Here is “Thermonator” the robot dog with flamethrower, ready to serve Skynet
Remember the "cute" dancing robo-dogs from Japanese-owned Boston Dynamics that do all sorts of tricks, like decorating a Christmas tree and opening doors? Cute, harmless, or not?
While Boston Dynamics has pledged not to use robo-dogs as weapons, other companies have.
China has made its own version of "spot", the robot dog, but with an automatic rifle
Another Chinese defense contractor showed a drone deploying an armed robo-dog in a mock war zone.

Now another robo-dog that a US company called “Throwflame” has developed as “the first robot dog wielding a flamethrower,” according to its website.
“This quadruped is paired with the ARC flamethrower to deliver fire on demand anywhere!” Throwflame stated. It can fire jets of fire up to 30 feet away.
The militarization of robot dogs is terrifying. Even more disturbing is that some of these bots are receiving OpenAI's ChatGPT updates that make them even smarter.
