I was speaking to my friend from undergrad who’s a PhD student at Stanford, he works on computer vision. I was amazed by the amount of progress purportedly being made in the field, and in AI more broadly.
He recommended I watch the demo of Tesla’s Optimus robot, here it is:

These robots have only been getting better and better, at accelerating rates in recent years.
Hardware limits, a significant obstacle in the way of AI progress, are almost doubling yearly. With quantum computing on the horizon, I anticipate that that obstacle disappears completely.
Once robots like Tesla’s Optimus become more advanced, how long will it be until they coat them in bullet proof armor, arm them, and have them come after us? I used to dismiss ideas like this as science fiction, but now it seems like it’ll be reality within the next decade or two.
If so, is there any chance of turning back time and revolting? I don’t think so. If we let it get to that point the best we’d be able to do is hope for a miracle.
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.
On advanced detection: China is already using it.
On cost: As mentioned, hardware quality is increasing very, very quickly. With that, so is scalability. I think in the near future, we are safe, but you can’t be sure about that in the long run.
On why robot militants are much more dangerous than human militants: Robots will have no qualms with murdering you and your whole family. They lack a moral compass, more so than even niggers dare I say.
I can see why you want to be optimistic though, the other perspective is very grim.
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.
I‘m also way more comfortable with Robot cops than I am with niggers, or Zogbots because again the robots will have an algorithm they follow. They will only be enforcers at worst, still better than the cops that did Ruby Ridge and Waco.
