Or watch war games....
Or just, you know, have a moral compass in general.
Or read the article?
Great, so I guess the future of terrorism will be fueled by people learning programming and figuring out how to make emps so they can send the murder robots back to where they came from. At this point one of the biggest security threats to the U.S. and for that matter the entire world is the extremely low I.Q. of every one that is supposed to be protecting this world. But I think they do this all on purpose, I mean the day the Pentagon created ISIS was probably their proudest day.

Eh, they could've done that without AI for like two decades now. I suppose the drones would crashland in a rather destructive way due to the EMP, which might also fry some of the electronics rendering the drone useless without access to replacement components.
Saw a video where the military was testing a "war robot". The best strategy to avoid being killed by it was to stay u human liek(e.g. Crawling or rolling your way to the robot).
Apart of that, this is the stupidest idea I have ever heard of.
Didn't they literally hide under a cardboard box like MGS? haha
You're right. They also hid under a cardboard box.
I hope they put some failsafe so that it cannot take action if the estimated casualties puts humans below a minimum viable population.
Of course they will, and the threshold is going to be 2 or something like that, it was enough last time, or so I heard
Woops. Two guys left. Naa that's enough to repopulate earth
There is no such thing as a failsafe that can't fail itself
Netflix has a documentary about it, it's quite good. I watched it yesterday, but forgot its name.
Unknown: Killer Robots ?
yes, that was it. Quite shocking to watch. I think that these things will be very real in maybe ten years. I'm quite afraid of it.
