The aircraft flew up to speeds of 1,200mph. DARPA did not reveal which aircraft won the dogfight.

    Sorry I was stressed when replying. Yeah in those cases humans have pulled the trigger. At several stages.

    When arming a murder bot ship and sending to erase an island of life, you then lose control. That person is not pulling loads and loads of triggers. The triggers are automatic by a machine making the decision to end these lives.

    And that is a danger, same as with engineered bio warfare. It just cannot be let out of the box even, or we all may die extremely quick.

      I imagine there would be overrides built in. Until the atom bombs were physically dropped a simple radio message could have called off the mission.

      Likewise the atom bombs were only armed/activated at a certain point during the flight to Nagasaki and Hiroshima… And I believe Nagasaki wasn’t even the original target, it was an updated target because the original city scheduled for bombing was clouded over that day.

      So we do build contingencies and overrides in.

        The entire point of automating the killing is that it is no dead man’s switch or any other human interaction involved in the kill. It is moot if there is one such. Call offs or dead switch back doors safety contingencies are not a solution to rampant unwanted slaughter as it can fail in so many ways and when the wars escalate to the point where those need to be used it is too late because there are 5 different strains of murder bots and you can only stop the ones you have codes to and those codes are only given to like three people at top secret level 28

          Of course someone has to set the mission jack ass. You’re so stupid. What’s your issue?

          You really have no idea how technology is developed. You probably think tanks, guns, nuclear weapons were just made as end products… Just designed from scratch and popped into existence one day. No testing, no stages of refinement, no generation changes in protocol… No in your idiotic mind end products just pop out fully formed.

          This is why I told you I wouldn’t entertain your abstractions - because they’re idiotic. It’s just mental vomit from a moron. Bye.
