It likely is the future, same as bombs once were, that doesnt mean we allow people to go about clusterbombing residential neighbourhoods you know? If you cannot predict the inpact, if you cannot minimize collateral damage reliably, then it isnt tech that is ready for the front lines. There's a reason we ban biological warefar, even though its even more effective than AI driven weapons. So, what the fuck? Why are we deciding this isn't worth regulating?

The more of this shit i see, the gross incompetence, the total lack of reverence for human life, the more I see a butlerian jihad as the only viable option.

A tool is a tool, and abuse of a tool, intentional or by gross incompetance should not earn a free pass because the tech is new.

We need to hold people accountable for their action/inaction.

I suspect the truth is, that in a war of equal super powers, the winner will decide what was ethical and right.
