    The same old rubbish about "machine" intelligence.

    We already have an "artificial intelligence" right here between our ears, and once we realize it no international treaties or social movements will save us.

    Well, unlike orbital weaponry (or anything space related for that matter) robot tech is comparatively economical in terms of development and production, i.e. by far easier to obtain than a geostationary missile platform. So the number of people who would have an interest in trying their hands on that stuff is larger. I'm afraid this will see more widespread use.
    Regarding the fact that asymmetrical warfare is unlikely to disappear, I'm curious: What would be good and cheap counters to a platoon of combat robots? Things that attack the circuitry, i.e. EMP-based stuff?
