Is that a good or a bad thing?
- ryanisnan 7mo agoAre you serious? When you lower the cost of killing, nobody wins.

- neoromantique 7mo agoYou don't lower the cost of killing by improved targeting, you lower it by thugs shooting people in broad daylight with no consequences. I understand the argument that moving the decision making power to a black box would clear conscience of the operator, yadda yadda yadda, but newsflash, price of human life is falling so quick, that I think we're far beyond the point where it matters.
- Insanity 7mo agoLess severe than killing, you’re essentially describing the “broken windows” theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory
- hedora 7mo agoIt usually boils down to who controls the technology, not the absolute cost. Centralized AI killbots with no safety controls are almost certainly bad. Individually owned and controlled militias of defensive (and decentralized) AI killbots? Unclear.
- NoGravitas 7mo agoThe film 'Slaughterbots' presents a scenario which could be either of those, but is implied to be the latter.
- hedora 7mo agoYes, but 'Murderbot' makes it clear which alternative is preferable, and also introduces the excellent Sanctuary Moon.
- IncreasePosts 7mo agoNo, I'm not kidding. Some people need to be killed. Look at all the "collateral damage" when America kills people that need to be killed. Could AI help let us kill the people who need a killing, without killing the people who shouldn't be killed?
