Every day skynet withers closer to existence.

The lethal autonomous weapons systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the munition: in effect, a true ‘fire, forget and find’ capability.

Oh bs
lol

cool tech: exists

military, about to ruin it for everyone: 👀

You know I find it funny the idea that since so much time has been deleted that real ai might have been perfected further and Elon musks warning that this should be regulated As to who can write true ai apps implementing the tech has been heeded

Human ...

Honestly I'm way more concerned about the other alternative - that they will actually work perfectly for the ruling class as intended.

I tried to tell @NickyBones to quit the whole drone thing while she was ahead, but she just wouldn't listen. Now look where we are.

I actually did a paper on this a couple of years ago. This is not all that new, but they are polishing the systems a lot. They operate the same way hives of bees or ants do, by utilizing emergence that is.

Individual drones receive only very simple behavioral rules and operate autonomously, however the set of rules creates a behavior for the swarm, so that seemingly intelligent behavior occurs. Similar how e.g. ants are using pheromone markers to guide behavior and the marking itself is guided behavior too.

Went to a symposium organized by the ministry of defense. Learned some crazy stuff there. Basically they can shoot a target as small as an apple from hundreds of meters away while mid flight. And that wasn't some future crap, that is what they were at 4-5 years ago.

In the end the prof wanted to keep authorship and publish while not having written a single line. I wasn't interested in a doctorate and claimed authorship and so the paper was graded, but not published.

you know i find myself thinking if you were the cia would you put your people on a map ?

Or would you perhaps put people nearby posing as something else to look for people who are interested in them for some reason.

this however is fucking scary.
its like a kgb pedigree center or the hitler youth lol
or some chomos rape center, which btw this particular page was pointed out to me after our gov started going extra fucking queer as a point of laughter so.. oh yay.

betcha anything it was 1977 with the mass firing of 800 employees that signaled the beginning of the end for the cia actually fulfilling its fucking purpose.

or it was bush sr.

@theKarlisK You wish. I actually don't work with drones anymore; just... not into them anymore. And I'm hoping my phd goes toward kitchen and cooking robots, maybe some humanoid assistant as well. So count me out on this, except no computer does what it was not told, so this is partially fake news. A more accurate title would be "bugged drone kills human, because developers didn't have access to all usage scenarios". 😛

On a side note, it is very easy to take out drone attacks. Just a strong enough EMP can do the job, even if you don't have a good/automatic defense system. iirc these drones have to fly higher than the city limits, so they're very easy to target. Ofc, not every country is rich enough to have such systems.

Well time to build an EMP...

@johnmelodyme gotta throw your emp in the middle of the swarm tho. Lol. Or maybe target the queen/leader, if their formation has one. (Look up formation control, if you're interested)
