Jodie Foster Is ‘Much More Comfortable Having Robots’ Own Guns
Breitbart ^ | June 8, 2018 | Awk Hawkins

Hollywood actress Jodie Foster said she would be “much more comfortable having robots” own a gun than an emotional human doing so.

“I mean, I’d be much more comfortable having robots have them, but we are designed to have emotions that overflow and that are not guided by our heads,” the Hannibal star said in a recent interview with Indie Wire.

“To have sentient beings that are completely and entirely guided by their emotions have the power to administer life or death using one kilowatt of energy in a nanosecond is just unfathomable with me,” Foster added.

To have sentient beings that are completely and entirely guided by their emotions have the power to administer life or death...

I guess Hollywood liberals live in a world where people are completely and entirely guided by their emotions. Good thing the rest of us don't. Maybe that's why they let their "feelings" trump their reason.

Personally, I don't want software deciding to kill people. We've already got machines that kill the target you indicate on a screen, in that case the operators worry about things like non-combatants, children in the area, etc. An autonomous lethal robot or drone won't care about who the targets are.

Is THAT what she is advocating?

She's just clueless. We already have autonomous killing devices. They are called land mines, or booby traps, and most people aren't in favor of using them unless you really need to.

“Cain rose up against his brother Abel, and slew him.” And that’s the way it’s been, Toots. Only the methods have changed.

What fool only listens to their heart and entirely ignores their brain? Oh, that's right... Democrats.

Don’t worry,Jodie...if a crazed fan shows up at your home planning to harm you the cops will make sure they’re unarmed when they show up.

That’s why actors are so overwhelmingly leftist.
