We all know where this is gonna end...

Surveillance drones everywhere.

[-] double_quack@lemm.ee 40 points 4 weeks ago

Surveillance is the "nice" version of it.

I've low-key started to think the only reason we haven't seen autonomous hunter-killer drones yet is that nobody's willing to break the seal, and I'm scared for what happens when somebody finally does.

My dear stranger, those already exist, and have been used in war to terminate key individuals.

We are living the dream.

key individuals

Such as Palestinian children

Point me towards systems that don't have a human in the loop, particularly any that utilize fully-autonomous swarms, and I'll agree. Scary as the former are, there's a world of difference between a handful of FPV suicide drones, and a cloud of HL2-Manhack-esque things operating on face-recogniton-guided autopilot.

Oh, that's what you mean... yeah, there are humans behind, but potato potato, swap one brain for another... anyway it is a killing machine that can get you anywhere in the planet.

The humans are using ai to pick the targets they kill anyway. They theoretically are supposed to parse out the bad targets, but we know from examples listed in the above, that for genocidal states like Israel, that review is intentionally ignored or minimized.

Horizon Zero Dawn looking more eminent any day now.

They are definitely super willing to break the seal, just nobody has built a good target ID system yet that won't fire on civilians.

If you just need everyone in a 10 mile radius dead, you could send in the hunter bots, or you could just shell the area with heavy artillery from three countries away. We already have that problem solved. Once we have a reliable target ID system I guarantee you'll start seeing unmanned equipment in war.

There is no way these things could spread poison instead of pollen is there?
