Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It's already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don't seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don't care, and their leaders' leaders don't care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.

Fascist fuck

Hypothetically, if Larry was eaten, would other billionaires be on their best behavior and stop positing fascist control mechanisms?

That's a testable hypothesis.

Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.
