Reply to comment by FinancialTea4 in Top robot companies pledge not to add weapons to their tech to avoid harm risk | Leading robotics firms promise not to add weapons to general use technology and said they would oppose others doing so by SetMau92

Exactly. When (not if) a company starts pulling in hundreds of millions manufacturing automated weaponry then the rest of the industry will follow their lead or get left behind and bought out by their successful competitors and absorbed into the war machine. There's no way around it. We're marching at a steady pace towards the dystopian future that we all thought was pure fiction. No exaggeration.

Well, it's not likely this will happen but it is possible that we could come together as a species to ensure that these technologies are managed responsibly and their development is harnessed for the good of humanity. It's definitely possible. But again, not likely. 😞
