Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Saw the Boston Dynamics robot dogs with a gun, and I don't think we have to worry, due to it using a regular magazine and not having opposable thumbs it is has a preset kill maximum of 30 people.

Granted, whoever tries to put these into production is probably gonna give it a belt-fed or some shit like that. A gunbot isn't much of a gunbot unless you've got at least a couple hundred rounds ready to go.

Frickin' laser beams or GTFO. A gunbot with a metal-projectile weapon taped to its arm is like something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie where they've lost all the knowledge needed to build new tech.
