Beware the rise of the killer robots

https://metro.co.uk/2022/11/24/robots-in-san-francisco-could-be-allowed-to-use-deadly-force-17819322/

Doesn't sound good, but maybe not as bad as headlines suggest. It would appear that these robots are remotely-controlled and would not be deploying lethal force autonomously -- but it's one step closer.

here, I will translate it to regular speak - not wild eyed neo conspiracy speak I often use

oh, it ends badly.
robot operator according to the article a human being will remotely operate the robot ...  is a pink haired tranny this means a man with pink hair who has a mental illness and believes himself to be a woman, they are often referred to as "trannies" or a "tranny" and by the elites as "transexuals" - they are different than guys who simply like wearing woman's clothes but know they are men who identifies with getting menstrual rage because he puts the men in menstrual . you see, men can not get a menstrual period because they are men and cannot get pregnant but often modern media mentally ill people promote the lie that men can get pregnant, I know, it is very confusing to me too
he see's a young Marine lesbianlesbians are legally allowed to join the Marines now with a high and tight haircutA friend of mine, a lesbian who has sex with men as for money is also currently serving in the armed forces, she likes guns and, votes for Trump and considers herself a right winger sporting a Betsy Ross flagThirteen alternating red and white stripes, a blue canton with thirteen 5-pointed stars arranged in a circle and can't help but censor her,this means he did not like what he saw and what she says so he uses the robot to stop her free speech using the latest in skynet weaponry skynet is the fictional artificial intelligence from the movie terminator that seeks to destroy the humans, sorry you did not understand my reference   .... it ends very badly by ending badly means I think left wing transexuals will kill people they disagree with, using robots

If it is not some sort of AI, then it is basically just a gun on wheels (or treads).  The operator would still be subject to the same use of force requirements as if he had the gun in hand.  It would be similar to the military using drones, they have ROEs just as ground troops do. 

They might be useful in some applications.  If the gutless wonders at Uvalde had an armed robot, perhaps they would have driven one into the classroom and taken out the bad guy as they cowered in safety.

Yeah, no 'ffense, gunsmith but the original was kind of an editor's nightmare.

I hope you're not catching the "Everybody Can Read My Mind So I Can Just Ramble" syndrome.

ECRMMSICJRitis.

Or was that just an object lesson?

The cowardly jackwagon Uvalde schools police chief would probably have held the robot back to avoid having it damaged by the shooter.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

That, or he would have knocked down half the school, perforated the perp beyond recognition, and then proclaimed that he and his entire Uvalde Unified School District SWAT team were heroes.

I saw the headline before I saw your comment.  I said the same thing to myself.   :facepalm:   :laugh:    :'(

That's actually been done before, hasn't it?  Or am I misremembering it from a movie

Not misremembering.
During a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas a BLM supporter ambushed cops killing 5, wounding 9 and injuring 2 bystanders. 

Bad guy holed up at a dead end hall of a building attached to a college and was trying to force the cops to come down the hall to kill him where he could shoot some more. Someone suggested shooting through the wall with a .50 but they figured the passthrough would be too dangerous so instead used a robot to slap a pound of C4 on the other side of the wall he was hiding behind and set off the charge.
