    A United Nations panel in Geneva remains split on whether
    to ban autonomous weapons, which don't need a human to pull
    the trigger. The war in Ukraine is complicating the conversation.

    . . .

    Let's see ... China is WAY ahead of everybody else in
    this sort of tech and has more manufacturing capacity.

    As such, this is the "Let's Tell China It Can't Build
    Killer Robots" initiative.

    Nope. China WILL push ahead and nobody can make 'em
    stop. Russia isn't as advanced, but it's not gonna
    listen to the UN wussies either.

    SO ... should the EU/USA/NATO *not* build them, and
    fall hopelessly behind the curve ?

    Sorry, can't have that, can't have a War Drone Gap.

    I read recently that China has a new gen of 'neural'
    chips just coming off the lines - two or three times
    as good but with slightly less power consumption. It
    WILL put those in next years War Drones for sure.

    Imagine a compact flying machine that can engage
    ten moving targets at the same time and NEVER miss.
    You won't have to imagine for long now .....

    Oh, and you can put such 'AI' in fighter-plane sized
    autonomous vehicles too - supersonic speed, 25-G
    maneuvers since there are no humans to squish.

    This is the future we've made - and now we have to
    live in it ... or die from acute denial.


    Progressives are treating "autonomous drones" like they treat
    other technology: as the sole source of the problem.

    IRRC, one of China's problems in the 1800s was that they had no
    reason to adopt musketry for "reasons." Till they were met by the
    Western armies which did have muskets.
