This is kinda interesting, too:
Ezekiel 1: 4-21
4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, 5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human, 6 but each of them had four faces and four wings. 7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. 8 Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings, 9 and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.
10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. 14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.
15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
Me too!!!
One word...shotgun. And I don’t mean Junior Walker & the Allstars.
For reference and context to this greater AI issue, I recommend ‘Metalhead’, episode 5 of Season 4 in the series Black Mirror. Excellent and frightening example.
Remember the movie some time ago that featured round metal balls that flew around, chased people, then exploded their heads?
Yeah, I don’t see anything good coming from this.
AA-12 with multiple drum magazines.
The Drone Wars……
What are the legal ramifications of AI controlled drone kills in a war zone?
The Intelligence community should focus on wisdom, and not intelligence, for a while.
Every decent SciFi author had already issued a warning...
Thanks for that suggestion. That’ll be next on my binge watch list.
Something the Deepstater types and the WEF should think about....just what sorts of things the really smart Patriot people in this nation have waiting for them or that which could be invented in a hurry, in their private workshops and garages.(Nope not just guns). I should think Guns should be the least of stalinist wokie liberals’ worries when they set about trying to create their Utopia upon the backs of an unwilling populace!

Legal?
No one cares about Legal!
Stop playing by the rules
Mea culpa.
Yup.
It’s a good question. To your second point I totally agree. Men’s ambition almost always seems to get in the way of common sense. By the time they realize it (if they ever do), it’s too late.
That’ll get people to wear a face mask!
Most people would not believe the things my friend could make from stuff you can buy in any hardware store.
PS He’s not an active Freeper but is a lurker. And he is definitely on our side.
That said, he’s a pacifist, so no threat you government lurkers.
(Sure it’s no surprise multiple three letter agencies track all of us who are active here...)
