Testing armed robot dogs in the Middle East instead of the US is pretty telling.
Can't be accidentally murdering Americans with a software glitch.
Which is wild when you add perspective using facts like the police in the US are less disciplined than troops overseas and tbe US still uses substances banned by the Geneva Convention on its civilian population. So if even the US wwon't test it on their own people, it's bad.
Listen, the Geneva convention only specifies what we can't use on enemies, okay? As long as the targets are technically friendlies, it's fair game!
/s funnily stats that is actually true
GC is for war and soldiers are combatants and not criminals by default (switching can happen easily). As an example Hollowpoint against criminals is okay as it can protect surrounding bystanders.
It's a bit weird, but for countries war is different from domestic problems.
Is that not what I said but less tongue-in-cheek?
"Testing facility" in Gaza, just like how Israel do.
Really has a strong "testing in production" vibe
OceanGate-style.

Oh hell this one is even worse than OceanGate
Don't worry, no danger of killing real people in the Middle East. All the "collateral damage" will be brown people, not Americans. They'll have all the kinks ironed out and will make sure that the AI doesn't hurt white targets before the technology is distributed to every national police district.
I wish this post even deserved a /s.
"Accidentally."
