And it just feels like someone's going to put the pieces together that the tech exists and And this would be massively viral and controversial and get me a ton of attention, which could be good. It could be bad, but I could at least harness it. And so I think someone's going to do it. Maybe they're listening right now.

Yeah, it is interesting. Will it be an arm of Tesla? Elon is already a defense contractor with SpaceX, but he hasn't built ICBMs, even though he builds rockets. Or Anduril has a lot of capabilities, and they build autonomous weapon systems now, and so they could build something like this. But my original take on Twitter was more just like,

the vibes are coalescing around the idea that this will be something that people will talk about if it happens and all the pieces are there for the demo at least and yeah maybe it's tele-operated maybe it's a very niche use case and honestly like yeah giving it a gun is probably not even the most valuable thing i mean still search and rescue just going into the nuclear reactor when it's melting down or you know going into the burning building

Like, you know, teleoperation for, you know, the firefighter gets out of the truck and is like, okay, I'm going to virtually, I'm going to put on my VR headset and the robot's going to walk in and rescue the kitten. Like, that makes a ton of sense. And maybe that's the first thing. But yeah, I mean, we are...

coming to the era of like it is believable that there will be a robot with a gun somewhere in the world in the next couple decades and somebody's going to be building that and that's just interesting to think about you know is it good is it bad there's a lot of things you could you could work through um there will be a lot of regulations a lot of rules and you know what does the geneva convention say about it and i'm sure we'll have a big debate and there'll be lots of you know editorial pieces and op-eds but uh

Well, I just started a new podcast called Technology Brothers. It's a weekly chat show with me and a friend. We just talk about the news of the week. Very casual, but very cinematic. We're having a lot of fun with it. And then I do have a YouTube channel, just my name, John Coogan. And I put up video essays and documentaries about tech and business and politics and all sorts of stuff.
