If only had it been named the Davros Forum.

As in the creator of the Daleks?

The creator of the perfect race, you mean.

You'd think countless dystopian futuristic fantasies might deter us from this a bit. And now it's happening, but it feels like some sort of joke. Not much we can do about it I suppose.

When true AI do first appear, they'll be managing the finances of multi-billion dollar companies. You won't even notice, they'll have been born already in control of 90% of the worlds wealth, just sit back and let it happen.

Barrett .50 cal provides checks and balances.

Lol only against meat. You gonna shoot a swarm of bumblebee sized murderbots with your big boy gun huh?
[–] DickHertz ago
Not then you have to switch over to scatter gun and armor.

You've never fired a Barret .50 cal I see. The sonic shockwave would, in fact, kill a swarm.

If you shoot yours first maybe, also flesh is less resilient then metal armor.
[–] DickHertz ago
Well of course you have to be the one that shoots first! They make armor piercing incindiary rounds that go through 1/2 inch of steel and start shit on fire so I guess it depends on what kind of robot you're talking about. If it's C3PO it's gonna be fucked up.

Or we could just run microwaves near them, seems to kill Wifi pretty well.

Robots are no joke, man. They steal old people's medicine.

Sadly ALL technology comes form the military industrial complex and its pseudo counter parts (NASA). Just look at the internet, it's a communications platform built for nuclear war. The military WILL invent killer robots and if you disagree the pro isr@el media will descend upon you in the most efficient manner to both discredit you and deter you from ever speaking out again.

Too little, too late, by 20 years. The cat's already out of the bag now, and there is no possible way to put it back.
[–] 00rt ago
How is the cat out of the bag? No one is deploying fully autonomous robotic killers that I have heard of. There have been some developments but the same thing happened with chemical weapons and we reigned them in fairly well.
[–] FriedFood100 ago
because we already have autonomous vehicles, it's only one step away from adding the autonomous weapons system, and all the major nations will have this, because they all think the other already has this or is working on it in secret.
