into scrap metal pretty damn quick.

If it's the advanced detection tech you're worried about, do remember a couple months ago when a couple Marines fooled a DARPA detection AI by hiding under a cardboard box Solid Snake style.

And then, the most important detail I think on why this isn't a problem: cost. Sending out an army of militarized robots like this would be a monumental expense, from research and development, making sure these things even work to begin with, to actually building them, and then keeping them working in field conditions, mud, rain, long periods of sun exposure, extreme temperatures and terrain conditions, fielding an army of these things would be a financial and logistical nightmare.

As much as I hate to say it, it would be cheaper and dare I say MUCH more effective to just gather up all the niggers in the big cities, slap an AK in their hands and send them at us.

> 1-2 decades

They've been saying that since the 60s.

We are no close now than we were in the 70s. Literally nothing has gotten better.

The best way to utilize hardware is to write programs by hand. There is no other way.
