Because what could possibly go wrong.

      When the Military-Industrial Complex goes brrrrrrrrrrr, it’s hard for companies to say no to the piles of cash that they offer.

      There is a difference between being full of shit and plausible deniability. Their statement is as follows:

      “We pledge that we will not weaponize our advanced-mobility general-purpose robots or the software we develop that enables advanced robotics and we will not support others to do so. When possible, we will carefully review our customers’ intended applications to avoid potential weaponization.”

      Which in layman’s terms is:

      “We don’t SUPPORT groups weaponizing the robots and we won’t give them special software to do so buuuuuut if they buy a robot for search and rescue purposes (and put that down for their use-case) only to later strap rifles to it? Well that’s on them for using it against our wishes. We can’t help what people do with their property”

          BD doesn’t make murder bots. They make incredibly advanced robot platforms that other people have made into murder bots. You seriously can’t tell the difference?

                  No, sorry, I don’t think I’m smart enough to explain it in a way you’d understand….for…reasons.

                    I was asking in earnest but seems you just want to be an asshole and insult my intelligence for trying to understand what you mean.

                    I mean it sounds to me like you guys are saying that since its not BD strapping the guns themselves we should accept it?

                    I don’t get why people are being assholes about this I’m genuinely trying to understand your viewpoints and nobody wants to explain just call me an idiot.
