A horrible hint of the Sarajevo Safaris
An HR manager paying 15k to kill people remotely seems fitting.
Ofc it's fucking Sara from HR. She always had that look in her eye.
puts away credit card
Ah yes, satire, haha yes....
You round up the right gamers and you can grief Russia into rage quitting the war.
Ender's Game shit.
I could so see them chopping up a person, spreading their entrails in the hope to grow into a tree.
Oh wait you mean the controlling the simulation thing, my bad
That only works after the war is over and you have time to reflect on your role in genocide.
Man that series went off the rails fast
Yeah such a strong start then just crazy. Still I really enjoyed the books but it certainly felt unrelated.
Kinda reminds me of the Alastair Reynolds books. Very interesting but only vaguely connected
I wouldn’t feel comfortable attacking people, because there’s no telling if they’re viscous killers or involuntary, reluctant draftees. Sign me up to attack a grounded plane, though. Especially if it’s a rare, expensive one!
Viscosity is a range anyways
They're more viscous than water. More vicious, too.
You can try drone interceptors then. There's new tech that allows pilots to control them hundreds of kilometers away
You jest, but a Texan company created an internet controlled rifle turret over 20 years ago. There was talk of using it for hunting, but I don't know if that went anywhere. The jump from that to hunting humans with flying drones is more one of morality than technology.
Also, in a similar vein, there are reports about wealthy people going to Bosnia in the '90s during the war on safaris to kill people. So the concept of allowing random civilians to participate is not without precedent either.
If GTA6 VR sells well wealthy ppl will be able to do that in USA by charting one of them fancy robots.
That's seriously fucked up
Don't worry, it's not real.
I know, or there would have been several expletives
At the least!
Yet
That doesn't even hold a candle to the mobile crematoriums that were deployed early in the war.
It's not a competition, but the people who "buy" this "service" are not involved in the war in any way, they have zero reason aside from mental illness to participate in it. It's seriously fucked.
Killing people is not a sport, even in war it shouldn't be done lightly, no matter who's the taeget. Check yourselves.
checks self
Wow! After some self-examination I was surprised to discover that I actually have zero problem with anyone killing fascists, for any reason, and in any manner! I was also surprised to discover that I have a negative opinion toward anyone who thinks that's a problem!
Yeah sure, let's keep on exterminating poor people, while also giving rich fucks a chance to hunt them for sport, that's absolutely fine.
There's a difference between fighting an invader because you have to, and paying just to kill someone, putting yourself willingly in a situation you had no need to be in.
Luckily it's just a meme.
I mean if this were real those people were going to die anyway so it's not exactly a blood spot.
That's so completely beside the point I wouldn't even know where to start, but let's ignore that, would it be ok for you to pay for the privilege of killing a death row inmate?
Isn't that the whole point though? They're going to die anyways so the method by which they die is irrelevant. It certainly has nothing to do with any decision that I may make.
From a moral point of view nothing has changed, death has occurred but it was always going to occur.

It has. Something unpleasant that could arguably be a necessary evil, became a source of pleasure for disturbed individuals.
Lol.
Completely wiffing the point of how fucked this invasion by Russia is that paying to kill an infantry soldier with a drone is orders of magnitude less of a war crime than the top of the list.
As I wrote, I don't think it's a competition in fucked-up-ness.
There is plenty of military imfrastructure to destroy, it doesn't have to be people.
Wolverines!
Much of the Ukraine war is already crowdfunded. Crowdsourcing the fighting is a logical next step. The future will be great!

Getting closer and closer to slaughter bots...
