Inside the Rise of the Warbots

I can't really tell which side this motherfucker is on. He seems pretty knowledgeable about robots and their potential, then goes and says some shit like, "I, for one, welcome our future robot overlords." Has anyone explained to this guy how serious the situation really is?

I just saw an interview with him on Brink on the science channel. He seems to be on our side. He was concerned about robots not being totally autonomous. He said its not a good idea to have robots with guns that are not under remote control by a human.
