I really dislike this "autonomous sci-fi slaughterbot" framing of the article. That's not what's happening here. Glueing a Raspberry Pi to a drone to run image recognition on it is effectively democracticing smart lock-on capacities that expensive missiles have had for decades. That certainly has implications for warfare but not for autonomy in the sense that the article talks about. You're not gonna suddenly run into drone swarms gone rogue without humans in the loop because compute on retail drones is now fast enough to be able to lock on a tank. It's one of those things again where people think "AI" is magic and somehow hasn't been used in military targetting systems for ages.
