PLAYING DARPA: SHOOT TO KILL ROBOTS, AND FIRST CONTACT PROTOCOLS

I hope this one grabs you like it really grabbed me, when it was first sent to me by a friend of mine in the U.K., Mr. D.W.... read this one carefully folks, and see if the same thing leaps off the page at you, as it does me:

Shoot to Kill: Autonomous Robots Developed By DARPA Will Not Question Orders

The boundless amorality and bottomless insanity gripping DARPA - and remember, this is what we know about - seems to know no limits, and indeed, I blogged just a few days ago about a phenomenon that, in our private discussions while writingTranshumanism: A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas, Dr de Hart and I could only qualify as the militarization of transhumanism. And now we have killer robots...

But now I hope you're catching the implication of all that I've been writing the past few days about the growing efforts to corporatize manned space exploration, and the inevitable collateralization of our celestial neighbors that this will bring, and with it, the inevitable militarization of space, for now we discover what I contend is another piece of the technological capabilities being developed for precisely this purpose, for you'll note in this article the participation of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in this research and development.

Now we must speculate, but I hope, to a purpose.

A few days ago when blogging about this militarization of transhumanism and the programmable drones and robots that are inevitably going to become as regular a part of human life as the computers on our desktops now,  I raised the specter of the possibility of programming robots in such a way as to "profile" intended targets, based upon age, genetic makeup, or some other parameter. Suppose, now, these same robots are being intended for advanced space exploration and "decision-making...." What if such robots would encounter an extraterrestrial being whose DNA did not match the parameters programmed?

Would this entity then be considered a target? or not? Could we find ourselves, inadvertently, in a war with such entities because of a programming error?

Or worse... are these robots being developed because they are already needed off this world? As this article suggests: "A force of robotic “peacekeepers” that are programed to become violent without remorse – will enable the government to organize and act where human law enforcement and/or trained soldiers may hesitate." Indeed, and one wonders why such robots are being developed by NASA... it does raise questions, and implications, and none of them, in my opinion, are terribly good...

See you on the flip side.

    Hey Jedi, Archons can “hear” the tone of your DNA. That is how they hunt-down their enemies.

      nidster, that has a ring of truth to it.

    “What if such robots would encounter an extraterrestrial being whose DNA did not match the parameters programmed”- very good question-

    I dunno, folks, but I still believe we are continuously being told to look in the wrong direction- we should be looking down instead of up-

    consider me crazy if you wish, but has anyone ever asked themselves why NAVAL intelligence has priority over any other military intelligence?- there’s a reason for everything-

    we are constantly being told to watch the sky when maybe we should be observing terra firma + the oceans (as if anyone of us has really been informed about what is really available at “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”- not to mention “Journey to the Center of the Earth”- was Jules Verne a complete nut-case with an overly-vivid imagination or was he possibly an initiate who disguised truth with over-the-top fiction?)-

    so why were the Nazis so obsessed with exploring the underground in the Himalayas/Andes?- stupid white Aryans with nothing better to do?- maybe/maybe not-

    I don’t think William Cooper invented his naval-experienced testimonies as stated in “Behold a Pale Horse”- there’s something else going on out there and it “ain’t” exclusively in the skies-

    I don’t have the definitive answer as none of us do- but we must consider every possibility- the only thing I’m sure of is the world is NOT what we’ve been told it is-

    hope all are well-

    Larry



    • Robert Barricklow on September 22, 2012 at 5:45 pm

      There is that.
      And, within the same line of “thinking”; or’ perhaps running parallel; looking in, instead of out; or, in between, instead of with “eyes wide open”.
      In other words, aq twilight zone –
      [a]nother dimension[s].



    • HAL838 on September 22, 2012 at 6:41 pm

      “I don’t have the…answer as none of us do-…”

      You occupy 7 billion minds, Larry?
      Almost everyone here has presumed to speak for
      everyone on Earth…at one time or another.
      How can that be…habitual solipsism…
      YOU are the mind of all?

      My thesis spoke to this problem of ignorance,
      presumption and ass/umption of a majority taking
      the HIGH [and mighty] road, the WIDE road, when even
      a minority of one on the lonely, narrow road
      can turn out to be right.

      Those who presume to speak for others [everyone?no less?]
      are often (no, usually) very, very wrong.
      THEY become the first rat behind the pied piper.



      • LSM on September 23, 2012 at 11:52 am

        I hardly occupy 7 billion minds- no, I’m not the mind of all nor do I try to speak for others- my point was I just don’t think anyone of us is privy to all the info out there- anyone who thinks they already have all the info out there is truly the rat behind the pied piper- none of us know everything



        • HAL838 on September 23, 2012 at 1:02 pm

          No, but some can know more than others,
          if willing to pay the price, which is necessarily
          an amount of responsibility, or as I sometimes
          think of it, response ability.

          When you say that “NONE” of us do,
          it sure sounded like YOU were speaking
          for ALL of those minds….
          I can’t speak to, or for THAT either,.

          What I have learned is that the devil really
          is in the details, and I’m still learning those
          details and a whole lot more.



          • LSM on September 24, 2012 at 5:54 am

            “What I have learned is that the devil really is in the details, and I’m still learning those details and a whole lot more”- you and me both- I think that’s why we’re both visiting this website-

            peace- Larry

            Actually, Dr Farrell has strayed considerably from
            his earlier interests as written in his “Giza Death Star”
            trilogy as it was his earlier work that sent me into
            so much related research of my own.
            AND
            Much of what I have posted here that (ironically)
            no one seems to believe, is the result of all that
            related research.
            That would seem quite strange (?)
            AND YET
            The only thing that can explain that satisfactoriy



          • HAL838 on September 24, 2012 at 8:35 am

            satisfactorily … IS EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE POSTED HERE
            that no one seems to [want {?} to ]
            believe !



          • Nidster - on September 25, 2012 at 12:08 am

            HAL838…Keep posting…refine your tone….stay on topic…thick skin is a virtue because everyone has an opinion and point of view.



          • HAL838 on September 25, 2012 at 5:05 am

            To use a word, Nidster,
            MY
            PERSPECTIVE IS
            IS WRIT LARGE



          • HAL838 on September 25, 2012 at 5:23 am

            Larry,
            you are still doing it:
            DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME



    • amrta on September 25, 2012 at 7:21 am

      Dear LSM,
      You are absolutely on the right track. Factor in also the recent massive military buildup near the North Pole in the Canadian Arctic, ostensibly to protect underwater oil and mineral resources in the area, but which even the Canadian press is has difficulty accepting.
      The powers-that-be love the whole extraterrestrial tag to the UFO phenomenon. It keeps people looking up instead of down.
      When we understand what is below, we will understand the hidden history of the human species. Then we will face the terrible secret not of human evolution, but of human devolution.
      This is one of the reasons those in the know consider that Disclosure is not an option.
      Having lost a great war a very long time ago, the surface of the earth and those who dwell thereon were ceded to the invaders. As their property, we have served as a resource for genetic material and genetic manipulation. Hence, human devolution for the surface dwellers.
      This is the story that can never be told.
      Those below look on with compassion, but can only do so much at this point.



      • HAL838 on September 25, 2012 at 8:23 am

        The Gods are back,
        as everyone seems to expect,
        but you’re all still looking in and to the ‘left’
        and wrong direction

    What if an entity who appeared human in every regard accept for the difference in a DNA design installed thru unknown forced breeding projects done by non-humans was involved with said robot? This, assuming the Robot had the ability to read said DNA…



  4. Jedi on September 22, 2012 at 8:28 am

    The programmed destroys the programmer…a little nip and duck and off with your head.

    “What if such robots would encounter an extraterrestrial being whose DNA did not match the parameters programmed? Would this entity then be considered a target? or not? Could we find ourselves, inadvertently, in a war with such entities because of a programming error?”

    • We already have PEOPLE who behave in that way, and have had them for aeons. Their problem is not as easily solvable as a “programming error.”
    • Humans have been doing “ethnic cleansing” on other humans throughout history into the present because of some undesired “parameter” they have whether genetic, religious, ideological, etc.

    “As this article suggests: “A force of robotic “peacekeepers” that are programed to become violent without remorse – will enable the government to organize and act where human law enforcement and/or trained soldiers may hesitate.”

    • I have already witnessed (and dealt with) human beings who can become violent without remorse
    • While there were “hesitant” and “remorseful” Nazis traipsing about Europe and the Soviet Union; but they certainly did not do much to reduce the slaughter of untermenschen by other non-hesitant true-believer Nazis.

    “Robotism” in human beings is wide-spread in law enforcement, the military, the health insurance bureaucracy, all levels of education, public health, Congress, …..

    Any kind of development brings new problems. We will always have to vigilant of potential problems. I sometimes feel that there is an expectation that we will someday have a development in science that we won’t have to be vigilant of. But this is an unreasonable expactation.

    Greetings from Dr. Strangelove’s neighborhood…
    Well, as MAD magazine noted a few years ago: “If 90% of all scientists who have ever lived are alive right now, then so are 90% of all mad scientists!”

    Who knows. Maybe a bunch of bored billionaires wants to play live Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots in space.

    Or maybe even the small effort it takes to care about veterans of the de facto economic draft, which includes several members of my family, isn’t worth it. Some of them do go on and on, complaining to Congress. A few have dared to question the agenda of their betters within the econopathic empire and its legions.

    Throw away a broken robot and no one has to fake concern.

    I would be looking more to the home planet
    than outwards towards the heavens.
    It is like a man looking for evil, through a telescope pointing to the heavens; when it is right in his own backyard, under his telescope, in plain sight.

    The danger is not that you will be invaded,
    it is that you have been invaded.

      An excellent work, on this subject, has been published, appropriately entitled,

      Killer Robots by Arim Krishnan



      • MQ on September 21, 2012 at 4:50 pm

        Also from Phillip K. Dick, I think it was called The Second Variant. He takes the robotic warrior to its logical conclusion…

    NASA (Nazi) robots looking for DNA specific enemies? You said it, not me.

    “You can live a perfectly decent life not being Jewish,” says Charles Bronfman, “but I think you’re losing a lot — losing the kind of feeling you have when you know [that] throughout the world there are people who somehow or other have the same kind of DNA that you have.” (“Project Reminds Young Jews of Heritage,”
    The Washington Post, Jan. 17, 2000, p. A19)

    off planet robot wars would make one heck of a reality show.
