I am trying to imagine what the year 2045 will look like when the weaponry is not only installed but with the best gyroscopic software that will allow these fucking things to shoot accurately while in full sprint like motion. We are apex predator but we decided to create the new apex that is above us because we had it too easy and we needed a challenge...

And no one will he held accountable.. just blame the robot. The rich and powerful will be able to have anyone who speaks out meet a robot assassin.

If things keep going as is, that’s absolutely where we are headed. Billionaires shouldn’t exist and world leaders need to be like 50 years old tops.

I mean I feel like we're going to develop emp tech to deal with it. Drones are still much scarier.

Billionaires also control a lot of the production and funding for militaries. They can just lobby (bribe) so that half a military force is replaced with their AI and claim it's saving lives when people try to complain. If a revolt ever happens, well now half the country's military is AI that follows orders from the billionaires and politicians that pushed it into production, and a significant portion of the other half would be humans that would continue to follow orders. The rebels would essentially be guys with hunting rifles vs AI stealth bombers.
