a future where innocent people are murdered by unaccountable fully autonomous flying assassin robots is pretty inevitable now, huh?
It always was. There are no words anyone can say to prevent it from happening. That's the unfortunate nature of arms races: if you boycott one, you lose it. With nukes, they involve things on a scale that can be detected easily, so nuclear nonproliferation has worked, to a degree anyways. But AI stuff isn't detectable like that.
And I remember seeing a video of a high school kid who made an automated paintball turret around 20 years ago. We've had remotely controlled drones for longer than that. Autonomous drones are a thing already.
The technology already exists for that black mirror episode with the killer dog robots. It's just a question of whether all of that has been put together yet (and I'd be very surprised if no one has done it), and today's are probably easier to disable.
Doesn’t China already have a killer dog prototype?
Boss I don't know why no one is buying our killer robot dogs!
How much are you selling them for? Here on Temu the prices are crazy! Still no one is buying! 29.99??? Wow!
28.99? Just give them away! C'mon people buy them! They're almost free! Just come over and click the link below to Temu!
