Not me, I jumped right to WWII/Cold War. While the obvious extension of the technology would be aqueous mobility because:
> Autonomy is a lot less complex in high friction environment with restricted pull of gravity and speed.
> The ocean being less spacially constrained
> less actors and objects to contend with relative to area/volume
> An extra dimension to use(if sub-surface) although this could make for more complex models to some degree, it likely would be much easier given the above points.
So this is somewhat obvious and expected, and likely being employed currently but it is pretty fucking scary, because:
> indefinite deployment of war machines
> unlimited strike capability
> no human governance for last call strike decisions
> 100% likelihood of dead-hand insurance for all nuclear nations
> attack vector, while likely insane to penetrate, would imply remote control nukes. A human may not be needed on the other end to execute a strike.
It would be awesome to use this on Europa or even deep sea exploration and research activities as we could really derisk the endeavor and also limit costs as this reaches economies of scale, I think that may be a small part of how humans employ this short term.
