R2-D2 now works for Osama bin Laden
It is only a matter of time before terrorists use deadly robots to launch attacks on heavily populated urban areas, experts say.
The know-how and materials for manufacturing lethal, improvised robots are easily available, said experts gathered Wednesday at a British military think-tank.
“Sooner or later, we’re going to see a Cessna programmed to fly into a building,” said Rear Admiral Chris Parry, who formed the Ministry of Defence’s Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre in 2005.
I’ll let Broomstick explain why a Cessna loaded with explosives is a pretty pointless weapon (she does it so well).
Hmmm. This goes along alarmingly well with my thread here .
The great thing about autonomous killer robots is that there’s no need for embarrassing courts martial if one of these things destroys a whole villiage of non-combatants. Oops, it was just a glitch in the software. :rolleyes:
And what about when our guys get killed because at a critical moment in the battle, their killbot get’s a BSOD?Skynet comes on-line.
The Skynet 5B U.K. military space satellite has begun operations a month early, the U.K. Ministry of Defence announced Feb. 19.
I can’t help wondering what Eve would have to say about this.
We called a military satellite SKYNET?!
Fuck it, does no one in the British Government ever watch films?

You do understand that a stack of dynamite with a wind-up mechanical alarm clock for a time-delay fuse IS a robot.
This is not new.
