Well I'll certain admit there's potential for some person or group of actors using a swarm of autonomous or semi autonomous drones for an attack like shown in the video there's a number of real serious problems with trying to control that many drones in the ways they're depicted.
First off the larger carrier drones themselves didn't look to be much bigger than an off the shelf quadro or multicopter drone. That's not a lot of space or weight for the kind of pretty significant computer power you would need to coordination and fly that drone swarm towards a target. The system depicted seem to suggest that the terrorist running it were able to launch the device at some significant distance. And I'd also notice that the carrier drone seemed to explode once it got near the target to cut a hole in the roof to let the smaller drones in so that kind of negates the idea of some sort of mesh network to distribute the needed processing power. And as for the mini drones themselves, well you have some of the same technological limitations, but even worse. Especially with the idea that they're going to be lock onto a target and kill it with a precise shot to the head. Not to mention keeping these drones coordinated enough to not end up having multiple drones accidentally all trying to take the same target.
Not sure yet. For some crazy reasons no one want's to make that data easily searchable. But so far most MSM sources say that Obama dropped about twice as much ordnance as Bush. But that's mostly because he focused more on air strike sand less on occupation with ground forces as Bush did.
While obviously big players in AI would be able to help develop military AI way faster than without them the hard reality is that this technology already in the wild. And as long as there's a federal government there's going to be corporations mercenary enough to peruse this technology. And this doesn't even take into account the programs of other nation's militaries.
Of course you might have some motion on international agreements on the use of military AI. But much like nuclear weapons there's no feasible way to truly put the proverbial genie back in the bottle. And that's even before we start talking about the idea of rouge actors. That 'SlaughterBot' video that Elon Musk helped fund was overly hyperbolic bullshit. But that doesn't mean they'll never be a group that doesn't come up with autonomous weapons.
You do realize that the Obama administration used drones about 10 times as much as Bush did, right? No side of the political isle gives a damn about how this tech gets used.

Heh, your just getting more entertaining the longer I watch you melt down. You've devolved into some incoherent rant about Jewish Nazis, self-hating immigrants, and repeated homophobic slurs. Let's see here, so far you've used the term 'faggot' no less than 14 times in this thread. I'm not psychologist but that really sounds like you're projecting something your ashamed of.
Why not just calm down and accept it son. There's no reason to be upset, it's 2018 and it's perfectly okay to be gay. it could be worse, you could have had my life. So far I've had to commit not one but two legally justified self dense shootings. Hell, once against an actual literal swastika on the chest white supremacist. This is also why I find it so damn amusing that you keep autiscally screeching about Nazis. I've actually had to deal with ACTUAL Nazi's And you know what, they bleed just like anyone else.
But you know this will be the last time I even bother to reponst to your dumb ass, I've got shit to do.
You know for a left wing moron you sure are homophobic as hell with all your talk of Putin's cock and act of homosexual fellatio. I'll save my mouth for my boyfreind thank you. #LGBT4Trump BTW.
You talk a big game son, but I fucking guarantee your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash. I'm not affiliated with any actual group, but I've see how fucking pathetic you ANTIFA wanna-bes are when you start a fight. You see what happened in Portland recently? Some little fuck nut start hitting hitting people with a metal baton only to get one punched so bad that he's still in the fucking ICU with a bleeding in his brain. Another one walked away with a cracked orbital socket.
Fucking CLASSIC. Get blown out in the comment sections; 'YOUR A RUSSIAN-BOT NAZI PROPAGANDIST!' I'm literally laughing out loud over here listing to you melt down.
And you know, the funniest thing about your complete failure to make a point.. well have you actually even bothered to READ any WW2 history? The Soviets and the Nazi's HATED each other. Jesus, people talk about what the US did in WW2, but the fighting in Russia was wwaayy wwwwaaaayyyy worse on the eastern front. People obsess about the 11 million Jews and other 'undesirables', but the Axis themselves lost about 9 to 11 million military soldiers. But the Soviets lost about 26 million! And that's just the eastern front!
Hey, here's a thought. Instead of just CALLING everyone you don't like a Russian/Nazi/Robot how about you go and actually READ some fucking history. You just might learn something.
'EVERYONE THAT DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME IS RACIST!!!1' -The cry of those with out an argument.
I tell you want, you want to see some 'actual victimization'? How about you go talk about woman in Britain with their faces burned off with acid in sectarian violence? How about RAMPANT sexual assault in multiple cities in the UK, some of which got NO media OR police attention. How about literally thousands of documented cases of female genital mutilation in Canada? Too spicy for you? Well how about just the constant cartel violence across the nation of Mexico? You aver even SEEN some photos of fucking bad that is getting? They keep finding open pits with dismembered torsos. Just torsos, because the cartels like to dissolve the heads and hands in acid so they can't really tell who the victims are. Oh, and this one is my 'favorite'... the literally tens of THOUSANDS of drone strikes that one former President Obama's administration OKed. Most of which hit civilians. up to about 60 FUCKING percent of the time they were used! That's about 6 times as many drone strikes that Bush did!
Is THAT enough fucking victimization? Or does it only count when you can blame it on a Republican?
Wow. That's a real classy response you made there. Just rain more shit on an entire user base of a website for the opinions of really annoying extreme minority of the user base.
And people wonder why social alienation is getting so bad in western society.
No, that would definitely be 'fake news' as it is now. While there is seriously suspicious shit going on with Seth Rich's murder and that Pizza place is freakin' weird there's nothing we can point at that passes scrutiny.
One thing that's really started to be a problem is how often big money news organizations are willing to cite one on other to slander their competition. Case in point Gab.AI controversy when it was discovered that a few high profile right wing activist and actual racist were driven off of Twitter. This was used as an excuse for Google to pull their app from the app store, irregardless that at the time nothing that was being done there directly violated Googles TOS on that platform.
The absolute failure of the MSM and various governments to control the narrative of any one issue has already proven the futility of trying to censor dissenting opinions and narratives. The more you try to shape opinion by forcing the more people will chose to find other sources of information. And sadly if often drives people into falling into the trap of buying into narratives that may or may not be accurate at all. See just about any news story from Buzzfeed.
And that's before we actually get into talking about when the media actively and provably lies to the public. I'm looking at you CNN. 'It's illegal to read Wikileaks' my ass...
That is appositely incorrect. The 5.56x45mm round is significantly faster than the older and larger military round like 7.62x51mm (.308) round that was used in older designs like the M14, which is what preceded the adoption of the M16. The whole reason why the US military and NATO went to 5.56 because the ammunition was lighter and cheaper than the ammunition they used to use. And even then, the military still do use weapons chambered in 7.62 for selected purposes. Like designated marksmen or sniper duty.
That is true. The Armalite 15 (AR-15) was originally designed as a commercial sporting rifle in the 1950s. Colt liked the design well enough that they bought the patent and reworked the fire control group and upper receiver to make it 'select fire'. Mean it could be either normal semi-auto or full auto. Some of the parts are interchangeable, but the fire control is still regulated as a machine gun.
I'm guessing no one told the OP of this tread that you can download free PDFs of all metal machine pistols off of the web off of random public and open websites. Such as http://thehomegunsmith.com/
Well if it's all a matter of the right level of skill then why doesn't someone work on automating the process? Or at least as much of it as can be done.
Yeah, because Rolling Stone magazine has such a sterling history of conducting deep in depth investigations. Just ignore the fact that they had to pay about $1.65 million when they published a scandalous accusation of rape in a fraternity when the case against them collapsed due to serious credibility issues with the accuser.
Given that they can walk through areas that have just been hit by a sarin gas, a lethal neural toxin, wearing nothing more than a cheap dusk mask and no gloves and not immediately be incapacitated or otherwise or die.
For decades now schools have been pushing students towards college level education, regardless of the students innate skill, temperament, or desire to even do so. Which is exactly why you have so many unemployable graduates with degrees in woman's, some weird ethic studies, or just general strain of liberal arts. None of these course really have much in the way of use in general society, other than perhaps writing for Buzzfeed or some other garbage website.

Oh, what's that? A moron talking about killing a sitting US president? Well, I'm sure that can't possible end poorly for you.

I don't really know what a '/k/' is exactly in this context. But everything I have said is common information.

Well that, or some random just went crazy. Possibly among the companies own personal.
One thing for certain though: this will go political in about 5 fucking minutes.
