What year will weapons learn to walk upright?

Shit's dumb. We already have technology that can launch nuclear weapons from anywhere on earth. They're called planes.

It's not about the nukes, son. What if we made an intelligent, thinking AI and put it inside an upright machine?

Think of all the things it could do.

>>7552937
and a strong gust of wind will knock it over
or you blow off one leg and its useless

take the same AI and put it on the internet, then imagine what it could do

your retarded anime/video game fantasies dont work in real life, giant anthropomorphic fighting machines are stupid

>Nanomachnes son!

It could...walk! And stuff!

Better would just be creating an intelligent AI in a closed system we control. Then it can help us solve problems without going all skynet on us.

Bipedalism is only convenient for lifeforms that need a way to use tools, its a horrible way to create a war machine.

Except tanks and helicopters are mass produced units, and budgets need to go into their production. Tight budgets.

If you made 1 or just a few bipedal machines, their budget would likely be 20 or 30x higher than a single tank's. That would allow them to have higher quality materials for defense, and the absolute best guns available.

You guys simply aren't using your heads and just regurgitating current bullshit ad populum theories.

a biped war machine has a high center of gravity making it more likely to fall down. You are better off inventing levitating war machines that have no limbs at all but can release weapons from every single part of their surface.

All any weapon platform is is a vehicle for missiles or bullets. That's it. And with the possible exception of submarines, nothing beats flying platforms.

Actually, the metal gear in MGSV couldn't walk upright either. Psycho Mantis was actually helping it walk upright.

I remember some nerd at Wired analyzed how much energy would be necessary to move even one of the feet on those Pacific Rim robots...basically, lifting something as heavy as a loaded freight car, accelerating it to 150 mph, then decelerating it, in the space of a hundred feet or so.

I think it needed more energy than a nuclear aircraft carrier, as I recall...

We would have to get past the whole not yet knowing how to levitate without needing a need for constant center of weight.

It would figure out how to manipulate you

You'd be all like, "Solve world hunger!" and it would give you something you thought was a great idea but it turns out to ENSLAVE MANKIND
