ted.com/talks/daniel_suarez_the_kill_decision_shouldn_t_belong_to_a_robot.html Here was Suarez at a recent ted talk mentioning robotic control of lethal weapons. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/02/like-a-swarm-of-lethal-bugs-the-most-terrifying-drone-video-yet/273270/ http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/02/like-a... Here is a nice video of Drone insects with lethal kill abilities. I know some people at the pentagon, USAF, etc, am on a base now. These people really do have good intentions and are trying to do good things I believe. However as Snowden just said in some interview, part of his "job" was to find and document infrastructure weaknesses that could be targeted in a Stuxnet kind of way. All governments certainly have all this data stored, best way to use cyberattacks to take down a foreign government, etc etc
So think about the future, where the AI's take over, and these NSA types all over the planet who were just trying to serve thier citizens and thier governments have all the best ways to destroy mankind and his infrastructure and other systems stored all over the place, what made sense for various goverments/technologies controlled by human beings and thier citizens, in the flick of a switch literally becomes total madness in a world where a cyber AI can go through these systems and use them against mankind collectively.
it would just be too tempting for the AI not to use it to control or eliminate us. Folks like Rheingold and annissimov are very worried about this future and stress trying to make sure these future AI's are very benevolent and compassionate. LOL! It is for this reason we should have far more transparency and international agreements to limit this kind of stuff, not to give one nation state and edge over the other, but to prevent a higher intelligence from using all the nation states data/technology against all of mankind. I don't think we stop what is coming in another hundred years or 2. LOL!
