13. Everything has good and bad uses, especially military technology.
But, it seems like most of these military gizmos have been used more for bad than good lately. Without self-defense means, a vehicle like this would be easy for any opposition to pick off. But self defense really means offense - humans soldiers kill innocent civilians all too often, so imagine much worse a robot with some rudimentary AI would be on that score.

It wasn't lack of technology that doomed people in New Orleans, it was lack of political will. That can't be changed by robots.

I do obviously also like the internet.
