Yay the murderbots are here!

We’re running out of time for a revolution before they have us fearing for our lives in our homes. Because this technology will be deployed at home sooner rather than later.

I strongly disagree with this framing.

I live in Ukraine and I am only happy to see better drone technology for fighting the russians. Every time you walk in the centre of Kyiv you see the memorial for many thousands of fallen soldiers right on the main square of the country. Any technology that saves lives and kills more russian invaders is a good thing.

If one doesn't want this tech to be misused, then the citizens of a given country need to deal with local oligarchs, corruption and crime.

In the case of the US (just one notable example out of many thousands), this would be arresting Mark Zuckerburg and his goons for enabling mass scale fraud that netted them $16B in 2024 alone.

And the scam run by Meta is the tip of the iceberg. I don't support capital punishment, but for the ennoblement of the Rohingya genocide, it would be reasonable to consider an exception for Zuckerburg and other senior thugs in the Meta criminal gang.
