Short Horror Film Friday: SLAUGHTERBOTS

Welcome to FYB’s Short Horror Film Friday featuring SLAUGHTERBOTS by Stewart Sugg, and with Real Life Commentary at End of Film By Berkley Computer Science Professor (with 30 years in AI) Stuart Russel. One of the things that Stood Out about SLAUGHTERBOTS is How Relevant it is to the Utterly Insane SHit Going On Today. What I mean simply is Slaughterbots Predates Jan 6th 2020 by little over a year: Posted Jan 17, 2019.

                    

Plot Summery:

In a Not too Far Off Future a New Form of Artificial Intelligence ( A.I.) Weaponry has been Developed. All the Slaughterbots need is a Person’s Personal Profile: Age, Sex, Hight, Weight, Eye Color, Hair Color, and Ethnicity. Nuclear Missiles have Now Become Obsolete. If You Want You can take out Your Enemy Virtually without Risk. Just Profile the Target, Release a Swarm of Slaughterbots, and Sit Back and Relax..

Slaughterbots Opens with a Silicon Valley CEO (reminiscent of Steve Jobs) Delivering a Product Presentation/Seminar in Front of a Live Audience. The Presentation seems Mundane enough at first—the CEO seems to be Unveiling some New Drone Technology, but it Takes a Dark Turn when He Demonstrates how these Autonomous Killer Drones can Slaughter Humans like Cattle utilizing a Direct “Explosive” Head Shot. The Audience Fanatically Eats it Up Hookline and Sinker as They Cheer, along with the CEO as if They hadn’t Witnessed anything more Dangerous than the unveiling of the Next iPhone. The CEO goes further, Showing Videos of the Slaughterbots in Action. “Let’s watch What Happens when the Weapons make the Decisions,” the CEO says, as the Slaughterbots proceed to Execute a Slew of People on a Humungous Screen behind Him. The CEO is quick to Assure the Audience Members that the Peopled Killed in the Demonstration Video aren’t Innocents “Now Trust Me, these are All Bad Guys.” What Follows is a Deeply Unsettling Portrait of a World where Slaughterbots use Their Onboard A.I. Technology to make Autonomous Decisions about Those Who will Live and those Who Die.

Enjoy.
