Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed by a robot, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Fakhrizadeh was assassinated in November 2020, and initial reports claimed he was gunned down by a remote-controlled machine gun.
According to the new Times report, the gun was planted in a pickup truck by Iranian agents, and operated by a Mossad sniper working on a computer located outside Iran.
The newspaper also said that the gun was a beta test of a weapon "kitted out with artificial intelligence and multiple-camera eyes, operated via satellite and capable of firing 600 rounds a minute."
The truck itself was filled with explosives intended to destroy the robotic gun, but the force of the blast flung the equipment out of the truck intact, leaving evidence of the weapon...

How hard would it be to set up a remote controlled rifle that doesn’t weigh a ton or need any AI?
Why all the bells and whistles? Why all that weight?
This just doesn’t make sense.
Read it more carefully. It was awesome.
Breaking Bad was a great show but most cops and gansters will tell you stuff doesnt work that way.

***Overall mission failure, even though the targeted person was assassinated.
Was the Israeli named Walter White? hehe
Psyop... If you believe that was accidental... well... I don’t. How paranoid would you be if there were AI killer robots after you? How much would that hamper your capabilities?
Exactly.
A remote controlled rifle would require transmitter and receiver and high capacity link (Need to send back real time imagery/sight picture/telemetry and also push commands to gun). By using AI you ensure (i) you are shooting the right target (ii) you don’t miss with very low chance of signal intercept.
Yeah, “sounds awesome”. /s
Also sounds like the kind of thing they will use against “insurrectionists” in the not so far away future. Give up checkers and take a look at playing chess.
You’ll learn to think a few more moves ahead.
Skynet is real and alive!
“The New York Times reported...”, that’s your first problem right there.
Exactly..
You might want to visit Albuquerque, talk to some locals and local cops. Ask them how close Breaking Bad is to home.
Just yesterday I was in favor of Bionic Mexicans.
Think of the yards they could mow.
Now robots are offing Iranians?
