The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans
-
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?
Just don't stand in front of any natural resources.
South America probably wishing they didn't discover lithium by this point
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.
The Nebuchadnezzar was commissioned in 2069 in The Matrix series.
Militaries depend on poverty for labor. Recruiters don't prowl around private schools in rich neighbourhoods. They focus on poor neighbourhoods. The problem is that once general AI is achieved, and the majority of the human population become unemployable, it's gonna be hard to have people just straight mass murder the masses and cull the human population down to what is sustainable long term... That's where the AI killbots come in!
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.
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.
I have active interest in open source versions of this kind of thing.
I see no reason this could end poorly

This journalism is as shitty as most software is at AI
Cut the mesh part out of the door on your microwave. Your TV meal warmer is the governments biggest enemy.
Your corneas will be having a word with you, and quickly.
I like when microwave give me warm brain hug
It'd certainly explain some gun control comments.
Wow. One trick pony.
I'd suggest it means your comment was so low quality as to be temporarily memorable.
☢️⚡🤤
Let the microwave hug you, be free my atomic brother
💀💀💀😭😭😭😢😢😢😡😡😡🙈🙈🙈💦💦💦💋💋💋
What?
I suspect they are thinking of something like this.

Drone flies up over Kherson Oblast. It asks you to pronounce паляниця.
You best not stutter
That's called a shibboleth
You have your ai voice generator say it, pronounced perfect
then why do we need generals?
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?
Command and control? What's that?
This is giving me Gundam: F91 bug vibes
Indeed. What horrors can be wrought by man alone.
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...
They've already blown people up with robots.
And there we go, thinking meat is off. No critical thought to be found, just parroting what the masses are screeching.
The evidence backs up the screeching, though.
Watch out guys, we got a lone wolf here
lol
Alex Jones go home
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.
The word "police" isn't used once in the article you rage baiting dork
I was referring to an earlier event where San Francisco police proposed to use remotely operated robots in barricaded suspect situations to disorient or otherwise disable a shooter without putting additional lives at risk. Like putting a stun grenade and a breaching explosive on an RC car. The proposal was rejected, with one official admitting to not even understanding it, but voting nay because police robot bad.
That was apparently going too far, but using autonomous weapons in an international dick-waving contest is somehow okay because the targets are non-citizens on foreign soil.
I don't think the people who were against that robot are the same people who are supporting autonomous killer drones
They're hanging men and women for the wearing of the blue, but I'm not allowed to generalize an entire demographic? How does that work?
The last mob killing of a police officer I can name is when that guy got his skull caved in by Jan 6th rioters, thats the only thing close to "hanging.. for weraing the blue" i can name.
