The fear isn't the tool; drones are wonderful. It's that a 'technical glitch', or a 'bug' becomes an acceptable excuse for losing a human life.

We ABSOLUTELY need safeguards before that line blurs, not after.

Because if that line blurs, there's barely ANY turning back, unless something happens!

Now, this is what I call responsible #robot engineering...

... Dude designs a bot, and has instructions how to disable it on his (https://www.satyress.com/) website.

@DanielSuarez @bsletten

I used to be active in the #stopkillerrobots hashtag on twitter back in the day...

... There was nearly ZERO interest in those days.

Maybe we should have gone with something more relevant, like "Machines are going to steal your IP!!!"
But those were the days when EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY the kool kids were downloading JibbyBytes of Movies and MP3s

AI is helping turn entire communities into targets.

Children are being hunted by drones, and war is moving beyond human control.

Join me in saying no to AI for warfare:

@hacks4pancakes

"Ai" is not something that popped up in the last 3 years.
Ai was being integrated into combat systems for the last decade+.

I know because I was active in #StopKillerRobots movement and no one was interested.

Was active in #stopkillerrobots campaigns over the last 13 years...

That is entirely the wrong headed (giggity) approach, IMHO.

A big part of man(person)-machine interface is the control and responsibility remaining in human hands.

Not so long ago, the few of us geeks who foresaw where machine brains would take us, campaigned in #stopkillerrobots.
A campaign to keep human decision making in military #killchain
A campaign that failed spectacularly, in no small part, I am sure to uniformed Doctorow analogues dismissing it as unnecessary farsical puppetry.

Even now, I actively strive to #regulateAI IRL and human decision making is essential and imperative in AI.
The "reverse centaur" is a canard, as much as a driver of a motorcar is not pulling the cargo by their muscle.

AI is not going away for the same reason we don't see "Picks and shovels" (!) digging infrastructure trenches anymore. Machines have been eating jobs since the 1700s and it's only scary now because the white collars are on the chopping block.

I have huge respect for @pluralistic and his role, which he fulfills admirably is an activist, a what we call in Australia, a shitstirer. His opinions stimulate debate, but keeping an expert in the decision chain, if it's only a tick box is a good thing.

Call it a "moral crumple zone" if you will.
Removing it all together is bad and I am disturbed anyone would try to make hay of this.
The alternative is full automation and I am sure all the #AI "fans" would agree it's a bad thing.

@glynmoody

Back when twitter was not owned by outright fascists I used to regularly hashtag #stopkillerrobots

Literally no one was interested about putting a human in the kill chain.

But grab your furry-xman crossover porn blog and suddenly EVERYONE is concerned about AI.

🚨 "Killer robots" threaten human rights in war & peace! Autonomous weapons lack human judgment, risking lives, privacy & dignity. 🌍 Over 120 countries urge a global treaty to ban or regulate these deadly systems. Time to act for a safer, humane future! 🤖✋ #StopKillerRobots #HumanRights #UN #AutonomousWeapons #Peace https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/04/28/killer-robots-threaten-human-rights-during-war-peace #newz

#KillerRobots

"Autonomous weapons systems select and apply force to targets based on sensor processing rather than human input. Some autonomous weapons systems have existed for years, but the types, duration of operation, geographical scope, and environment in which such systems operate have been limited. Now technological advances are spurring the development of autonomous weapons systems or 'killer robots,' which would operate without meaningful human control, delegating life-and-death decisions to machines. Such weapons systems raise serious ethical, moral, legal, accountability, and security problems and concerns. #HumanRightsWatch is a founding member of #StopKillerRobots campaign, a civil society coalition that calls for a new international treaty to prohibit and restrict autonomous weapons systems."

We urge Paraguay and UN member states to regulate autonomous weapons

In February 2024, the UN sent a letter to states and civil society organizations requesting their comments on lethal autonomous weapon systems, known as “killer robots.” The letter sought to address the challenges and concerns from

📢 NEW BLOG 📢

Co-authored by Catherine Connolly, #StopKillerRobots and ECNL's Francesca Fanucci the blog discusses the #AIAct & CoE Framework convention & their potential exclusion of #AI systems for military, national defence & security purposes from their regulatory scope.

Killer robots don’t just appear – we create them. If we allow this dehumanisation we will struggle to protect ourselves from machine decision-making in other areas of our lives. We need to prohibit autonomous weapons systems that would be used against people, to prevent this slide to digital dehumanisation.

"Machines don’t see us as people, just another piece of #code to be processed and sorted. From smart homes to the use of robot dogs by police enforcement, #AI technologies and automated decision-making are now playing a significant role in our lives. At the extreme end of the spectrum of #automation lie killer robots."

I support #StopKillerRobots! The folks working on it are veterans of the anti-landmine campaign. We're in a moment of possibly being able to ban these things /before/ anything terrible happens, which would be very good.

New sticker!
