What could possibly go wrong?

Just don't stand in front of any natural resources.

South America probably wishing they didn't discover lithium by this point

The future in Terminator is set in the year 2029. The movies just missed the mark by a few decades so we can expect the machine uprising in 2029 and the future hellscape ruled by machines is 2049.

The Nebuchadnezzar was commissioned in 2069 in The Matrix series.

Militaries depend on poverty for labor. Recruiters don't prowl around private schools in rich neighbourhoods. They focus on poor neighbourhoods. The problem is that once general AI is achieved, and the majority of the human population become unemployable, it's gonna be hard to have people just straight mass murder the masses and cull the human population down to what is sustainable long term... That's where the AI killbots come in!

Not only that, but imagine the harm that can be done if killer drone swarms get into the hands of bad people, such as terrorists.

That's the entire premise behind the US and Israel hacking Iran's nuclear plants (remember Stuxnet?), they don't want Jihadists to get access to devastating weapons because they will use them against the US too, any chance they get.

I have active interest in open source versions of this kind of thing.

This journalism is as shitty as most software is at AI

Cut the mesh part out of the door on your microwave. Your TV meal warmer is the governments biggest enemy.

Your corneas will be having a word with you, and quickly.

I like when microwave give me warm brain hug

It'd certainly explain some gun control comments.

Drone flies up over Kherson Oblast. It asks you to pronounce паляниця.

You best not stutter

You have your ai voice generator say it, pronounced perfect

Military technology eventually ends up being used by law enforcement eventually. The ethical questions removed from human choice raises so many possibilities of crimes against humanity in war. What could be done when its used on it's own people?

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

then why do we need generals?

[-] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Command and control? What's that?
