AI-controlled US military drone ‘kills’ its operator in simulated test

The obvious question being: Why would such a hypothesis specifically involve a simulation rather than imagined reality?

I can only assume Christopher Nolan was somehow involved.

These gun nuts look for confrontations.
If there aren’t any they create them.

Winner of the early prediction

In war, humans often surprise their military/political masters by finding ways not to kill each other (insert obligatory WWI example here). Computers, on the other hand, seem to be surprising us with their wide choice of targets.

I am just a monkey with a keyboard. At some point the works of Shakespeare will appear after I randomly type on here. I really can’t remember that post at all.

Crystal Palace, Wednesday evening/Thursday morning, posting incase anyone can add information.

I briefly spoke to this guy, roughly 18.30 Wednesday eve outside Cadence on my way back from a ride [edited].

Have called Crimestoppers and given best information I can. If you saw Ion or anything notable on Wednesday night/Thursday morning in Crystal Palace, then please call too, or fwd the link in any CP threads/groups you have, cheers.

Oh shit, that is horrible.

1. Marine Le Pen and her party are accused of being Putin's puppets.
   
2. They demand a parliamentary inquiry, chaired by one of their own, to investigate and exonerated them.

Half a million Poles march for freedom:

Fatal collision at Hamburg Ironman in the bike leg. The rider of a camera motorbike died when he had a head-on with a competitor. The road was 2 way for the cyclists with a central lane for motorbikes. Not seen it done that way before. Trigger warning before you click on the upsetting link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itR1fwrHKYs

No apology needed mate, you weren’t indiscreet or anything, it was more looking out for you. It’s a public forum and all that.
