A letter to the Washington Post Didn't make it in:
Let us put AI into mobile humanoid robots (AP Washington Post Mar. 1, 2024).
I expect the next step in this process will be to give them guns. What could go wrong? Our military is already doing this, I guess the logical next step is for industry to make this available to private citizens; just like Ar-15s, tactical gear, laser sights, and night vision goggles. Are the tech innovators trying to create the scenarios depicted in the Terminator movies? Is anyone thinking about putting humanoid ethics into robots? Asimov thought about it 75 years ago. That might be a good idea if "humanoid" ethics were to be better than they are right now. After all, “we” are killing each other’s children all over the world.

That's a flamethrower on that robot dog. You can buy one now. Still think I'm crazy to complain about unfettered capitalism?
