Horror Short Film “Slaughterbots” | ALTER

In a dystopian world a new form of A.I. weaponry has been created. All these drone bots need is a profile: age, sex, fitness, uniform, and ethnicity. Nuclear is obsolete. Take out your entire enemy virtually risk free. Just characterize him, release the swarm, and rest easy.

More About Slaugherbots:
The 7 minute film opens with a Silicon Valley CEO-type delivering a product presentation to a live audience a la Steve Jobs. The presentation seems innocuous enough at first-the presenter seems to be unveiling some new drone technology-but takes a dark turn when he demonstrates how these autonomous drones can slaughter humans like cattle by delivering “a shaped explosive” to the skull.The audience eats it up, clapping and laughing along with the CEO as if they hadn’t witnessed anything more dangerous than the unveiling of the iPhone X. The CEO goes further, showing videos of the tiny killer drone in action. “Let’s watch what happens when the weapons make the decisions,” the CEO says, as the bot executes a number of people on the massive screen behind him. “Now trust me, these are all bad guys.” What follows is a deeply unsettling portrait of a dystopian world where these small weaponised drones use their onboard technologies-“cameras like you use for your social media apps, facial recognition like you have on your phones!”-to make autonomous decisions about who lives and who dies.

The toughest and most nearest to unstoppable killer robots would likely be microscopic or astronomical and I think that we are still bloody centuries from that. Machine guns and explosive weapons could VERY easily take out ALL the robotic antagonists of this film. They are highly trained, fast and quick, but they are still the size of bloody insects. There is no such thing as the Terminator, let alone the insect Terminator. Also the whole entire earth still only has a limited amount of money to even try to build so much of these robots. Each of these tiny killer robots would cost bloody fortunes to create or rebuild. Even bloody fortunes is a severe understatement.

Want to know the scary part? The original twilight zone series probably already did similar things. Rod Serlring was way ahead in this thinking, heck before him there were pulp fiction writers that came up with similar ideas :(. We just don't like the warning... and now we are about to militarize space. Not seeing that it is far worse than ANY thermonuclear device. A satellite using kinetic weapons will be able to reach ANYWHERE!

[@Epck]

@@DehnusNorder we have stuff around there...the space force is so if someone decides to start blowing up gps satellites we have at branch for it

[@DehnusNorder]

@@Epck Clearly you are missing the point. Kinetic weaponry is far more dangerous than nuclear bombs. Militarizing space is one of the STUPIDEST things Humanity is doing. At the best it'll slow us down as we fight each other over space, at the worst a "space war" will not only create shit on earth but also make space travel impossible due to the amount of garbage it creates in orbit. But hey we can be happy as "WE BLEW SHIT UP HUHUHUHUHU".

It was more agile than a dragonfly.
