Developed by defense contractor Onyx Industries, the United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) is currently testing a quadruped robot with an AI-powered rifle attached to its back capable of bullseyeing womp rats with the precision of Luke Skywalker in his T-16 back home. Will the future of war be played out by gamers controlling robotic avatars? I’m pretty sure I saw a movie about that. It wasn’t a very good movie, but I 100% expect the real future to be equally disappointing.
