The use of drones capable of deciding whether to kill humans is alarming critics.
  • 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.”

    So quick to jump to extremes. Does your imagination take you only as far as “killbot”?

        And there we go, thinking meat is off. No critical thought to be found, just parroting what the masses are screeching.

            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.
