Killer Robots

Fathom

Drones occupy battlefields today. Airborne. Strike targets. Automated warfare exists today. This technology said to be an expanding "continuum." AI weapons development replacing direct human involvement. Should limits be placed on such “lethal autonomous weapons?” Computer scientist Stewart Russell at University of California at Berkeley thinks so. But is it too late? Ask I-Robot? Terminator? Sci Fi leads the way? Ref: http://www.popsci.com/big-idea-killer-robots-are-coming

Campaign to Stop Killer Robots cites a global poll claiming that 61% oppose these bots.

Polls probably reflect fictional Skynet.

I remmend it to you both in that case, it is set in the present era so it is a possible way of the word (Ingo Swann is a trained mind user ESP and such like so you get the idea of his novel )

Swannie I was wondering if you had read the book Star Fire by Ingo Swann? I think you would like it if you have not already read it.

No. Have not read it. Will check it out. Thanks.

Nah

Way too BIG for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems. MEMS.

You can make machines so small they can't use wheels because of frictional effects. You have to make things that bend rather than slide.

Using a fictional story, the author claims that there are several autonomous weapons systems in use today, including one as small as a mosquito for surveillance or poisoning.

Will Trump Disney Bot now claim no collusion with Russia?

something odd about the trend of the thread now, I find it very funny (I have a strangely warped sense of humour the sort that will have me rushing t help a nice person with a broken foot but just fall about laughing if the person is a relative.. but I find that

I can not laugh at all now (I have fallen and hurt my ribs)

A humourous Disney characterisation.

Methinks that the Donald Trump found in The Hall of Presidents at Disneyland speaks and moves more like a bot than the other presidents. Were the designers and programmers having a bit of fun?

Small vocab, strange phrasing of words, repeating sound bites.

And a clear failure to understand how humans work.
