Replying to myself: how long before one of these with the neuron count of a corvid and trained on pattern recognition gets plugged into a drone?
This is a very dark path, and I could not trust the people in charge less.
I’m kind of sick of how readily the non-managerial tech world accepts “what happens is someone else does this immoral thing before us?!” rhetoric as a real answer to questioning whether or not we should contribute our talent and ideas to something that we, deep down, know is bad for fellow humans.
In a sense humanity has already done that, just with a lot more of the given animal intact and less hi-tech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pigeon
Not an endorsement or a condemnation, just something I learned of recently and found surprising.
