  1. You can easily shield them in a bunker. Also, you pop a nuke and then Russia will pop 7000 nukes - 100 on every major western city.

  2. Nobody is asking for a ban. They want rules. Rules on design (e.g. no launch and forget assassin drones), production (e.g. disallowing corporations to stockpile private armies) and use (e.g. you may only use them once you have been invaded by a substantial enemy force and sustained x amount of damage).

  3. Nope. Armenia lost all their AA without a single kill to drones. That is how they lost the war.

  4. Would you nuke your own city to stop a drone attack?

  5. By definition all AI are trained by humans. We conceptualize them, choose the data and training criteria. Morally, anything we can do they can do.

  6. You post is lost on most people. But it is spot on!

  7. Yup. In the 90's after the Berlin Wall fell it looked like we were in for a war free world. Instead, the US, China and Russia just retooled and got ready for the next round.

  8. It is the wrong term. It should be "Launch and Forget" as autonomous systems can identify targets, lock onto them and decide when to fire. All you have to do is decide how many to launch and where.

  9. No. AGI is not possible - the technology does not exist in any form. What is possible is that humans using narrow AI f up the World with machines becoming intelligent.

  10. Exactly what anyone not US, Russian or Chinese should be thinking.

  11. War crimes are a convenient fiction. Watch the film "A Judgement at Nuremburg" to see why.

  12. They used AI to make the vaccines. Initial proposals are AI driven.

  13. Matrix 2 and Matrix 3.

  14. Since WW1 major wars have largely been 'out of control' already. You are right of course, that takes it up another notch.

  15. US Airforce drones use max stealth technology. They look like small B2 bombers. Small things have very limited range.

  16. So slow. Probably the Air Force by 2030. Probably the Conventional Army by 2040.

  17. In WW2 nuclear weapons were used to secure a 'diplomatic advantage' over Japan.

  18. In a nutshell - US military companies soak up all excess taxpayer money and invest it into these systems. A full 50% of the population actively and vocally supports this (GOP) and the other 50% support it silently (Democrats). China and Russia not much different. This is how the Cold War happened, ditto for WW2, WW1 and all the wars before.

  19. It depends. If your hostile neighbor is the one doing the developing - the sill 100% never launch a nuke at your on a 1st strike basis - because the rest of the World will retaliate. On the other hand, if they invade you with these things only nobody cares - see Armenia/Azerbaijan.

  20. They never said that.

  21. They did. For like 15+ years. The adapted and laid low until the cost was prohibitive.

  22. Really? 150k views? Cat videos get 15m views and gangster music videos get 150m views.

  23. They are corrupt because they are in the pay of corporations. The biggest payers of campaign donations are military companies. The biggest supporter of unnecessary war - Tony Blair - just got bust with billions in secrets funds with no obvious source for them.

  24. There is no such thing as an EMP. A nuclear blast creates an EMP but now you are shooting flies with a cannon. You will have to wipe out your own city to stop the attack. Shielding electronics is not hard to do.

  25. Did your rocks travel 7000km below radar, then loiter for 4 hours till it spots a specific vehicle and then launch a JDAM at a specific man, before returning to base for refueling?

  26. Naïve. After your bot army is wiped out you will be wiped out - probably through an engineered civil war.

  27. Their range is low. So you will deploy into an area - say a 10km x 10km geofence. Within that zone there will be false positive and false negatives. It will be messy when they take out your kid sister because she was holding a long pole like object.
