For extra chaos, control the drone with a smart contract where people vote on who to kill. The person with the most votes gets offed, and then it continues down the list of targets until it reaches a threshold where we no longer consider this "aggregated, anonymous data" (Big Tech usually uses 50 data points or so).
The interesting thing about this is that nobody pulls the trigger. You don't get killed because somebody wants you dead; you get killed because lots of people want you dead. And then everybody is hidden in the mob, and not really responsible for your death; after all, if 49 other people didn't also want you dead, you'd still be alive.
If studies on diffusion of responsibility (eg. Kitty Genovese) are true, then it's likely people will be pretty free with their nominations, knowing that the person won't actually end up dead unless lots of other people also nominate them. Mass carnage is likely to result.
- perilunar 5y agoThat's pretty much the plot of the Black Mirror episode "Hated in the Nation" [1], except instead of smart contracts it was Twitter hashtags (and there was a nasty payback). 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hated_in_the_Nation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hated_in_the_Nation
