She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men to fight and kill their brothers without thought of Love or God. Ken Hensley

I had an OOBE dream of a rogue AI. Danged nightmare.

Just be grateful it was an OOBE.

‘Machines set loose to slaughter’: the dangerous rise of military AI

by Frank Pasquale Thu 15 Oct 2020 01.00 EDT

Autonomous machines capable of deadly force are increasingly prevalent in modern warfare, despite numerous ethical concerns. Is there anything we can do to halt the advance of the killer robots?

The video is stark. Two menacing men stand next to a white van in a field, holding remote controls. They open the van’s back doors, and the whining sound of quadcopter drones crescendos. They flip a switch, and the drones swarm out like bats from a cave. In a few seconds, we cut to a college classroom. The killer robots flood in through windows and vents. The students scream in terror, trapped inside, as the drones attack with deadly force. The lesson that the film, Slaughterbots, is trying to impart is clear: tiny killer robots are either here or a small technological advance away. Terrorists could easily deploy them. And existing defences are weak or nonexistent

This is a true danger... something new that could conceivably find station anywhere in the sun to recharge, that could indeed be instructed specifically or in swarm, or being specifically instructed, could call forth a swarm.

these little things are far more insidious than something large that can only remain on-target for a while.

They outlawed cluster bombs.

Gonna be a new wave of bannings. I mean it unthinkable to have weapons systems that can kill enmass without oversight. Hindsight is no excuse here.

Right. But I don't think they will... The idea of your pilots sitting in their home town raining hell down on some distant country has a massive attraction. Sure you might lose some hardware, but your soldier cannot be hurt... Imagine when they do the same for boots on the ground. It will be sold as force protection first... and then the automation will take over.

What happens when the enemy figures out where you are in your hometown raining hell, based on hacked IPs and stuff?  The soldier can be hurt, along with his family in Heartland, IA.

Yeah. The Fires of He!! will take you.

That is the entire point here. When tech becomes the enemy.

That's why you airgap the drone's network rather than stream it on the internet.

Is airgap one of those fish out of water things?

That's more likely.... 

But remember, the 'anti' as in 'anti-christ' means 'alternate to'... not necessarily 'against'.

It's the distraction that will get you.
