Its bc they know we won’t fight their wars much longer
Or bc there won’t be enough resources to provide for their soldiers - conquer your enemies without planning for food or shelter.
Also true, and it reduces public outcry about the war if their kids aren’t dying in it while allowing greater control of the narrative because less people in that country are seeing it.
Disastrous for my debts, because I just bought 4500 shares of anti-drone weapons manufacturer Drone shield, yee haw, c’mon cyber-future, pad my wallet with war spoils, I DGAF anymore
(My stop-loss is I will jump out a first floor window if it tanks even a fraction of a percent)
Isn’t this a given? AI is a flaming hot mess of misinformation and at times, potentially fatal advice. But why not let it have access to weapons and battlefield tactics!
Supposedly nature states that a species can’t regress. Humans are determined to prove that a lie.
Ok…let’ssay this goes EXACTLY as planned. Nothing wrong. No mistakes.
So these robots are marching towards a war in a formation of 50,000 robots.
And then the enemy releases their army of 50,000 robots.
They both shoot each other. Now there’s 100,000 broken robots in a field. Ok, now what? What did that accomplish?
And remember, that’s BEST case scenario. Where no robot malfunctions. No AI is fed garbage data. No robots are hacked. And every robot has a 1:1 kill ratio.
There’s a LOT more that can go wrong, but my main question is, how do robots fighting robots in a war do anything at all?
Wars are won by killing the enemy and breaking their stuff. By capturing and controlling land, means of production, supply and transport lines, and so on, you impose your will on your enemy and remove the capability for them to do the same to you.
Drones will be used to destroy enemy assets, take out ground troops, and maintain control of of the above mentioned resources. You’ll never just have one drone army meet another on an open field, that’s not even how human soldiers fight anymore.
that’s not even how human soldiers fight anymore.
I think it’s insane that we ever did. Who’s dumbass idea was that
Ok, now what? What did that accomplish?
Depends on whether or not the troops watching the robots get to yell racial slurs at each other over the internet while it’s going on.
I have a recommendation for the world’s militaries: check out the science fiction genre. You may be surprised at what you find out.
