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.

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.
