If Hollywood has taught us anything, its that this is not a good idea.
But, its interesting to think about the future of war when all combatants are automated. Is it purely a matter of resource-superiority? Or will algorithms be the main differentiator? And what about all the countries who are not even in the automated race.
- jl2718 6y agoSometimes people need to be reminded about the existence of CBRN. Maybe you can add drones to that, but it doesn’t change the fact that a single attack has been able to completely anhillate an opponent with no possibility of defense for decades now. If drones are fighting each other, it’s called entertainment, maybe propaganda, or maybe just imperial business, but not war. This sort of sporting match as a proxy for total war is common throughout history.
