I'm ready for my home helper robot that makes dinner and does the dishes and takes out the trash.

But I'm scared for when those home helpers get drafted to fight in wars, either for or against me...

I suspect the latter will come way before the former...

		It is already here. Not humanoid (yet, but it's in the works) but tracked robots with bolted on machine guns have both held and captured positions in UA.

I think you'll be waiting a while for the former, unless you're ok with strangers teleoperating a robot around your house whenever it gets confused.

You should be relieved that they're sending robots instead of you to get blown up by a drone.

One intelligent humanoid robot per house. What could go wrong really. Possibly the worst idea.
