    We’re probably a year or 2 away from armed boston dynamic style robots, or more focused AI based drones etc…

    You mean autonomous drones that don’t need a human to pull the trigger? Because we already have drones with weapons, they just need pilots.

      My point is more or less the already partially existing human controlled drones, though also noting the possibility of say the next wave where they don’t go past just getting a target and committing assassinations.

      Point is the idea of specific targetted (IE concepts of weapons that could be as precise, as undamaging towards infrastructure as foot soldiers with guns, but without requiring humans that are at least vulnerable to conventional weaponry.
