In Just Six Months, the Future War Has Just Gotten Even Worse

Back in January of this year I wrote a post about the University of North Dakota offering the world’s first bachelor’s degree so that “pilots” can fly bomber attacks from remote control, i.e., they themselves can’t be attacked by the enemy at all. In just six months, this has gotten even worse. Now the U.S. Scare Force is planning on flying drone (i.e., unmanned) bomber planes that don’t even have any humans controlling them at all!!

“…advances in AI will enable systems to make combat decisions and act within legal and policy constraints without necessarily requiring human input.”

Of course, I believe that the people in government aren’t human to begin with, so this isn’t much of a stretch.
