This is a quote from real life, not from just a movie:
Robots and drone warfare are going to frick us all up.
quote:
“The Chinese Communist Party is the biggest threat we face ... We cannot allow these robots to become predominant in our country,” John Moolenaar, a Republican congressman, said this week.

Seems unavoidable at this point you’re going to have robot/drone armies powered by AI. Don’t see how it could possibly not happen. Weird world man.

We’re in the beginning of the movie when the news is on in the background showing the lead up to disaster.

This is pretty hard to take seriously. A congressman who founded something called "The House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party" claims that robots will destroy the world.
First of all, I've never heard of a worse named congressional committee in my life. Congress is terrible at naming things. But "The House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party" is a pretty cringeworthy name even by Congressional standards. John Moolenaar has even worse naming skills than whatever ancestor of his chose the last name "Moolenaar".
Second of all, people have been claiming that robots will destroy the world for like 100 years now, and it's never happened.

Our protagonist is the poorest OT member. He’s kissing his 9.1/10 wife goodbye after she cooked him a full breakfast. He’s about to head to the office for 1 hour of work as an expert witness in rare posions. He takes a look at the screen and shakes his head, “they’re always saying some shite about AI, but everything’s going to be okay honey” He kisses his daughter Beerleigh on the head and heads out to his G-Wagon.

Reactions to robots are like those of a drone and I am inclined to think it proper to haul out that 870 with buckshot, but our government considers it a crime to shoot one. So the Castle doctrine might not help in your defense.
Property Rights: Under current U.S. law, robots are considered property, not legal persons. Therefore, damaging or destroying a robot is treated similarly to destroying other personal property, with charges often determined by the value of the device (e.g., felony if over the state’s property threshold, typically $500–$2,500).
Aircraft Classification: If the robot is a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), it is legally classified as an aircraft by the FAA. Shooting down a drone is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 32, punishable by up to 20 years in prison, regardless of property value or privacy concerns.
Self-Defense Limits: The Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws do not authorize the use of deadly force against robots, as these protections apply only to imminent threats from human beings.

There is some frickery coming, especially from an economic standpoint.
I just don’t see how things continue trucking along at the current pace with all of the sociopolitical changes we are seeing globally, on top of the technological changes predicted to occur in the workplace.
It is a little weird how chaotic all facets of society appear to be.

Speaking of drones, there’s this drone delivery service in north Houston that has these big drones landing near the roadway. I was at a red light and assumed I was witnessing a plane performing an emergency landing when it was coming to its base station.

It's gonna be like Caesar in the collusieum watching the "robots" or slaves fight. I'm told we will have these bots going all over the place fighting so none of us ever has to. I'd rather bots doing the dirty work but it goes far deeper than some simple thing of bots fighting.

Yikes, that law is quickly becoming outdated.
Imagine an armed drone hunting you down and a judge says defending yourself is a felony. I don't see how that could possibly be sensible

I already have a sledge to swing at it. I have been eyeing the flamethrower...I know it's metal but I'm sure that's a problem for wires and sensors. Where can I get an EMP?

That's Obtuse1. You can tell by the watch.

This has been said time and time again all throughout history by every generation or two.
Everyone forgets about the 1960s. If you wanna talk about chaos I can tell you all about it but it seems like the collective consciousness has forgot all about that.
It's gonna be OK Sonny boy. They just trying to scare you so they can mold you however they want to so you will be useful.
