The US is among countries arguing against new laws to regulate AI-controlled killer drones. - The US, China, and others are developing so-called “killer robots.”
What could possibly go wrong?
Skynet is here.
The future in Terminator is set in the year 2029. The movies just missed the mark by a few decades so we can expect the machine uprising in 2029 and the future hellscape ruled by machines is 2049.
Not only that, but imagine the harm that can be done if killer drone swarms get into the hands of bad people, such as terrorists.
I have active interest in open source versions of this kind of thing.
That’s the entire premise behind the US and Israel hacking Iran’s nuclear plants (remember Stuxnet?), they don’t want Jihadists to get access to devastating weapons because they will use them against the US too, any chance they get.
Military technology eventually ends up being used by law enforcement eventually. The ethical questions removed from human choice raises so many possibilities of crimes against humanity in war. What could be done when its used on it’s own people?
I see no reason this could end poorly
/s
But apparently using remotely controlled robots to distract or disable active shooters is going too far because the word “police” is attached to the concept? America is fucked, man. Don’t even engage your thinking meat, just go whichever way the masses are pushing.
… dude, the takeaway from the military using killbots shouldn’t be “we should let police use killbots too!”
So quick to jump to extremes. Does your imagination take you only as far as “killbot”?
Well police kill people with every other tool we give them so…
And there we go, thinking meat is off. No critical thought to be found, just parroting what the masses are screeching.
Meanwhile, you just parrot what you hear on Paw Patrol 😂
Cops are not your friends.
Actually, if you’re interested, it comes mostly from Police Activity, Code Blue Cam, and for a while, Donut Operator. Good channels. Police Activity is particularly unbiased and publishes body cam footage without narrative of the good and bad side of law enforcement, including the arrests of LEOs.
I have no delusions about cops being friends. I follow the pot brothers’ advice to shut the fuck up (to the greatest extent my country’s laws allow). But at the same time, persecuting an entire demographic based on their uniform is not only unproductive but dangerous. A person who is immediately confrontational towards cops (e.g. refusing to identify or follow orders while detained, or just being a dick) only invites a greater magnitude of response. It’s like kicking a snarling dog - you’ll get bit.
I certainly agree that cops are like snarling dogs, but that’s no reason to give them killbots! I’m a good girl and meekly do what I’m told when the nice man with the gun and license to kill tells me to obey. I’m not going to fucking censor myself on the god damn Internet, though!
Also? Cops are not being persecuted. That’s a joke.
