I saw this over on the verge.

The people who created this look harmless enough, but notice the manic glee at their creation?  The AIs are getting too good, and who knows what kinds of twisted ethics their machine minds will latch onto.

 

 

I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...

>"So killer drones are now here"

>Implying they weren't already here.

 

There was a video around here of a drone shooting a handgun not too long ago...

 

Not to mention drones have been killer for a while now...

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

2.
  1. an unmanned aircraft or ship that can navigate autonomously, without human control or beyond line of sight:
    the GPS of a U.S. spy drone.
  2. (loosely) any unmanned aircraft or ship that is guided remotely:
    a radio-controlled drone.

 

That's precisely what a drone is.

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

Hey now, that wouldn't be the fire-and-forget MIRV? The one that launches its warheads down at the target?

You can't have the good without the bad.

Always been like that, and'll never change.

Yep, we've been seeing that for a while. Eg. Nuclear power that has 0 carbon emissions, and advanced atomic weapons that could easily destroy life as we know it.
