      I remember some kinda skit about sci Fi authors writing about how bad a torture matrix would be ironically inspiring real people to create the torture matrix cause it’s the future.

          It’s happening anyway. We build them. Others build them in response because they have to. The sophistication of killbots will increase. Terrorists will get hold of them eventually. They’ll be hacked and turned on their handlers and/or civilians.

          All this is on top of ever increasing climate catastrophe. Look at Appalachia. The topography of those mountains was just rewritten. Whole towns erased like they were never there.

              My first post was about letting the army fuck around and find out. Let the natural course of events remind them of those scifi movies they forgot about.

                  Thousands at least. The more effective the killbots are the more money our war economy will throw at warbot R&D.

                  This is happening. Nothing on this planet can stop it.

      Well you see, the owners know you won’t die for them anymore, but now they’re able to take you out of the equation. Don’t even need poors to conquer the world. It’s really a great deal for them.

        Roston Bynamics was found to actually be Boston Dynamics with some 100mph tape slapped over the logo.

        I dunno, I’m subscribed to the BD YouTube channel and the very sudden change in facilities and upgrades to bots seems to be a little too in line with this. Like someone definitely caved in my opinion.

    dont worry first they test it where civil lives dont matter and once it passes some basic tests, they will become available for domestic (ab)use

    So if a robot commits a war crime, they can just blame it on AI and call it a day, right? Sounds like an easy way to do whatever the fuck you want.

    Okay, but if it doesn’t say “You have thirty seconds to comply” before shooting someone then what’s the point?

    Is this their way of exterminating civilian populations like the Palestinians without dropping bombs and contributing so significantly to climate change?

    “The US military has been adopting a new climate friendly mindset and approach to international conflict. With this invention we can help our genocidal colonies acquire more land with little to no carbon emissions. We plan to be carbon-neutral by 2050, provided no one retaliates and attacks back.”
