Very nice

Also very scary as this is just the next step after what Boston dynamics has already shown. You can bet your ass that military leaders are jerking off over these things

Granted, their battery life will still be Abysmal but that too is being resolved over time.

I'm not afraid of self aware terminators. I'm afraid of sad dictators with tiny penis syndrome getting access to shit like this in, say, a decade from now.

    I think most of this is choreographed. Autonomous killing machines are probably a few weeks away

    I'd think autonomous killing machines wouldn't have a humanoid shape, as it would be optimized for efficient lethality and not things like grasping external tools and all-terrain movement that is calorically efficient and biomechanically sustainable.

    I can see them having to fill multipurpose roles. Patrolling Guard, escort, checkpoint guards, tunnel rat, climb, then the straight out killing machine. No different than the combat teams we have today. APC, tank, specialty teams (motor),

    If it came to fighting them humans would resort to tactics to defeat them or take away their advantage. Tunnels and ladders would be simplest examples.
