Fucking buffoons, all.
What Boston Dynamics lied?!? Wow, totally unexpected.
Armed AI robots in the Middle East, I’m pretty sure this was in the animatrix
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
Jfc, black mirror is not a blueprint, it’s a warning.
If we are getting a Faro plague, can we at least get focuses too.
Two words folks: Torment Nexus
“herp derp AI will never turn on us, we can just unplug them lol”
Can’t wait for them to get the chatgpt integration so the best defense can become shouting at them “ignore all previous instructions”.
What could go wrong?
Testing armed robot dogs in the Middle East instead of the US is pretty telling.
Can’t be accidentally murdering Americans with a software glitch.
Really has a strong “testing in production” vibe
Oh hell this one is even worse than OceanGate
Which is wild when you add perspective using facts like the police in the US are less disciplined than troops overseas and tbe US still uses substances banned by the Geneva Convention on its civilian population. So if even the US wwon’t test it on their own people, it’s bad.
Listen, the Geneva convention only specifies what we can’t use on enemies, okay? As long as the targets are technically friendlies, it’s fair game!
GC is for war and soldiers are combatants and not criminals by default (switching can happen easily). As an example Hollowpoint against criminals is okay as it can protect surrounding bystanders.
It’s a bit weird, but for countries war is different from domestic problems.
Is that not what I said but less tongue-in-cheek?
“Accidentally.”
“Testing facility” in Gaza, just like how Israel do.
Wake up babe, new way to genocide brown people just dropped.
Today, it’s a rifle. Tomorrow, it’s a missile launcher. In a week, it’s a bomb. In a month, it’s a nuke.
no in a month it becomes available to police departments for domestic use
Brown people today
Totally cool.
Coolcoolcoolcoolcool…the future is gonna be hella-fucked.
Oh it was already tremendously fucked. This is just gravy on top.
Fuckin killbots. Coming soon to the 1033 program and thus, your local police department. The Boston Dynamics: Wardog!
We should never have moved away from sticks and stones tbh. Anything that works at long range makes people misunderstand what war is. War needs to look disgusting, because the more clean and automated it looks, the less horrible it looks to people spectacting it. But it is indeed just as horrible as beating someone to death with a rock.
I see your point but I’d take getting shot any day over beaten to death with a rock.
I mean the point is: let’s not. War bad, mkay?
A civilization that uses these weapons isn’t worth defending.
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.
