Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I'm pretty sure LAWS exist right now, even without counting landmines. Automatic human targeting and friend/foe distinction aren't exactly cutting edge technologies.
The biggest joke to me is that these systems are somewhat cost-efficient on the scale of a Kalashnikov. Ukraine is investing heavily into all kinds of drones, but that is because they're trying to be casualty-efficient. And it's all operator based. No-one wants the 2M€ treaded land-drone to randomly open fire on a barn and expose its position to a circling 5k€ kamikaze drone.
