Basically every country signing on with these idiots are countries with no tech base to begin with. Time to investigate who these aholes are really working for.

Sure, it begins; innocently enough, with killer robots. After that, they’ll turn their attentions to outlawing the original fully autonomous weapons, and there won’t be anywhere for us to get a beer.

"Second Variety" was a disturbing novelette by Philip K. Dick that I read that touches on this topic.

If Skynet is going to happen then it will.

Listen, and understand! That Terminator is out there! It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are dead!

Cruise missiles?

Drones?

What is a “robot”?

Something that makes its own decisions, maybe?

The sad thing is, the fact that they need to be banned indicates that they are almost certainly going to be used.

How to get there?

When to launch?

In the simplest terms a traffic light is a robot.

And so are the cameras that take photos of speeders and those running lights.

Russia already has a doomsday device that is a robot designed to launch a mutually assured destruction attack against the West if it senses Russia has experienced a nuclear bombing.

It was created after a Soviet refused the order to launch a MAD attack in response to flakey intel readings.

It is still armed and alive.

They don’t make their own decisions. It’s bare boned automation.
