And batteries that are dead in hours, so long as we can prevent them recharging and replacing each others batteries were fine. Just keep the damn bots and AI out of the military systems and we’ll be fine

I promise you the Pentagon has already spent billions working to weaponize both AI and AI derived robotics.

Their philosophy is that if a new technology even has potential military applications, they demand getting it first, best, and in larger quantities than any other nation on Earth would even consider. Our military industrial complex is the largest surpassing the Joneses continuous effort humanity exerts.

That's how we get to spending more on our military than the next 9 nations combined. That's why we have 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, France has 1, and that's all there is on Earth.

I'm not saying it's right, but it's the reality. Whatever we consumers have access to is behind what our military is testing and throwing basically infinite money at.
