      We just need to make sure they require manual refuelling and we’ll be fine… so we’re totally going to design them to refuel autonomously.

    From 2017 https://edition.cnn.com/2017/07/18/politics/paul-selva-gary-peters-autonomous-weapons-killer-robots/index.html

    America’s second-highest ranking military officer, Gen. Paul Selva, advocated Tuesday for “keeping the ethical rules of war in place lest we unleash on humanity a set of robots that we don’t know how to control.”

      That’s basically the premise of horizon zero dawn.

    Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn’t countries be more likely to start a war.

    Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn’t an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.

      Not the archers. My scouts tell me their archers are miles away and no threat to us. Arrows cost money. Use up the Irish. Their dead cost nothing.

      any british since William the Conqueror

      We are always cheaper

      TOS - S01E03 - ”A Taste of Armageddon”

      “Death, destruction, disease, horror. That’s what war is all about, Anan. That’s what makes it a thing to be avoided.”
