Killer robots aren’t sci-fi. They’re weapons that pick a target and attack it with no human making the final call. On 16–20 Nov, governments meet in Geneva to decide whether to finally write rules for them. Here's what you need to know 🧵

Geneva, 16–20 Nov. This is the moment. At the CCW Review Conference, governments decide: start negotiating a treaty, or keep talking forever. 42 countries say they’re ready (Sept 2025). The UN chief and Red Cross warn we’re “dangerously close to crossing a moral red line.”

Where does your government stand? 🇫🇷 France: signed the Sept 2025 statement saying it's ready to negotiate. Hold them to it. 🇩🇪 Germany: also signed. Make them follow through. 🇬🇧 UK: didn't sign and has opposed new international law on this.

Who goes to jail when the robot screws up? The programmer? The commander? The company? The robot? The laws of war still apply. But once a machine makes the call, pinning blame on a person gets really hard. That's the accountability gap. For some, though, it's a feature.

Follow the money 💰 $100B+ in venture capital to defense tech startups, 2021–2023 💰 Microsoft, Amazon, and Google: $28B+ in military and intelligence contracts, 2018–2022 No rules means no limits on what they can build and sell. Isn't that interesting?

“But that’s just sci-fi, right?” Nope. Libya, 2020: a UN report says Kargu-2 drones may have hunted down retreating fighters on their own. Ukraine and Russia, now: some drones finish the job themselves when jamming cuts off their pilot. No confirmed autonomous kill. Yet.

Machines are bad at being human. A drone can't reliably tell someone surrendering from someone attacking, a kid with a toy from a fighter with a rifle, or a wedding from a war zone. It sees heat, shapes, and data. And its training data has baked-in gaps and biases.
