The hurt is here

Lethal autonomous weapons advertised on the web

Where? You laugh with derision

I say, without human supervision,

They locate, select, and engage human targets

There’s no mystery, no evil intent, no self-awareness

Just complex calculations that depend on what the machine’s camera sees

A child playing with a toy gun

A splatter of blood on the sand and she’s gone

Slaughterbots, algorithms deciding to kill human beings,

Child’s play
