Pentagon seeks 'ethicist' to oversee military artificial intelligence

Come on, developing killing machines that one day will probably wipe out life as we know it causing you some anxiety?
The author at the closing of the article take a small blurb from a defense contractor think tank, and I quote "“AI ethicists at the Pentagon would have to be capable of supporting the entire breadth of AI applications all the way from when is it acceptable to use artificial intelligence in a weapons system to how do we think about the acceptable and appropriate uses of personnel data.”
Sheppard suggested that the new appointee should be willing to “get their hands dirty” by visiting the frontline." Having an AI access to my personal data just seems a little extreme doesn't it?  Having a AI drone determine which village should or should not survive is one thing but we don't want competition with facebook when it comes to what a computer knows about me or at least before it kills me.

I Hate Self Checkout!

So, am I the only person mad at Wally World (aka Walmart) for adding more self check out isles.  Even, Sam's club has a dual program where you can self check out or you can download an app and scan your items to check out faster. 
Two, huge problems with this.  The first is that I am taking over the labor cost of a multibillion dollar company.  They sale this as expediting your time, so you don't have to wait in line at the check out.  Am I being paid for my labor, because last I checked I have to pay to use Sam's.  Also, there has not been a noticeable decrease in prices at both Walmart and Sam's to justify me doing there work for them. 
The second and truly the issue that I get really mad at, is that all of this self check out are taking jobs.  If you have ever had to the need to shop at either store, you will notice that it is not just young high school aged kids working there.  An observation in my limited bubble, there are probably an equal number, if not more older adults working in Walmart, with about a 70 30, toward younger at Sam's.
These are the folks being hurt by automation, these low skilled labor jobs.  I understand when people like to state how the system will self regulate and everyone should get ahead or get a good deal.  What actually happens is they cut hours, and make greater profit margins that rarely get passed onto the consumer.
At this moment I still believe in my country!
