The silly and naive think an international treaty can stop the rise of the machines.

Realists know such a treaty only binds honest nations.

The US must be first, and we must be best.

It’s a more nightmarish version of the battleship and nuke arms races.

Because anyone can do it.

The Geneva Convention does not represent international law. Countries must mutually agree to it for it to apply.

It never occurs to Big Tech types to STOP developing AI though they worry it will kill us or oppress us. Their solution is always more tech or putting them in charge.

Just thinking about an armed drone with a video link and a game controller. That’s not a robot but who doubts that it will evolve to one over time.

Not me.

But treaties and conventions are not the answer. I suggest that AK-47s will be the people’s choice.

Let me guess, Brad and the team from Redmond have the solution for those killer autonomous robots.

Level 4+ automation is still elusive; many of the sensors fail under different WX conditions.

Right now Russia has the lead in land based drones the sort needed to take and hold ground. US may have the lead in air drones, but China?

If a m*slim programs a robot to blow itself up killing infidels, does the robot get 72 virgin robots in robot heaven?

Hmm... What would MS do if the autonomous weapons systems refused the mandatory MS update?

So the old 1950s sci-fi flick “Target Earth” is coming true, except the robots will be from earth instead of Venus?

The latest Win10 massive update/upgrade seems to have killed my tablet.

It took half a day to download and another half to install. Now, it reboots.

When I log in, it goes to the main screen. In a couple of minutes (or less) error messages pop up: fatal error, .net error, cannot continue, collecting information for mandatory reboot.

It has rebooted about 15 times in the last 2 days and still the tablet is unusable.

Killer robots may be unstoppable, but so is killer Windows10 Upgrade, it seems.

I am very surprised we have not seen the rise of killer terror drones and more drone use in civilian use.
