Slaughterbots - not scary at all.

Have you guys seen this?

It's totally fictional, it's not at all real...
It's a short movie created by professor Stuart Russell (University of California at Berkley) and the Future of Life Institute.
It's intended to warn people about the progression of weaponized technology... and it totally hits home.

It's super easy to see how if tiny strike drones like this aren't already possible, then they could be in the near future.
Obviously range would be an issue, but I'm sure that could be sorted pretty easily... but if the drones are pre-programmed then radio-jamming technology wouldn't affect the mission.

Anyway, it is totally fictional, but I thought the ideas behind the short film were super interesting and slightly terrifying, but also kind of exciting too. To fight a war with potentially very few civilian casualties would be incredible... the obvious question being... who decides who the enemy is?
