A HG Wellsian nightmare of SlaughterbotssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #war • 7 years ago (edited)

One of my friends posted a video in his timeline with a cryptic message. Curiousity killed the cat they say.

Before you read the rest of my post I would recommend watching the video to not spoil your own reaction.

It looked like a TED talk event until they showed footage of the bots in action. It was a truly H.G. Wells moment for me as it was when people panicked hearing the War of the Worlds radio show.

This could really happen in our lifetime. The advancement of smart weapons that it's AI will be able to recognize a potential threat.

I like how it was shown that it could target anyone that it's programming has identified as being an enemy of the state.

Speaking of which how are they identified. As with any AI their algorithms and programming is set up by a few people who are almost always not able to divulge how.

The ending gave me chills as any Steemit post Reddit, blog entry, Facebook or petition you electronically signed might be used against you.

This is how you start Skynet... This is chilling me. I know that this is just a production and yet it tugged a fear in my heart.

          kakatakot naman yan. The scary part about it is that the technology to create those things is already here. Hmm kailangan ng mag stockpile ng EMP weapons to counter those.
