He's back. *fan girl squeal*

This first footage from Gareth Edwards's upcoming American Godzilla movie — which sounds very like the footage shown at Comic-Conearlier this year —is simple, reassuring, and incredibly effective. I think it's safe to say Godzilla is in very, very good hands.

Update: Trailer Pulled by WB.

This is an update on the Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics. This thing can balance better than a human. Terminator is not far behind if they can figure out a mobile power source.

France Calls for Ban of Lethal Autonomous Robots (LARS)

Translation from page 7 of PDF link

4) We must look to the future and address its challenges. An important debate has emerged in recent
months on the issue of Lethal Autonomous Robots (LARS). This is a key debate as it raises the
hndamental question of the place of Man in the decision to use lethal force. It is also a difficult
debate, as it highlights many ethical, legal and technical issues. It covers technologies which are not
yet fully developed and which are dual-use.
The terms of this debate need to be clarified. To be useful and allow progress, this discussion needs
to be held in an appropriate disarmament forum, combining the necessary military, legal and
technical expertise and all the States concerned.
