robotics and warfare

Very interesting talk about robotics and warfare on my new favorite website:

PW Singer on military robots and the future of war | Video on TED.com (http://www.ted.com/talks/pw_singer_on_robots_of_war.html)

This has all happened before and it will happen again.

No fate but what we make.

Come with me if you want to live.

I'm somewhat concerned they will adapt predators for stuff like traffic speeds on the highway in the not so distant future.
And possibly hard to police urban areas.

Right now the sucker gets the ticket in a pack of 10 cars going over the limit. Can you imagine if they could capture speed data and plates on multiple vehicles? It would be crazy how many tickets.

It made me think of the "Just a glitch" scene from Robocop.

I'm already planning on refusing to show up at the vaporizer booth.
