My expectation: It's about the history, present and future capabilities of "robots"/"automation processes" specifically designed to neutralize enemy targets; one of the optimization being, of course: to kill as many humans as possible.
Alas, it's about the unintended dangers of ever sophisticated and fully automated tool use. Is this satire?
Yeah, something heavy on wheels can roll you over, crush you and kill you.
I'm not trying to dismiss any safety regulation but isn't the big elephant in the room one of the main driver of all technology: military use?
Maybe most people gave up on that and try to focus on things in the civilian sphere that they can potentially impact. A "healthy" compartmentalization of sorts.
But for me the contrast is so stark that the examples mentioned in the article are unintentionally comical and forced, even if the underlying questions valid and transferable to military use.
