Autonomous

"Should countries possessing the technology to build drones and other “killer robots“ that are fully autonomous, and can kill without direct orders or remote control, place limits on their development and use?"

What kind of question is that? Ok, it gets even better with this line:

"What are the consequences if participating nations find that non-signatory countries or rogue states have started or continued to employ such weapons?" 

Seriously?! What good would come from autonomous weapons? And I thought I was the joker in this relationship, pal. You just gave me two reasons to want nothing to do with them. It's like saying, "Which would you like better? Having your flesh slowly ripped open with a butter knife or having rats eat your face off?" Neither of those things sound pleasant, mind you, nor would I be stupid enough to actually pick one. 

If autonomous weapons are so dangerous why would countries even make them? If I created something that could kill anything without me telling it what to do that would sound freakin' awesome, but tell me one, and I mean ONE smart decision any government has made with any weapons. I can imagine something like this getting out in the streets and killing random people daily. Sure, it would certainly help deal with hunger and poverty and such by shredding down the population, but I guess that's highly unethical and blah blah blah since human lives are apparently worth something. I could also imagine some fool somewhere going "oh look, I just created this awesome machine that can kill people without me telling to, everyone should totally give me money!" and right before they continue they get blasted by the same device. And then the machine destroys all of humanity and then you have the movie "9" (which was a fantastic movie, by the way I suggest you watch it after you think up another blog for me to answer sarcastically." 

So, I don't really see the point of autonomous weapons. I really, really don't. I mean, it's much more efficient to train humans than create some machine to create the "terminator effect" and we all know how paranoid people became after the Terminator series. Sigh. Onto the next blog. 

Well, there's my answer.
