    This reminded me of some recruitment ads here in the UK that ask “what will the army of the future look like” and they show this dystopian hellscape where a whole village is burnt to the ground and this humanoid robot runs through the wreck and then a drone flies by and then they show the operators and say “it looks like you”.

    Like “come operate our murder robots for us! You can’t have flashbacks of people dying if you’re not there in person to see it!”
    🤮

      No, because they know of the risk well and won’t give the power to do so automatically. Also there is still someone behind having control.

    “You know… You know what I’ve noticed? Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan”. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds. Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos.”
