That's actually a comforting fact, honestly.

 THAT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED GUNS TO KILL HUMANS.

I MEAN THEY DON'T NEED GUNS.

Guns used by AI would be designed to be used by AI. We already have automatic nerf and paintball turrets which to me says even if I haven't seen one, it exists for real guns too. Such a device would be perfect for AI control. Perfect in some strange sense anyway...

I'd like to introduce you to the US Navy's Phalanx CWIS. It's a fully automated 20mm rotary turret designed to destroy aircraft, missiles, and small boats.

I'm not sure I understand what is going on in that video. Is the line from tracers and it's just firing stupidly fast?

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah. The line is tracers. Only every 7th round or something like that is a tracer, though. So for every one you're seeing there's another six you're not seeing. It's very much an 'accuracy by volume' sort of deal.

The thing looks goofy as hell, though.
