| -CraZed- said: Hate to break it to ya but there is a laundry list of important advancements that have come from military applications. Nuclear fission, Teflon, large computer technology, composites, radar, integrated circuits, spread spectrum technology, rocket technology which we use to launch satellites, GPS, microwave technologies, drone technology, plus many other contributions in the areas of civil engineering and not to mention the medical advancements we have today was largely driven by military research. But as for a ban on AI weapons. Why? It's science unfettered. I mean, where does morality come into play here? And besides, we can control it. What could go wrong? |
So, what's your point? That it's OK to devise new ways to impose might and kill people because we reap cool inventions as a side-effect?
There is nothing on tthose advancements that tie them specifically to military. They could have come from standard research and development on a competitive consumer economy. That money doesn't need to go to trigger-happy morons.
Not to mention the nazi medical experiments also meant a lot of breakthroughs after the war. Are you cool with that sort of science unfettered too?
