Robot Soldiers Are Already Being Deployed
destinyland writes "As a Rutgers philosopher discusses robot war scenarios, one science
magazine counts the ways robots are already being used in warfare,
including YouTube videos of six military robots in action.
There are up to 12,000 'robotic units' on the ground in Iraq, some dismantling landmines and roadside bombs, but
'a new generation of bots are designed to be fighting machines.' One bot can operate an M-16 rifle,
a machine gun, and a rocket launcher — and 250 people have already been killed by unmanned drones in Pakistan.
He also tells the story of a berserk robot explosives gun that killed nine people in South Africa due to a 'software glitch.'"
you are an ass.
I definitely know what that means - but please feel free to continue telling me what I know and acting in a condescending, boorish manner.
It's hard to believe that's how Micronians are made. Why don't we see it right now by having you both kiss one another?
Ah, name calling. I guess that means you've proved your point. Wait, no, it means you gave up once you realized you didn't know what you were talking about.
You start out by being arrogant and insulting, and then claim that it's a mark of inferiority on your opponent's part when he -- after trying for several posts to be reasonable and polite -- finally responds in kind. You may (or may not, of course) know a little something about artifical intelligence, but you're displaying precious little of the organic kind.
The correlation between ignorance of statistics and using "correlation is not causation" as an argument is close to 1.
