« Women Under the Sea | Main | Worst President Ever » Robot Watch07 Apr 2008 12:37 pm This battle bot isn't quite as threatening as some of the other recent efforts we've seen by the military-industrial complex to ignore the wisdom of sci-fi and create military robots who will inevitably enslave their human masters. Its saving grace is that it appears to require a human pilot sitting in the cockpit. Still, one could imagine these devices evolving, post-rebellion, into something like the Cylon raider animal/robot hybrids. Vigilance! Comments (5)
Matt, You might want to look into other career possibilities. Once the Butlerian Jihad hits, blogging is going to be problematic at best. 
It's worth point out, too, that robots break into homes to steal the old peoples' medicine. I think you can buy insurance for this, but it's just better all around if we don't go down that road.
as bad as Bush! Much like our efforts in Afghanistan were stimied by a pointless war in Iraq, so too is the crusade against the Godless robots a distraction from the war on terror on the seas: We must fight the piratists wherever they hide.
See, Matt is so ignorant of technology he doesn't know the difference between a robot, a cyborg, an android, or a piloted war machine like this.
