      Before they made the knife missile, I expected someone to mount the robotic sniper array on a Predator.

      But robot murder dogs are just another drone if they’re controlled by an operatons team.

      We cross the crazy sci-fi line when they’re able to autonomously select and attack targets based on an algo.

        Remember when they were surprised that drone operators also got ptsd?

        The Drones used today already using AI/algos in order to finish their mission even if for example the connection to the pilot is lost.

      Israel is already assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists with autonomous/remote-controlled gun platforms. The last one I’ve heard of apparently was able to use facial recognition and shoot the scientist in his car sparing the other passengers.

      Next to that, putting the platform on a Spot seems almost trivial. Maybe one day they’ll be able to airdrop a bot, have it walk kilometers across a forest, and place itself in a position to snipe someone marked for death by one State or another.
