"The US Army and Navy have both hired experts in the ethics of building machines to prevent the creation of an amoral Terminator-style killing machine that murders indiscriminately.

By 2010 the US will have invested $4 billion in a research programme into "autonomous systems", the military jargon for robots, on the basis that they would not succumb to fear or the desire for vengeance that afflicts front line soldiers.

A British robotics expert has been recruited by the US Navy to advise them on building robots that do not violate the Geneva Conventions."

1) 4 billion dollars???? WTF-INGF???
2) We hired some British dude? What? We have NO ONE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY who can build a "moral Geneva Convention following" robot? ?
3) Since when did front line fighting become MURDER?
4) This is just for the RESEARCH??? 4 Billion? No wonder we're fecked.
5) How the FECK is the Robot going to know the Geneva Conventions when the assholes they would fight don't know them?
6) Is this a f-ing joke?
7) Ethics?
8) Amoral robots?
9) 4 billion spent on MORAL ROBOT research. WHO THE FECK APPROVED THIS SHIZZ?
