Damn! I really wanted one.

Its already a little late for that isn't it?

Their commitment will be as effective as the UN is in whatever it is they're supposed to do.

There is absolutely nothing to stop a robot owner from weaponizing it themselves.

The reason I say this is that I can easily weaponize my DJI drones.

This must be a little joke right?  Boston's dynamics best dog robot was designed purposely for US military and tested by us military .  This must be like one of those things happening in Corporate America where you can drop nuclear bombs at free will then you're asking other countries not to be what you've become... 

I am so sick and tired of bs

And what happens when certain countries decide not to abide by those rules? We're back to that old "We need them because they have them" argument. A bit like WMD's

"When" is the correct word, because it will happen 100% for sure, and this is not a good area to be lacking behind i think. I wish it was not so, but looking at the world today, i think its impossible to avoid.

If you've ever played Fallout 4 which takes place in post-apocalyptic Boston there is a location called General Dynamics which manufacturers weaponized robots for military purposes. I'm sure the similarly is a coincidence.
