These are very different drones. The drones youre thinking of have pilots. They also minimize casualties - civilian an non - so you’re not really mad at the drones, but of the policy behind their use. Specifically, when air strikes can and cannot be authorized.
And that’s the thing about new drones, it’s not great that they can authorize themselves lol
I very strongly disagree with this statement. I believe a drone “controller” attached to every unit is a fantastic idea, and that drones having a minimal capability to engage hostile enemies without direction is going to be hugely impactful.
Well that’s a terrifying thought. You guys bunkered up?
It’s not terrifying whatsoever. In an active combat zone there are two kinds of people - enemy combatants and allies.
Your throw an RFID chip on allies and boom you’re done
Civilians? Never heard of 'em!
The vast majority of war zones have 0 civilians.
Perhaps your min is too caught up in the Iraq/Afghanistan occupations
Really? Like where are you thinking about?
The entire Ukrainian front.
I think you’re forgetting a very important third category of people…
I am not. Turns out you can pick and choose where and when to use drones.
which is why the US military has not ever bombed any civilians, weddings, schools, hospitals or emergency infrastructure in living memory 😇🤗
They chose to do that. You’re against that policy, not drones themselves.
Preeeetty sure you are. And if you can, you should probably let the US military know they can do that, because they haven’t bothered to so far.
They know. It is not important to them.

So now you acknowledge that third type of person lol. And that’s the thing about new drones, it’s not great that they can authorize themselves lol.

Oh yes it’ll be impactful, I don’t think anyone can argue that. Horrifyingly so.
I’m sorry, I can’t get past the “autonomous AI weapons killing humans part”
That’s fucking terrifying.
I’m sorry but I just don’t see why a drone is scarier than a missile strike.
Inshallah
And that’s how you garauntee conflict for generations to come!
