Slaughterbots!

from The Future is not Set · host Dave Keeshan and Jonathan Byrne

This episode we cover the amorality of technology and how it butts up against the messy real world of people and trying to model things like language and intent as implementation requirements. Hilarity ensues!\r\n\r\nIn 2017 the video Slaughterbots! was posted on YouTube that showed a black Mirror like future where assassin drones existed and got slightly out of hand. This video was targeted at all the designers and engineers that could actually build something like that and to consider some of the less savory practical applications that their work could lead to.
