NSA Surveillance to be turned over to computers.
Here's my thing - we're looking at a potential Skynet situation here. And I think to myself, "Self - How would one defend oneself from attacks by Quantum computer-controlled drones?" The obvious answer being via a large EMP - such as one created by a nuclear weapon detonated at high altitude.
One of the biggest arguments I hear from gun control advocates is "Well, there obviously has to be SOME control. I mean, we can't let private citizens have, like, nuclear weapons, RIGHT?" And this is exactly why those people are wrong.
I'm not saying there should be NO control over something as powerful as a nuclear weapon, but consider this scenario for a second. We aren't even 100% sure we understand how Quantum computing works. Say this thing does become self-aware, or just plain goes haywire. It has control of our nation defense and surveillance systems, including control over our nuclear deployment system.
So now we've got Quantum computer-controlled drones flying around the countryside, raping your churches, burning your women, and you're running around on fire screaming, "Oh my God, help us! Who's going to save us from these Quantum Computer-controlled Drones!"
Well, guess what? I can't. Because you wouldn't let me have a nuke.
