#13The robots’ controllers aren’t under any threat at any time.

#14Imagine a terrorist cell, which has no leader, no members, no financiers but is able to attack anyway. A DAO hires gig workers to assemble a "product" in a property which it has rented, the product is then programed by the DAO to attack the city it resides in. The DAO having speculated on shares of competitors of companies within the city, moves ever onwards. Terrorism as a software glider gun. Its a major theme in m…
Exponential is usually an adjective applied to processes and progressions. I'm having a hard time parsing the phrase "exponential tech advance". What do you mean?

#15As long as it's remotely controlled, it's not a bad idea. Why should policemen risk their lives when confronting dangerous criminals? I see two potential problems though: 1) security, 2) sooner or later - in 20 or 50 years - someone will have the brilliant idea of making one of those "autonomous". This would be the beginning of a long nightmare.
Given the history of IoT botnets, the remote control aspect is exactly why this is a bad idea. Cops are not more technologically savvy than the average person. There's no way to tell at a glance if a death robot is controlled by good guys or bad guys. You just see a shotgun on tank treads rolling through the school hallway.

There's crazy level's of PTSD in drone operators.
There's a really bleak movie called good kill that captures this in a military context.
And here's the real life version. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/former-drone-ope...
Anyway, this sounds like a very terrible idea.

Policing is already far too impersonal and cold, giving someone who is completely detached a remote-control gun is very high on the list of bad ideas.

The worst mass shooting in history was made by a guy dressed up as a cop, there is no way to tell if anyone is a good guy before they start shooting.

They might get to hear some rather choice language: that alone could be considered stressful.
Let alone what they can see (depending on where they choose to point the camera(s)).
So, the threat of a better ptsd-related pension can always be considered real.
/s just for shiggles; i do appreciate even remote situations may be incredibly stressful - ask a drone pilot/ bomb okay-er or two. Dunno about cops.
