A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

MODERATORS
By the time they put something like this on the streets, they'll have done some palatability passes on it. Heck, some percentage of the voters will praise it.
"It's almost always correct in who it shoots!"
"Higher good-kill ratio than human police."
Honestly, I hope when we get robot police, it'll be for the reason that they are much better at de-escalating than any human could be trained to be. They don't have to worry about the potential consequences if they extend kindness to the wrong person at the wrong time. Human fear is tough to suppress, no matter how much training you have, but it's even harder to suppress when you have very little training and none of it focused on that.
And while robots can't empathize/sympathize with emotion, they can now recognise and act the same way that someone that does sympathize with it would. But more importantly, they can talk to a psychopath or sociopath in ways that resonate with them, rather than trying and failing to appeal to their empathy/emotions. It's tough for a neurotypical to even understand a lack of emotions or empathy.
The first models won't be great, but we already have the tech to start making something helpful in that field, and it'll only get better as we collect more data. But it's tough to put robots in any situation where the fail state could be loss of life, even if we see on paper that they avoid that result more often than humans. It just doesn't feel right anyway.
