    DARPA doesn’t build the real thing, they fund the building of the real thing, it’s their MO. The robot dogs and bipeds and quadcopter drones that Boston Dynamics and Anduril and other companies have been building are the frontier and DARPA is one financier amongst a sea of others. The Ellisons just bought our military, apparently, or at least purchased a $130M stake in it, to illustrate a point that we’re fucked even if the robots don’t end up being the most efficient way to do the deed.
