The armed-machines idea is dependent on humans being able to author stable and predictable software.
As time goes by I’m progressively more convinced we’re not capable of that.
It’s quite possible I only believe that in an effort to comfort myself.
- krageon 8y agoIf you err on the side of extreme violence, I think it is perfectly possible to arm machines with "good" results. If making "mistakes" when targeting things or people horrifies you, then maybe you are correct. I posit that the state does occasionally care more about results than about whether or not they are horrified (obviously not every state is the same, but certainly the superpowers are like this).
