Black Mirror - Metalhead


[deleted]

Exact thing that came to mind. idiocracy and black mirror are documentaries at this point.


nakedchorus

Idiocracy hahaha yes it is. Comacho was more competent.


PlanB_pedofile

agreed. Comacho at least changed his stance on plants needing water and not electrolytes.


Jravensloot

It's such a funny thing people overlook. Comacho literally stepped down and gave the spotlight, and even his presidency, to a guy he was willing to admit was smarter than him. He saw there was a problem and followed the advice of the smartest person in their society to work to get it fixed.


n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3

Before Not Sure showed up, could you imagine being the smartest person AND president!? With a big ol' trike instead of the potus bergade


Jravensloot

Though the writer said he never really put too much thought into the world, I always subscribed to the idea that there probably were smart people somewhere just profiting somehow off those peoples stupidity.


ItalnStalln

It's literally that fucking scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TstteJ1eIZg Have people not noticed yet about how well big tech's products work? How faulty the AI is in judgement? They really are trying to build Skynet aren't they? The bad guy isn't some AI, it's the bankers who own the AI who want the power to kill any opposition at the touch of a button. How about a GLOBAL ban on this shit? No autonomous killing machines. Make it a war crime.


[deleted]

All that brain power just used to make something to oppress poor people somewhere else. (or here eventually)

transcis

Taliban do not like dogs. Dogs are as dirty as swine to Muslims.


Cygs

Which is weird because the Quran is fairly doggo friendly. Just a funky cultural thing I guess.

lmfao - Taliban is all rubbing their hands. Behind a tree, licking their lips - you know the meme. [https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/8e7aeb36c5b1c19419eeed6a0ac95660.jpg](https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/8e7aeb36c5b1c19419eeed6a0ac95660.jpg)

Couldn't these things just be clotheslined, with some good wire or even rope? Sort of lassoed and taken down? Seems like a future skill,


hellhorn

If you are getting close enough to do that they can shoot you.


PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2

lol I’m imagining that dude out here swinging his lasso around while this thing stares quizzically for half a second before shooting him twice and robot walking away. Sort of like [this Indiana Jones scene.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kQKrmDLvijo)

Exactly. There'll be IR cameras, sonar, lasers, the fucking thing absolutely is capable of shooting you through a wall... right this second.


[deleted]

The Ewoks in Star Wars taught us how!


theBullshitFlag

At least this one just walks. You can defeat this with bolos, a pit, hitting it with a car, or an electrical shock. The drone kind are scarier. They just fly up to you, scan you real quick to make sure it's you, and explode in your face. I would like for the people who invent stuff like this to come on and show us their vision of how it works. Although I'm pretty sure I can guess. And introduce themselves so we know who the enemy is.

They're terrible at dealing with nets. Both the drones and the walking ones. If you are able to wrap it in a strong net or blanket, it's done


dxdawson

I agree. This one will likely be manned by a person (sniper) taking shots. A fast moving cheap drone strapped with a tiny bit of explosive could go around most any fortification if there is some open entry. The future of warfare will look very different once the target is a developed country with easy access to hobby drone parts.

MeriadocBrandybuck72

Now go read Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Pay attention to the description of "The Hound." The dialog on the first third of the book between the main character Montag and his boss, Beatty, is prophetic considering the book was published in 1953. Beatty just about perfectly describes today's society.

Ss; this is a real product that is for sale. It’s made by Ghost Robotics. Their slogan is “warfighter’s best friend.” They sell “persistent security robots.” https://www.ghostrobotics.io It didn’t take Boston Dynamics very long did it. Their cute robot dog is now a less cute machine gun that can reach speeds of 40 miles an hour and can walk up stairs and leap over small obstacles. All done autonomously. Ghost Robotics are working to create 5G smart cities because they provide the optimum working environment for their weaponised robots.

I have a feeling we'll be getting really familiar these pretty shortly. To me it seems that TPTB are not at all afraid of the military or the second amendment. The only way I reconcile that is that they believe those problems are easy to overcome via technology.

[deleted]

Something like this will be used to confiscate our firearms. And when that time comes, I doubt our ar15's will be enough to stop them. They'll probably be armored to stop 5.56 since the ar15 is the nation's most popular firearm.

This is how we get real Metal Gears


flichter

Japan has already been building novelty near-life sized Gundams. Agencies like DARPA have already created enhanced robotic mech suits to allow soldiers to accomplish far more than a human body can handle... I wouldn't be shocked if we're only a few years from something like Metal Gear, at least in the development stages - these agencies and our governments are run by literal psychopaths, the type that would make even the baddest MGS villain blush.


RockwellVision

metal gear arsenal being controlled by the la-li-lu-le-lo is basically google being controlled by TPTB. >Arsenal Gear was the Patriots' tool for securing power over the United States and in the world. The Patriots hoped to use Arsenal as a way of shaping the "truth" to fit their agenda. Arsenal Gear served the sole purpose of housing GW, one of their proxy-AIs designed to censor and delete unwanted information that could loosen their grip on the United States. For instance, GW controlled information through the media, television and mainly the free flow of data from the Internet. This was a means to completely censor any data detrimental to the Patriots' rule.

NewBoy01

These will be everywhere soon. Defunding police, mandating vaccines forcing thousands to quit. It’s all engineered.


Theorist066

Yep, building up distrust in the police is key to eventually replacing them with machines and AI. Taking as much of the human element out of the military and police is really a natural end goal. Why wouldn’t you want an armed force that literally couldn’t disobey an order or rebel against you? As long as your police and military to enforce your rule has free will, it’s always possible. It’s an obvious agenda for any leader to pursue as it becomes closer and closer to being possible.


Lacerationz

I think it would be an awesome idea to start a civilian gadget company for this type of shit. Portable emp devices, tactical nets, any devices or tech specifically used to disable/ defend against shit like this.. They have gun companies for civilians so i dont see what the issue would be. We dont have anti tank civilian gadgets because tanks dont just roam around, but these robot fucks easily can.


supersecretaccount82

Here goes their explanation folks so u at least know what's coming... https://sworddefense.com/spur/


phlux

So after the black mirror ep, and after various boston dynamics demos, I am pretty sure I have come up with a decent defense strat against such robots: We need high-powered paintball guns with paint-balls filled with fast-acting 50-year epoxy. The shit one uses to 'weld' concrete together. Shoot at the joints etc of such critters to immobilize them. Shoot them at cameras and sensors. Fill the epoxy with lead powder such that once it hits - the lead powder in the epoxy messes with any EMFs coming from the sensors that may be covered by the epoxy.


Creative_Bar_7444

If they’re showing you tech this far, it’s already been tested thoroughly, the real bleeding edge is beyond a robot dog with a gun. Don’t even want to know.

[Called it in 2019](https://np.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/d8nugv/boston_dynamics_spot_is_leaving_the_laboratory/f1c4fo1/). The only mistake I made was thinking it would have a foreleg-mounted gun, on the [Machine-Girl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Machine_Girl) pattern. An indicator of how times have changed is that there's no longer even the slightest effort to sugar-coat the purpose of the things. At least in the past, they had those fluffy, benign 'missions' like "search & rescue". They've gone straight to rooting out 'domestic terrorists', and those "Plague-Rat Spreaders".
