This Tuesday, while America was obsessively watching the latest bizarre twists in Trump’s Iran debacle, Whiskey Pete’s Pentagon rolled out a $1.5 trillion budget request that contained a line item almost nobody’s talking about: a 24,000 percent increase, from $225 million last year to $54.6 billion this year, for an outfit called the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group.
That’s the largest year-over-year jump for any program in the entire defense budget, and it’s earmarked to build out AI-driven autonomous human-killing systems inside the Special Operations Command headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida.
Well, that sucks, i don’t have force fields or have been special trained like Paul
We’ll all just stand very still in the dark and hope a maid walks in first I guess.
What’s up with DAWG?
One can only hope, that with the obvious cash gift from the Trump admin, or rather the taxpayers, to the under performing AI companies, they execute their plans with the same amount of dipshit ineptitude that is hallmark of the Trump name.
We knew it would came to this.
Asimov and Terminator tried to warn us, but we didnt listen.
It’s not that we didn’t listen… It’s that there’s just too many people that see every warning as a suggestion.
Sometimes I wonder if those smart, imaginative people had just simply kept their horrifying hypotheticals to themselves, would those dumb enough to try to make one have actually thought of the idea?
And then I wonder how many smart, imaginative people have done exactly that with even worse ideas that I just don’t know about.
Ah, yes! The good ol 1984…
In one of Tropico games you could unlock a certain tech and you would always have one killer drone hunting and killing whatever citizen your approval was lowest with…
Yeah it’ll probably happen
It never was, if you ignore the robot part.
Even the robot part, what were drone strikes if not robots.
They’ll just look crappier and kill more random people.
Yup, Ukraine has been found to train and provide drone operators to Islamist radicals in Mali
Trump, republicans, bla bla…
What’s worse than the drone assassinations from any of the USSA’s 2 scummy mass murdering parties?
