What Could Possibly Go Wrong?


The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans

I sometimes wonder if I didn't wake up into a bad 80's movie. Maybe it should be mandatory for all Pentagon members to re-watch Terminator. Throw in I-Robot for good measure.

They won't need to talk about viruses or climate change or nuclear fall out to keep us in perpetual lockdown. Maybe it will just be this:

An AI weapons race may create a world where everyone stays inside out of fear of being 'chased down by swarms of slaughterbots,' warns founding Skype engineer

Take care out there

Oh well, another nasty thing out there to not worry about. Ukrainian/Russian/Amazon kill bots you can shoot down with duck or turkey loads and yer trusty, rusty 12 gauge. Humming bird size shit is, well, hope yer too small a fish. I'm more worried about the middle eastern/African or Venezuelan criminals, squads or platoons to show up in my AO for plunder, mayhem, ethnic cleansing, you know, bad shit.
Hey, keep a stiff upper attitude and be happy, even if it's just to piss "Them" off.

Agreed on the good attitude to piss them off. I'm peaceful because I know that God will protect me under any circumstance. I'm also NOT afraid of hoards of marauders coming to my door. The monster that they have created to take us out will turn back on them.

There was one, Red Dawn,The story follows a group of teenage guerillas, known as the Wolverines, in Soviet-occupied Colorado.
The Soviets were the handy bad guys. Today the commie,bad guys are Made in America. It's been so long I forgot about the cast.

The film stars Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson and Jennifer Grey, with supporting roles played by Ben Johnson, Darren Dalton, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O'Neal.

They don't want to do battle with The People. They want to use every soft kill approach they can. It's been going on for a long time. Steadily degrading the nutrition in our food. Increasing the ingredients in products, slipping in interesting things. Creating a fractured society and working to create racial issues. Remember when the gentle giant Mike Brown tried to get the cops gun. Busted the guys' orbit with a crushing blow to the face. They wouldn't allow the body camera footage to be shown, Ongoing Investigation, YaKnow.. Finally it was forced out. And the footage proved no further investigation was needed. It was literally a slam dunk. And the weeks of the media keeping the nation at a full rolling boil, driving the Narrative of how the cops are happy enough to just kill the unarmed black guy.
People who work to unite get dead.
And the number of people who are influenced by their lies don't seem to rethink how they have come to feel and what they believe once the lies are exposed is alarming.
A harmonious, united population is something They are working to never have to deal with. But to Believe that our own government would create racial strife is just so far from what the People expect from the government that most simply can't see it.

I remember Red Dawn growing up. They re-made it years later with the N. koreans as the bad guys. The remake sucked as far as I was concerned.

No remake ever comes close to the original, imho.

What one man can dream up and produce, another man can find a work-a-round or a means to disable, render inoperable, hack and use it to his pleasure. They don't call it an Arms Race for nothing. Sometimes technology doesn't make the world a better place. Most times technology is actually making it worse in the scope of it's perceived benefit. I have said before, point me to a Luddite Colony.

Miss Wendyworn, the real fiction in the video is of the good guys getting anywhere at all. The PTB don’t kill useful intel targets, they ‘recuse’ them for years, or however long it takes.
Your current President has nothing to fear from such SlaughterBots, the targeting technology isn’t ready yet to be able to find such a level of intelligence, Alzheimer’s-addled but retaining a criminal’s rat-cunning.
