(58,348 posts)1. This video shows more action of the Ghost Robotic Dog Drones

Uncle Joe
(58,348 posts)3. I hear you IrishAfricanAmerican,
I thought about the Sopwith Camel/Jet analogy that I posted on the other thread and I don't believe it will take near as long to reach the jet age in robotics because of the Internet, increased global population and a more Industrialized world than we had at the turn of the 20 century.
It took approximately 15-20 years from the Sopwith Camel Age to the first jet in the early 30s.

Skynet is us or at least it could be us if humanity doesn't become self-aware first.
It's all about disconnection from ourselves and each other.
