    What do you mean, as entertainment? Most people currently seem entertained by these.

    But this is just getting started.

    As helpful androids? Sure, can it one day clean my house and do my shopping? I’d buy one (though I suppose they would have some awful privacy problems).

    As military robots? Can they one day operate a tank? Carry and fire weapons? I can think of a few people that want that.

      Well there you go… I guess I am in the minority on this. I don’t want these things anywhere near me or my family.

      But yes I can imagine cops loving the idea of these things crushing protestors throats in the street.

        Yes I can see some really altruistic uses for these but they’re outweighed by the malicious ones.

        Like RING cameras and the other brands, would be super cool to help locate lost children and elderly but bad people are going to use them for fascism.
