There were two red lines, as I understand it -- first, automated kill bots, and second, mass surveillance.

There were two red lines, as I understand it -- first, automated kill bots, and second, mass surveillance.
- Gigachad 8mo agoI guess the problem for Trump is if he orders the army to gun down protesters, there’s a good chance they will refuse to do it. While a bot can just be prompted to go ahead.
- nazgul17 8mo agoThis one here is the future I am most scared of.
- delaminator 8mo ago[flagged]
- RGamma 8mo agoCrazy to think how Deus Ex: Human revolution might have gotten the timeline right. Except there's no human augmentation and there won't be citizen fighting four-legged robot police in 2027 Detroit with molotov cocktails: they'll only hear a disconcerting buzz coming at them with ludicrous speed before eternal darkness.
- GeorgeWBasic 8mo agoWhat do you think ICE is for?
- goatlover 8mo agoNeither of those red lines should be controversial. What American citizen thinks terminators and Big Brother are desirable?
- dboreham 8mo agoCitizen 1?
- SonOfKyuss 8mo agoThe ones that still assume big brother will be spying on and killing the people they hate. Trump openly campaigned on getting revenge on his enemies. I can only assume his supporters want this. The danger of course is if/when the leopards eat their faces
- ks2048 8mo agoMAGA (as long as the terminators are pointed towards the other side)
- mediaman 8mo agoMass domestic surveillance of American citizens (they were OK with surveillance of other countries).
- ted_dunning 8mo agoNo. There was only one red line. Bend over and take or not.
