Too bad.
So sad.
That the white supremacists, secessionists, Christian nationalists, rentier and their tools can no longer make common cause together.
Hasn’t the time come to split the party?

I don’t like this advent of loitering munitions that are making autonomous decisions to kill, for the obvious skynet-type reasons. But I’ll point out that we already de-facto do this and have been for centuries. They’re called “mines”. At least the UAVs will run out of fuel in a predictable timeframe. Mines are not recallable.

I’m not holding my breath. They ain’t showing up in this war. Besides, if you want autonomous 24x7 coverage, just put 3 or 4 drones in rotation. Or develop in-air refueling capability.
Together with Human Rights Watch, The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots argues that autonomous weapons systems lack the human judgment necessary to distinguish between civilians and legitimate military targets.
Ya think?
