Israel is using artificial intelligence to help pick bombing targets in Gaza, report says

It came a while back. It just took some time to get it working in a fighter jet, apparently. They had to start with terrifying doggy killbots first.

The fucked up thing is that the Black Mirror episode came out after they did, and was less-scary than real life.

Well, a rocket runs automated navigation system and kills the target (if successful). AI is no different.

Didn't that robot dog that one of the PDs in the US tested got destroyed within weeks?

It was. Really bad movie but fun.

And the anime sentou yousei yukikaze before it

This was a plot of a lot of movies. And TV shows. Most famously, The Terminator (1980).

But that movie was really bad, lol. I remember renting it from blockbuster one weekend when I was really stoned and they were out of the movie I wanted to see. God, I really don’t miss blockbuster video.

It was also the plot of the Terminator series of films. Well, except for the detail that the AI controlling the aircraft (called "Skynet") became "self aware" and that is what caused it to launch all the nukes to kill all the humans.

So how it differ from Terminator's "Skynet" is that these real life AI are being controlled by genocidal maniacs (the largest concentration of whom seem to live in the US and Israel at present) and they are setting these things to "auto-kill" mode, like what happened in Gaza recently. And the genocidal maniacs gleefully ignore international law, saying "you want to stop me, you and what army?" So who is to keep them from turning the robots against you and me?
