Modern technologies like AI and robotic weapons are similar to World War I's chemical gases and airplanes. Like in the 1930s "air superiority" became a phrase, "drone superiority" or "robot superiority" will be a phrase to describe modern warfare.
Hopefully politics, sociology, psychology, and economics will have evolved enough in the past 100 years so we don't face the losses that were experienced in the first half the 20th century.
That is awesome and terrifying.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoYou need more than just capability : a guided missile counts as a robotic weapon after all, and we've had them since the 1940s/50s. So what is different in practice here ? Them becoming much cheaper / smaller / more accurate ? (See Ukraine vs Russia.) (When does this compensate for lower payload and speed ?) Meaning also much more accessible to terrorists ? (And the suicide kind, since the government will find you. But then real suicide terrorists I would assume would find it much more appealing to do it by themselves, since that comes with a promise of paradise, virgins, you know the drill...)
