Fascists will not keep you safe even if you are part of the "pure" group, fascists are incomprehensibly incompetent at war as it is a form of roleplay and perverse virtue signalling for them.

To fascists war is an arena in which they are actively hostile to the idea that professional expertise or study may be required, if you empower fascists and place them in positions of power above you during or before the outbreak of war you will get you and your loved ones killed.

There is no excuse for empowering rightwing fascists, the idea they are better at war and defending from it has been proven over and over and over again to be a hot load of bullshit.

Bad, but not as bad as it sounds at first. It's an ((Autonomous Warfare) Command)), not an (Autonomous (Warfare Command)). The latter would indeed be Stupid Skynet. If their ridiculous orbital data center idea ever actually gets built, though, housing Stupid Skynet would be its ultimate purpose. So General Grok can command the killbot army while the poors are burning every terrestrial ai data center they can find.

    That's interesting, but recent tests by a Swedish arms manufacturer included a autonomous murder drone which had a local AI model.

    I don't think Hegseth's murder drone army is going to be controlled remotely, else it would be vulnerable to signal jamming.

    By autonomous, he means they make their own decisions. Currently that's a violation of the UN, but Russia and the US are actively working together to change that in Geneva in a few months.

    The "stupid murder drone army" will be fully autonomous. We can burn every terrestrial or extraterrestrial data center in the universe, and it will have no effect on them
