There were two red lines, as I understand it -- first, automated kill bots, and second, mass surveillance.

There were two red lines, as I understand it -- first, automated kill bots, and second, mass surveillance.
Mass domestic surveillance of American citizens (they were OK with surveillance of other countries).
No. There was only one red line.
Bend over and take or not.
Neither of those red lines should be controversial. What American citizen thinks terminators and Big Brother are desirable?
MAGA (as long as the terminators are pointed towards the other side)
Citizen 1?
The ones that still assume big brother will be spying on and killing the people they hate. Trump openly campaigned on getting revenge on his enemies. I can only assume his supporters want this. The danger of course is if/when the leopards eat their faces
I guess the problem for Trump is if he orders the army to gun down protesters, there’s a good chance they will refuse to do it. While a bot can just be prompted to go ahead.
Crazy to think how Deus Ex: Human revolution might have gotten the timeline right. Except there's no human augmentation and there won't be citizen fighting four-legged robot police in 2027 Detroit with molotov cocktails: they'll only hear a disconcerting buzz coming at them with ludicrous speed before eternal darkness.
This one here is the future I am most scared of.
