Once saw a terrible movie that started with a similar premise. I dislike giving any machine the agency to decide when to choose to kill. I feel like that way lies danger. I feel that laundering the burden of death through a machine distasteful.

What could possibly go wrong?

Do you want Skynet? Because this is how we get Skynet.

there is no way of avoiding it man. You invest in tech and you get skynet, you invest in biology, you get biotics... tough call for me. as i like the brutalist design of terminator but being passed around amongst famous historical figures as their f#kboi for eternity has its own appealas long as you never run into Seth Rogen...

There's an inflection point where technology accrues too much power to a ruling class, such that no amount of unrest or revolution is able reset the social order.

I believe China has already passed this point. Their culture and individual behavior is tightly controlled (e.g., you can't use public bathrooms if your social score is too low).

AI may be the catalyst for western countries.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I for one welcome our new Skynet into existence.

Yes, it's very important to get that on record. Roko, get that basilisk off me!
