      An entire category of movies saying “don’t do this exact course of actions ever”? Sounds like a good starting guide!

        But the autonomous fighter plane learned about 2000s Alt-Rock and made jokes! It’s a good guy!

        Terminator would not have been as great as it is without that soundtrack.

    I look forward to them being equipped with the ability to refuel by consuming biomass, self replicating, and having unbreakable encryption so they can’t be stopped!

    So the era of human revolutions that can overthrow the governments is now over? This is pretty scary.

    Back to feudalism soon?

    Is the US preparing for a war with China? Cuz it certainly sounds like it.

    Quote from the article:

    The Pentagon is working toward deploying swarms of thousands of AI-enabled drones, according to a notice published earlier this year.

    In a speech in August, US Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Hicks, said technology like AI-controlled drone swarms would enable the US to offset China’s People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) numerical advantage in weapons and people.

    “We’ll counter the PLA’s mass with mass of our own, but ours will be harder to plan for, harder to hit, harder to beat,” she said, reported Reuters.
