Remember the good old days when people killed people
Remember that moment when you are at the top of the roller coaster and you can feel the car just start to slip down the slope. I think this wee little tracked beastie is that moment. Now if only we know where the tracks led. Do we get the Skynet future with wall to wall skull carpeting or some other kinder future where robots fight each other for our amusement while we tryst with our pleasure droids? Or perhaps we watch pleasure droids fight while we make out with automated gun platforms. The future is a hazy place but if there is anything I can predict is all of the above will be available for viewing online.
I’m sorry, I’m having some trouble parsing your scenario. Can you rephrase it? Judging by the syntax, I can tell that you’re laying out three distinct options, but as I ponder each one I’m unable to discern any meaningful difference between them.
As for your unreasonable aversion to the idea of machines gunning down humans in cold blood, your options for adapting to this inevitable reality boil down to two strategies. One of them is short and unpleasant.
Tsk. Clearly, it is not inevitable that machines will begin gunning down humans in cold blood. Depending on the specific design architectures involved, the machines in question may not have blood, or any analog thereof.

Uh, just be aware, in your option B you run the risk of pleasure droids becoming Cylons.
Fixed it for you…
Uh, just be aware, in your option B you have the potential benefit of pleasure droids becoming Cylons.

LOL, oh, right, sorry
It’s like “Choose Your Own Utopia!”

Re: Remember the good old days when people killed people
So, um…what’s the difference, exactly, between a killer droid and a pleasure droid? Is thos one of those “to-MA-to, to-MAH-to” things?
Re: Remember the good old days when people killed people
Hmm thats a good question… Caliber and lubrication I figure

Is this an entrant for RobotWars?
Wow. Now THAT is an excellent idea; it could easily demolish all the other combatants, and the spectators in the first seven rows!

Overlords… protectors… just depends on which way that barrel’s pointing.
Please tell me that the system is somehow linked to a bit computer network called Skynet 🙂
Just be patient… Believe me, you’ll know when it happens.

“Just as long as we have a working weapon by June, right Dave?”
‘I wouldn’t know John, I haven’t had a working weapon since Korea’.
