Yeah there’s a real risk of a blitzkrieg sort of situation where some country builds a drone army that just picks a traditional army apart on the battlefield.

Eventually someone is going to cut the cord and have truly autonomous armed vehicles and whoever does it first is going to have a tremendous tactical advantage.
- Razengan 9y agoWhy do people only talk about weapons of mass destruction and dominance in these discussions? Why is Big, Bad & Heavy seen as the only way to win wars and worlds? I'd say the first group who thinks outside that box would have a major advantage: – Artificial viruses and other biological/nanotechnological infectious agents that only your side has an "antidote" or immunity for, to "cleanly" wipe out everyone else but you, without causing physical damage to cities/infrastructure/terrain. — Insect-like drones the size of flies or mosquitos that you remotely control to inject poison directly into individual enemy leaders, shutting them down before they can form or command a military opposition. – Having a permanent presence on the Moon so that some of you can survive in case of the whole world going tits up due to events you cannot control or plan for.
