scalable, autonomous, small, lack of morals
i.e. can be deployed 100,000 times at once; doesn't need a stable internet connection; can fit into a drone; if civilians are hit, it's only a software-error, not a war-crime.
- serf 3y ago>lack of morals you wouldn't say that about a bullet or a missile -- the morality isn't negated, it's moved up the chain to whoever operates the device. I make this point because I find the thought that drones somehow negate moral responsibility to be wholly irresponsible and destructive, not as a pedantry.
- hnben 3y agoI absolutely agree with you. But in practice, the lack of morals will be a strong incentive. One one hand we have commanders who may want to get away with war crimes, and on the other hand are autocratic regimes, that don't need as many like-minded soldiers to commit large-scale war crimes.
