Correct. AI drones that can kill is the goal here.

No doubt about it. There IS no logical reasoning the trajectory will change.

But try to inform the population....

Eh, there's like five other catastrophes between now and then...

Right now it's 100% an inevitability, but if we fix the shit that will fuck us before that does, we can just fix that at the same time.

Like knowing eventually the sun will run out of helium causing it to grow in size and destroy the entire planet. It sucks, but we got more pressing matters.

Don't waste energy warning people about Skynet, focus on getting rid of billionaires. If we just stop the killbots, the oligarchs will just kill us a different way.

Killbots just leave a better planet behind than nukes or viruses
