Eric Schmidt is, in his own words, an arms dealer now and is driving the R&D of autonomous A.I. weapons.

For the vast majority of non pacifists, that is not a bad thing.

    Speak for yourself. I'm a non-pacifist, and I think "autonomous A.I. weapons" are a nightmare.

    • Sure, all lethal weapons are a horrific nightmare on some level.

      But you also have to keep in mind that China, Russia and Hamas will gladly develop them anyway. Until we've figured out the worldwide peace thing, we need to keep running the race, awful as it is.

  • I would go even further: Not only the vast majority, but 100% of non pacifist like AI weapons.
