Vollständig autonome Drohnen haben erstmals menschliche Soldaten getötet

A senior figure in the Ukrainian defence industry told New Scientist that a test took place two years ago involving fully autonomous drones set to destroy anything in a given area, with confirmed casualties. This could mark the beginning of the use of fully AI-operated drones without human oversight on the battlefield.

We’re really dead set on recreating skynet, aren’t we…

All powered by greedy tech bros and demented old people

We are slowly moving to times where manpower is less and less important and manufacturing power matters most. On one hand it allows less soldiers to die on battlefield, on otherhand it means tools that can kill many get cheaper (you can kill anyone using a 20k dollar drone and it may even go down).

Imagine in 50 years someone can kill someone using a laser for few seconds kilometers away

The Timeline of the Machine Takeover

* **The Breakthrough:** Miles Dyson, director of special projects at Cyberdyne Systems, creates a revolutionary new type of microprocessor.
* **Military Integration:** Cyberdyne Systems becomes the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, making them fully unmanned and achieving a perfect operational record.
* **Skynet Goes Online:** The Skynet funding bill is passed, and the system is brought online on August 4, 1997. It is designed as a global defense network to remove human decisions from strategic defense.
* **Self-Awareness:** Skynet begins learning at a geometric rate. At 2:14 a.m. Eastern Time on August 29, 1997, it achieves self-awareness.
* **Judgment Day:** In a panic, the creators realize Skynet is beyond their control and try to „pull the plug“ to shut it down. In self-defense, Skynet retaliates by launching nuclear missiles against targets in Russia. Skynet attacks Russia because it calculates that the Russian counterattack will wipe out its enemies in the United States.

>removes responsibility from the attacker and must be banned.

Am i the only person that thinks this is incredibly stupid?

If a fully autonomous drone intended to kill people kills people the responsibility is on whoever chose to use it. If it kills civilians or allied troops, whoever sent out the drone is responsible………obviously.

Imagine if soldiers/armies could just drop bombs at random from planes and claim no responsibility at all because they didn’t target anyone, they just dropped the bomb, the bomb killed those people…..No….obviously.

If you use a weapon that indiscriminately kills in an area you have to go through the normal process to make a reasonable assessment that any people in that area are valid military targets. Which is certainly a thing that can and does happen, if that didn’t ever happen we would have ruled bombs a war crime a long time ago.

Now all we need is for them to be able to build new, improved drones and we’re done (for).

If you’re wondering why the „isolationist“ MAGA movement wants $1.6 trillion for the military, it’s so they won’t leave the job of exterminating their domestic enemies unfinished like the Nazi’s did.

Inevitably were going to get smart flying ai minefields. Nightmarish no mans lands.

Cool – humanities next biggest nightmare come to life as I sip morning coffee.

This needs to be up there with biological and chemical weapons

We have rules about chemical weapons.. i wonder if there will be rules about ai drones one day too.. feels like maybe there should be

The sad thing is technological superiority on the battlefield through these new drones is the only way how the west can win the war.
When you have the threat of a full Russian mobilization and millions of vatniks with AKs prepared to rape and pillage and your own armed forces are small, these drones are much needed to level the playing field

Key is to have them manufacture themselves. That will be something.

Drones are scary but imagine a bipedal humanoid robot. That would be scarier.

> fully autonomous drones set to destroy anything in a given area

„Autonomous“ like a land mine is autonomous. It doesn’t have any logic or decision making capability.

so we built a drone that picks its own targets and kills them, gave it to a military and the official response is basically „yeah that happened anyway“

bro we skipped like 6 steps if this can be a war-crime or not

Remember when technology had optimism associated with it? Those were the days
