The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans - Lemmy.World

* The US is among countries arguing against new laws to regulate AI-controlled killer drones. * The US, China, and others are developing so-called “killer robots.”

But apparently using remotely controlled robots to distract or disable active shooters is going too far because the word “police” is attached to the concept? America is fucked, man.
… dude, the takeaway from the military using killbots shouldn’t be “we should let police use killbots too!”
So quick to jump to extremes. Does your imagination take you only as far as “killbot”?
Well police kill people with every other tool we give them so…
And there we go, thinking meat is off. No critical thought to be found, just parroting what the masses are screeching.
Alex Jones go home

Meanwhile, you just parrot what you hear on Paw Patrol 😂

Cops are not your friends.

Actually, if you’re interested, it comes mostly from Police Activity, Code Blue Cam, and for a while, Donut Operator. Good channels. Police Activity is particularly unbiased and publishes body cam footage without narrative of the good and bad side of law enforcement, including the arrests of LEOs.

I have no delusions about cops being friends. I follow the pot brothers’ advice to shut the fuck up (to the greatest extent my country’s laws allow). But at the same time, persecuting an entire demographic based on their uniform is not only unproductive but dangerous. A person who is immediately confrontational towards cops (e.g. refusing to identify or follow orders while detained, or just being a dick) only invites a greater magnitude of response. It’s like kicking a snarling dog - you’ll get bit.

I certainly agree that cops are like snarling dogs, but that’s no reason to give them killbots! I’m a good girl and meekly do what I’m told when the nice man with the gun and license to kill tells me to obey. I’m not going to fucking censor myself on the god damn Internet, though!

Also? Cops are not being persecuted. That’s a joke.

Watch out guys, we got a lone wolf here

lol

The evidence backs up the screeching, though.
They’ve already blown people up with robots.
The word “police” isn’t used once in the article you rage baiting dork
I was referring to an earlier event where San Francisco police proposed to use remotely operated robots in barricaded suspect situations to disorient or otherwise disable a shooter without putting additional lives at risk. Like putting a stun grenade on an RC car. The proposal was rejected, with one official admitting to not even understanding it, but voting nay because police robot bad.
I don’t think the people who were against that robot are the same people who are supporting autonomous killer drones
They’re hanging men and women for the wearing of the blue, but I’m not allowed to generalize an entire demographic? How does that work?
The last mob killing of a police officer I can name is when that guy got his skull caved in by Jan 6th rioters, thats the only thing close to “hanging… for weraing the blue” i can name.
