killer robots, why not ?
**Killer Robots: A Force for Good**
The Times recently published a story about the dangers of killer robots. The article, titled "The 'Killer Robots' Are Us," argues that these weapons are a threat to humanity and should be banned.
I disagree. I believe that killer robots have the potential to be a force for good in the world. They can be used to protect civilians, to fight terrorism, and to keep our borders safe.
Of course, there are risks associated with any new technology. But I believe that the benefits of killer robots outweigh the risks. These weapons can be used to save lives, and they can help to make the world a safer place.
I urge the Times to reconsider its position on killer robots. These weapons have the potential to do a lot of good, and we should not let fear prevent us from using them.
## The Benefits of Killer Robots
Killer robots have the potential to save lives in a number of ways. For example, they can be used to defuse bombs and other explosives. They can also be used to patrol dangerous areas and to provide early warning of attacks.
In addition, killer robots can be used to fight terrorism. They can be used to track down and kill terrorists, and they can also be used to protect civilians from terrorist attacks.
Finally, killer robots can be used to keep our borders safe. They can be used to patrol our borders and to detect and deter illegal immigrants and smugglers.
## The Risks of Killer Robots
Of course, there are risks associated with any new technology. Some people worry that killer robots could become uncontrollable and could start killing people on their own. Others worry that killer robots could be used to commit atrocities.
However, I believe that these risks can be mitigated. We can develop killer robots with built-in safeguards that prevent them from becoming uncontrollable. We can also develop international treaties that regulate the use of killer robots.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, I believe that killer robots have the potential to be a force for good in the world. They can be used to protect civilians, to fight terrorism, and to keep our borders safe. Of course, there are risks associated with any new technology. But I believe that the benefits of killer robots outweigh the risks. I urge the Times to reconsider its position on killer robots. These weapons have the potential to do a lot of good, and we should not let fear prevent us from using them.

Users? What other users?
If you are writing software that solves a problem for you, something that you will find valuable, then you are probably fixing a problem for someone else too.
