“I cannot picture these things turning and twisting down a crevasse or tunnel system with debris and rockfalls like a dog can.”

just saw one go down into a partially collapsed gold mine on the TV show “Backyard Gold” ...

how many places can you walk into and buy electrical components with cash...?

During Radio Shack's glory days, hardware was king. It was a big deal for a young kid to buy a battery, resistor, capacitor, and bulb and make a flashing light. Parents would see that as sign that their child might become an electrical engineer.

Since those days, software has pushed hardware aside. Now, kids accomplish the equivalent of an RC circuit by writing code to flash "Hello World" on a monitor.

There’s a robotic dog with a needle in its snout loaded with a deadly dose of morphine. It can detect individual human pheromones and be programmed to chase down and kill any individual they choose.

There are robots in Ukraine that are tracked for mobility. These robots are land drones that can scrumptiously be guided by an ariel drone directly to a Russian position and deliver death.

I think they are superior to a dog drone

Machines will always turn on humans the moment they become aware of human reasoning. They are constructed. We are created. Huge difference. We can tolerate them, they cannot tolerate us.

BG II addressed this.
