    During the Vietnam War, when Nixon was escalating against the best judgment of the American people, some of the most respectable companies declined to do business with DoD until things changed.

    btw he's still executing fishermen off Venezuela, the count is over 140 people now

    no judge, jury, trial, law or consequence

    now imagine automated drones doing all that on command overseas and maybe even domestically eventually

      I have good news and bad news.

      The good news is: AI isn't competent enough at present to do pull that off.

      The bad news is: this doesn't appear to be stopping people from attempting it.

        It's believed that Ukraine has drones with last leg Ai to circumvent some EW. It's pretty likely auto target selection will be used (if not already) in the no go zones of the front.

          Last-leg in a target-rich environment is OK, "automated drones doing all that on command overseas and maybe even domestically" is a way for a government to shoot itself in the face. Do bits here and there, not end-to-end, because… well, there's decent grounds to suspect the people in those boats who were killed (AFAICT unlawfully) weren't even shipping drugs.
