I don't know if you understand what military funded means... It's basically the military paying these guys to make something they can use in the military.
There is no doubt in my mind at least that all cute robots, useful AI, and other new things are just the public tip of the iceberg kind of a thing, to make people think it's something positive and not be afraid.
The most advanced things will be used by law enforcement and military to control and monitor the populations in secret.
So while I like tech, I'm also convinced that humans are going to use it to make the planet horrible to live on, to the degree that "don't get children" is the best advice ever.
