Not sure if sarcastic or sincere. You can damn near predict what will be the future tech 10 years down the line based on what DARPA is doing to make killing more efficient.
- jlebrech 9y agodoes killing the RIGHT people count as efficient?
- angstrom 9y agoThat's just a formality. The implementation is trivial and left to the reader of any good DARPA project as an exercise.
- KekDemaga 9y agoKilling the wrong people isn't DARPA's problem, we have bombs that we can drop out of a plane and down a chimney. Blame the elected officials that ordered the bomb dropped in the first place and the intelligence apparatus that convinced them it was good idea.
- kingraoul3 9y agoAnd the venal election system that put them in charge, and the social order that creates vast power and wealth imbalances.
- dnautics 9y agoHave you actually been to a DARPA kickoff? I guarantee you that 90-95% of the stuff that they are funding will not be broadly useful in 10 years. The stuff that DARPA gets right is building stealth planes and prosthetics, arpa-net was a one-off exception in their history.
