If you didn't want the government to buy your killer robots then maybe you shouldn't have been BUILDING KILLER ROBOTS for the last two decades. What did you think the hundreds of millions in grants from the DoD was for exactly?

The Boston Dynamics website describes the product as being used by the government to “remotely assess and de-escalate tense or hazardous situations.”

So I’d love to hear from one of those employees about how they imagined those use cases.

Either they have huge cognitive dissonance, or I’m too cynical, because I cannot imagine a situation where a robot designed to remotely spy (sorry, assess) or apply force, lethal or not (aka de-escalate tense situations), wouldn't end up being used for the wrong things.
