Comment on The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans
Snapz@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe real problem (and the thing that will destroy society) is boomer pride. I’ve said this for a long time, they’re in power now and they are terrified to admit that they don’t understand technology.
So they’ll make the wrong decisions, act confident and the future will pay the tab for their cowardice, driven solely by pride/fear.

Boomers have been in power for a long long time and the technology we are debating is as a result of their investment and prioritisation. So am not sure they are very afraid of it.

I didn’t say they were afraid of the technology, I said they were afraid to admit that they don’t understand it enough to legislate it. Their hubris in trying to preset a confident facade in response to something they can’t comprehend is what will end us.
