So we are giving freeway to AI to kill humans now? Came faster than expected. Next step, Boston Dynamics is allowed to regularte crime in the streets of Detroit…
Israel is using artificial intelligence to help pick bombing targets in Gaza, report says
It came a while back. It just took some time to get it working in a fighter jet, apparently. They had to start with terrifying doggy killbots first.
The fucked up thing is that the Black Mirror episode came out after they did, and was less-scary than real life.

Didn’t that robot dog that one of the PDs in the US tested got destroyed within weeks?
I’m pretty sure this was the plot of the movie Stealth (2005) starring Josh Lucas, Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel.
It was. Really bad movie but fun.
This was a plot of a lot of movies. And TV shows. Most famously, The Terminator (1980).
But that movie was really bad, lol. I remember renting it from blockbuster one weekend when I was really stoned and they were out of the movie I wanted to see. God, I really don’t miss blockbuster video.
And the anime sentou yousei yukikaze before it
It was also the plot of the Terminator series of films. Well, except for the detail that the AI controlling the aircraft (called “Skynet”) became “self aware” and that is what caused it to launch all the nukes to kill all the humans.
So how it differ from Terminator’s “Skynet” is that these real life AI are being controlled by genocidal maniacs (the largest concentration of whom seem to live in the US and Israel at present) and they are setting these things to “auto-kill” mode, like what happened in Gaza recently. And the genocidal maniacs gleefully ignore international law, saying “you want to stop me, you and what army?” So who is to keep them from turning the robots against you and me?
Skynet was controlling more than just an airplane…
According to the story told by Schwarzenneger’s character in part 2, Skynet started out controlling only in US Air Force drones (hence the name), and was soon after connected to everything else. Eventually human decision making was removed from the control of the system.
Horizon zero dawn can’t come soon enough if you ask me
The Firefly soundtrack says “they can’t take the sky from me”… now I’m thinking maybe they can. :)
Pilots are expensive and fragile, so we made this mad murder machine to safely rain hellfire on a budget… bonus: non-stop terror as sleep and potty breaks are no longer required!
