Dear OpenCog group, I think it would be better if you choose some more altruistic example, when you go public with this. Like connecting a disease with a cure in medicine, or alerting humanity for problems about polluting the Earth by unsolvable materials, or running out of the oil resources that only cause wars anyway, or something else. I think there must be a better use than showing off an "intelligent" killing machine. I mean something really influent, smart and ambitious, decent of a unit that should overpass us by intelligence.
