Military automation - drones, cars, swimmers, walkers

One of the reasons the government is so successful at collecting taxes is the slave-on-slave enforcement - without it, going door-to-door to extract funds becomes too expensive to be profitable. But with technology reducing the cost of machines and those machines becoming autonomous, door-to-door enforcement becomes feasible. Yikes.

It's freedom vs tyranny, a fork in the road!

Little known fact: US Defense Department is the biggest source of funding in AI research.

Another little known fact: The quantum computers being funded and built in governmental facilities, will one day end up in commercial devices you can watch porn on, but first it will be used to spy everyone on the planet and to encrypt/decrypt messages that would be impossible to eavesdrop otherwise.

Shhh! I was just told by a statist yesterday that because I understand actions carried out in the name of the State are immoral, I need to stop using the internet because they invented it. I don't want tomorrow's statists telling me I should praise violence because of the innovations in AI.

Did I say that? Don't assume my intentions and don't assume that I'm statist, the technology needs to be as far as possible from military use. Have you seen Terminator? Robots were created with the goal of killing people and became too good at it, do you think I support going to that direction? Do you understand what quantum computing can do to an already alarming surveillance state?
