Dec 30, 2015 · mtgx on US military shelves Google robot plan

Wait - didn't Google say it wouldn't pursue military contracts, when it bought those Boston Dynamics robots? Because most people thought at the time it would be quite an "evil thing" for Google to do (building Terminator-like robots [1] for the US military's invasions and all that). So much for Google's promises.
