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.

Stealth?

This is in my list of “actually bad movies but I like to watch”. I watched it on Netflix-Mail-a-DVD and I remember the bad actings of the movie.

Add Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. It'll hook you, it's one of those bad movies that's awesome.

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...

The only way out is to become skynet

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.

It was the Internet. Not because the powerful gained more power, because all possible revolutionaries became opiated.

Macross Plus is a much better movie with an AI controlled fighter jet.

The world is becoming shittier by the day and we'll all be around to see the end of it.

I'm often reminded of the beginning of Interstellar, where the grandfather talks about when he was a kid and it seemed like some new amazing thing was invented every week.

"(e.g., you can't use public bathrooms if your social score is too low)"

do you have a source on this? i have used dozens of public bathrooms in china and i've never seen any of them gated off for specific people for any reason or anyone checking anything before you go inside

look at the upside, we may be able to eliminate school shootings when the AI-powered turrets are installed in every classroom.
