      From the article

      >Nearly three years ago, the war in Ukraine began as a conflict between Ukrainian and Russian soldiers. Today, it has evolved into a battle involving humans and robots on both sides.

      >This landmark shift to robotic warfare – driven by the recent deployment of AI-enabled kamikaze drones equipped with machine vision, which can autonomously identify and attack targets – has largely gone unnoticed. Perhaps this is due to fatigue from the relentless stream of reports on drone warfare and technological advancements.

      Drones are getting better at hunting us. They ID our bodies and faces, ID the people around us, track our movements, families and friends movements, loiter over us for weeks, then kill us at the right time.

      In the future, drones will have to meet quotas. Like, they get a bonus charge if they kill over 100 people a day.

      It’s ironic that we’re so concerned about AI turning on us, while we’re using it to do so.

      You don’t need advanced AI to make a drone that can identify a human and shoot him – this was easily doable with the old generation AI technology. The problem is that it will indiscriminately shoot civilians too. I wonder how these work, maybe they give them an area in which they are to shoot everything.

      Give them a geofence and tell them to blow up anything human-shaped inside that fence. As prices drop it’ll get more and more feasible to release swarms of hundreds or thousands of drones at a time, linked together, sharing information, hunting as a group.

      It’s only a matter of time before they’re used on civilians.

      Be extremely skeptical of any article hyping up Ukranian superweapons, especially if they were provided by western defense contractors.

      Drones have made a major impact on this war, but the harshest lesson it’s taught so far is the importance of the basics over cool toys. Drones and expensive missiles are cool, but this war is being decided by tube artillery bombardments, infantry pushes, and 50-year-old tanks.

      We have to start acting now before our rulers start using this technology against us.
      If mass unemployment happens and they start threatening people with these things we need to rebel as fast as we can.
      AI should benefit everyone and AI scientists should join us.
