    War has been a part of the human experience since the beginning of civilization. But new technologies are changing the face of warfare in ways that we never really expected. From cyberwarfare to autonomous AI-piloted drones to space warfare, the future of war is weird. And terrifying.

      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.

    Armed conflict is good for business as long as the conflicts can be contained outside your own country and the countries of your main trading partners. If you live in a G8 nation, Russia or China (or other nuclear power not included in the above) you'll never have to worry about being directly attacked by any other nations in that group. The wars being fought now are mainly asymmetrical between neighboring developing countries or within developing and third world countries, as per design.

    A minor thing that I think needs pointed out regarding the Slaughterbots short film - I don't know if this is still the case, but shortly after it released, the highest upvoted comments were *REALLY* ignorant of how that technology would work. There were a lot of hur dur "one rainstorm and the whole swarm is defeated" or "Easy solution, just activate an EMP and they're dead", which people just accepted uncritically.

      @user-wi3yx3gy2o 2 года назад +4

      Well they literally programmed that in knowing that if everyone’s algos did the same thing it would be profitable on the way down, and then also profitable on the way up because of the opposite type of momentum trading and because it creates buying opportunities for value and trading range strategies. Now they don’t intend for these things to lead to a flash crash , much less a 1989-style market failure liquidity collapse, largely because some of the same people financing algo trading are market makers or are in the business of managing funds and ETFs and what not, which means either they might be hurt by public panic or under future participation, or simply because they maintain inventory. Not to mention many of these companies are or are financed by public companies. Still the game is not outthinking the market, so much as generating market power by stochastic collusion (if we all buy together, the market will go up and push out previous holding up, and then we can do the same in reverse). Now, it is illegal to do this by actually colluding, but programming algos which do the same thing on very narrow price range, is not as yet illegal so long as there is more looking over each other’s shoulders phenomenon or predicting what the boys will do going on than agreement collusion. Fortunately, they seem to have taken more care to avoid flash crash potential, but it’s like an arms race because the more you risk flash crashes, the more money you can make.

    a lot of airframes have a g limit that goes up or down depending on what they're carrying. an F-16 pilot can easily over g his jet just by pulling 6 G's with bombs attached

      Typically if a pilot pulls over 5G's or more during a flight and it wasn't due to a scheduled exercise or some such, he van expect to be paying for the ground crew's beer for a month at the very least, since over G requires practically disassembling and reassembling the fighter afterwards.

      right, but since a UAV doesnt need the weight of all the crap to support and interface with a pilot, it has less mass for the same loadout. that means more speed for a given g force turn or a sharper maneuver for the same g.

      The problem isn't the G-limit of the airframe, it's the G-limit of the pilot. And without the pilot, you now have the opportunity to build an airframe which has a much higher G-limit... and actually get to use that to its fullest potential.

There is a ‘Outer Space Treaty’ that basically in a nutshell says space is for everyone, all celestial bodies and the moon are for peaceful purposes only BUT does allow military activity in space including ‘Space Force’. It is still prohibited to take weapons of mass destruction to space, establishing military bases and more. So I think we can all sleep well knowing that at least we won’t be taking war to space!

      Subject matter such as this is the primary reason Mass majority do not vote. Well generally perhaps not the most popular reason, but it is easy to consider as a good reason. Generally I believe it boils down to people just will not stop being racist or addicted to something that is illegal, that collectively fuels the downfall of our logical integrity.

      Except that in that case a drone has little advantage over a guy with a machete and balaclava. If the people in charge want somebody in their country dead they don't need a drone to do it. Modern tech is extremely dangerous to political dissenters, but more because of the surveillance aspect than it being easier to kill them. They already rely on soft defences (international and domestic political fallout), and those work no differently against drones.
      The capitol example was chosen because it illustrates how much it affects an insurgent force. They extend the capabilities of insurgent forces far more than 'security' forces that already have control over a region.

      Agreed. You have 100s of deadly riots by Antifa/BLM - and the biggest threat is the capitol riot ? Did anyone set the capitol on fire ? (NO) Did anyone break statues and vandalize/grafiti it ? (NO) And the only person who was killed, was an unarmed female protester climbing through a window....

      It has supreme advantage. If it's AI controlled, based on facial recognition, it removes the entire need of convincing many soldiers to murder citizens, and the fewer people needed to murder citizens, the more likely it is to happen. It also acts as a layer of separation between the killers and the killing, making it psychologically easier to kill, and improving optics by not having any visible targets to blame for the killing.

    The justification for such developments is always that it is for defense against The Bad Guys.
    The big problem is that the definition of "The Bad Guys" is extremely changeable.
    e.g. as soon as you oppose further development in this field, you become one of the bad guys.

    Sadly, a feature of human nature: "They've got it. We want it." Whether motivated by envy, avarice , jealousy or hatred,, war will be difficult, if not impossible, to eradicate.
