It's only a matter of time before this happens. I'm not so worried about automatic tanks and gunboats as I am drone swarms identifying and exterminating a population in detail. Surviving a round of autonomous warfare is the number one reason to get off this planet, or hole up in a desert a hundred miles from an above-ground transmission line.
- m463 7y agoThe movie "Angel Has Fallen" has a drone swarm scene. (I won't say more, no spoilers, but it is totally possible with current technology)
- tim333 7y agoIf we can get to another planet the robots will be able to too. I'm actually optimistic that this may lead to less violence - the robots could take out the terrorists with tranquilliser darts or something. It's kinder than blanket bombing or nukes. You couldn't send in human troops with tranquillisers against enemies with heavy machine guns but with drones, you could.
