    It’s not “Terminator” scary......yet

    Is it me, or is it impossible to watch the progress at Boston Dynamics without thinking of Terminator, SkyNet, and a "Phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range?” With the new optics that calculate your firing solution, advancements in facial identification, I just don’t see the mass weaponization of robotics as Science Fiction anymore. Oh, and Happy New Year!

    I think that's pretty much as scary as the Terminator. Maybe its not super duper Terminator tough, but its a lot faster.

    How far is that sucker from what William Gibson would call a “slamhound”?

    This gives me a Half-Life dystopian vibe.
