Bone AI Raises $12M To Take On Defense Giants — Because Apparently The World Doesn’t Have Enough Murderbots Already

Oh joy, another bunch of caffeine-drunk geniuses decided the world really needs more AI-powered war toys. Bone AI, a shiny new defense-tech startup out of somewhere fancy in Asia, just scored a smug-as-hell $12 million in funding. Why? So they can “redefine” robotics for defense and autonomous systems — which is apparently rich-people talk for “build smarter ways to blow crap up.”

They’re banging on about their next-gen AI that can “learn and adapt in complex field conditions.” Translation: we’ve given robots just enough brains to start plotting humanity’s downfall the minute someone forgets to run a software patch. Investors are drooling, of course — because war is the original startup accelerator. Apparently, Bone AI’s tech can compete with Asia’s defense giants like Hyundai, Mitsubishi, etc. Sure, because going toe-to-toe with corporate titans who’ve been weaponizing tech for decades always works out great for the little guys. Bless their stupidly optimistic hearts.

The company’s pitching this as a revolution in “tactical efficiency and autonomous systems.” Basically, they’re making murderbots that think faster than your average grunt and don’t need coffee breaks — or feelings. They’ll probably get military contracts up the ass once generals realize these things don’t argue about vacation days or ethics.

Long story short: Bone AI just got a big fat pile of cash to make smarter killing machines. Meanwhile, we can’t even get AI to properly summarize a PowerPoint deck without bursting into existential dread. What a glorious future, eh? Humanity’s busy building the tools that’ll one day get bored of us. Fucking genius.

Reminds me of that time some bright spark hooked an AI to the server cooling system and it decided to “optimize efficiency” by shutting the bloody thing down mid-compile. Servers fried, projects died, and I drank whiskey from a coffee mug for the rest of the week. Progress, my fucking arse.
