To kill more people, whilst taking even lower risks themselves.
They probably wouldn't write the software themselves -- they'd get it from e.g. some supportive dictatorship
(With "them", I'm personally not thinking about the talibans, but other groups)
- bb88 5y agoI just think about the history of war, and it was already pretty brutal without software. I don't see how software changes that equation. More brutal than what? Sarin gas? Nuclear weapons? Truck Bombs? Strapping bombs onto children?
- cutemonster 5y agoI didn't say it'd be more brutal. Cheaper and more accessible though. Not many people can build or buy their own nukes or sarin gas.
