      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.

                    You keep changing what you’re saying. Either “let it happen,” in which case you are approving of thousands of lives lost so that the army can fuck around and find out or it is happening regardless, in which case, your “let it happen” thing is silly.

                    Also, it can very easily not happen via international law. That’s why there’s not a biological weapons arms race.
