>>12905576>a mass surveillance state would be a good thingWell, if you hold that opinion then you lack understanding of human nature, history and logic. This wouldn't be your father or a loved one watching over you, but instead a faceless corporation or government who may profit from your losses or personal information. Regardless this will help some and "harm" others socially, and have many incalculable results as well including new types of mental illness.
Oh, and by espionage I meant straight forwards operations in foreign lands, nothing special, although if we have learned anything from the backdoors the NSA has into our CPU's allowing them to edit microcode and access files, well, it might end badly if the state has the same backdoors into these bots and happens to hate you for whatever reason.
If you want a glimpse into current and future spytech study and extrapolate from the concept of "variance based radio tomographic imaging". In short it allows for the real time monitoring of 3D spaces between two or more radio signals (including wifi and cellular signals). So using linked networks you could monitor vast areas as long as they have enough electromagnetic energy to overcome the interference from objects making walls irrelevant to observation. Scary stuff, if you value privacy and personal safety.
Anyhow, I doubt these bots will convince *all* men to leave women alone, but the loneliest ones probably would stop caring about women completely, male or female.
The biggest concern with the bots would be hacking, murder and theft, but I am sure there will be ways to somewhat prevent that as well.
I need to get some rest now, so farewell, and I hope the future turns out for the best, for all of us.
