    You know what’s been increasing at an alarming rate? Soft-target drones.

    You know those light shows in China? Those are like the moon landings; “hey look what we can do, don’t fight us”. America is not showcasing these, but it was the first to start stockpiling them.

    If humans remain “in control” there will eventually be an agreement on AI murder drones being used on human targets. Like nukes, everyone will stockpile them so no one uses them on people.

    Before this happens though, there needs to be a Hiroshima to wake everyone up and move them to act. I’m not advocating this, merely pointing to history.

    Right now, the biggest contenders for where our “AI Hiroshima” will occur, are on any of the “races” Israel is bent on genociding, or on the American public when lord diapers feels he’s finally up against a wall, or already almost dead from his ongoing health complications.

    Actually that’s a silver lining to Hormuz I hadnt thought of, so thanks for that. At the rate Raytheon builds patriots we have a couple of years now. Hopefully mango mussolini will be dead before they’re ready to invade Greenland

      Ammo and weapons go bad in storage. Need to use up the piles or there won’t be room to store the new batches being constantly pumped out.

      MIC stocks go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
