Army Testing Robot Dogs Armed with Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Rifles in Middle East
Army Testing Robot Dogs Armed with Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Rifles in Middle East
The Army was testing at least one armed quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicle at an installation in Saudi Arabia.
Testing armed robot dogs in the Middle East instead of the US is pretty telling.
Can't be accidentally murdering Americans with a software glitch.
Really has a strong "testing in production" vibe
Which is wild when you add perspective using facts like the police in the US are less disciplined than troops overseas and tbe US still uses substances banned by the Geneva Convention on its civilian population. So if even the US wwon't test it on their own people, it's bad.
"Accidentally."
"Testing facility" in Gaza, just like how Israel do.
Wake up babe, new way to genocide brown people just dropped.
Brown people today
Today, it's a rifle. Tomorrow, it's a missile launcher. In a week, it's a bomb. In a month, it's a nuke.
no in a month it becomes available to police departments for domestic use
Totally cool.
Coolcoolcoolcoolcool....the future is gonna be hella-fucked.
Oh it was already tremendously fucked. This is just gravy on top.
Fuckin killbots. Coming soon to the 1033 program and thus, your local police department. The Boston Dynamics: Wardog!
We should never have moved away from sticks and stones tbh. Anything that works at long range makes people misunderstand what war is. War needs to look disgusting, because the more clean and automated it looks, the less horrible it looks to people spectacting it. But it is indeed just as horrible as beating someone to death with a rock.
Has the Army watched like... any sci-fi ever?
I remember some kinda skit about sci Fi authors writing about how bad a torture matrix would be ironically inspiring real people to create the torture matrix cause it's the future.
The Torment Nexus.
What Boston Dynamics lied?!? Wow, totally unexpected.
Not Boston Dynamics, but a copy cat robotics company.
Roston Bynamics was found to actually be Boston Dynamics with some 100mph tape slapped over the logo.
I dunno, I'm subscribed to the BD YouTube channel and the very sudden change in facilities and upgrades to bots seems to be a little too in line with this. Like someone definitely caved in my opinion.
A civilization that uses these weapons isn’t worth defending.
Armed AI robots in the Middle East, I'm pretty sure this was in the animatrix
Without reading the article can I take a wild guess and say this is from "we promise never to make weaponized robots" Boston Dynamics?
A promise from a corporation is just a lie by another name.
Ghost Robotic. Boston Dynamic aren't the only one making robot dog though, China already have a couple of copy cat(dog)
Glad to be wrong! Although we still have armed robots so maybe not too glad lol
Alternative facts
dont worry first they test it where civil lives dont matter and once it passes some basic tests, they will become available for domestic (ab)use
Jfc, black mirror is not a blueprint, it’s a warning.
"herp derp AI will never turn on us, we can just unplug them lol"
Fucking buffoons, all.
So if a robot commits a war crime, they can just blame it on AI and call it a day, right? Sounds like an easy way to do whatever the fuck you want.
Okay, but if it doesn't say "You have thirty seconds to comply" before shooting someone then what's the point?
Is this their way of exterminating civilian populations like the Palestinians without dropping bombs and contributing so significantly to climate change?
"The US military has been adopting a new climate friendly mindset and approach to international conflict. With this invention we can help our genocidal colonies acquire more land with little to no carbon emissions. We plan to be carbon-neutral by 2050, provided no one retaliates and attacks back."
✅ Autonomous weaponry
✅ Autonomous biofuel harvesting
❓ Polyphasic Entangled Waveforms
Where’s Elisabet Sobeck when you need her?
Two words folks: Torment Nexus
What could go wrong?
Not that it matters, but didn't the UN already ban lethal autonomous robots?
Can't wait for them to get the chatgpt integration so the best defense can become shouting at them "ignore all previous instructions".
They should name the dogs "Terror Nexus"
If we are getting a Faro plague, can we at least get focuses too.
FFS...
Ukraine has already been using them probably with the help from the US.
Bad dog.
Like an ED-209 situation?
Google "How to build my own HERF gun".
