Why do I feel like I’ve just stepped into the Terminator origin story?

In a world ravaged by climate change these A.I. driven machines are going to get a workout. There will be no tired, huddled masses; just corpses.

If a corpse materializes next to you, well that was a high value target selected by a drone. If you are knocked to the ground by a bunker buster bomb dropped 10 km away, those are the chattel for whom discrimination was too inconvenient. It will be very likely that you are in that league and will face the same fate.

I'm sure this ties into the Drone sightings over New Jersey in Nov/Dec 2024. Probably doing some testing of the capabilities.

Palmer Luckey is Ginger Luckey’s brother, right? So Matt Gaetz’s brother in law? How convenient for his company.

The entire time I was reading this, all I could think about was how Trump said last week that blue states are going to "disappear off the map."

In the next decades we'll all be microchipped anyways and they can just flip off the switch on us, and we can all laugh as these drones will be obsolete.

Seriously though, glad you're bringing issues like this to light.

This is the future. Anyone not opposed to industrial civilisation is completely bonkers.

Is there a cell phone App that we can buy that will jam a Drones electronics or signals? Maybe we can make an App that will give us the ability to control the drones, and then we can fly it back to target its creator. Or maybe we should all buy our own drones, and then we can all partake in the drone wars? How much do these drones cost?

Perhaps if Islamic terrorists didn't attack innocent civilians and hide in hospitals and schools this technology would not be necessary. But they did. And I'm glad Israeli companies developed them, and I'm glad the U.S. is buying them.
