The race for effective AI war machines was always inevitable, but portends a horrible future.
I don't see how to avoid it. When states see their adversaries researching murderbots, how can they decline to maintain a balance of power by doing the same? In the context of competing states, how can the ethical discussion about murderbots have any influence?
TBF - this is almost what they attempted to do in the late 80s. I used to go to Fallon (when, yes top gun was actuallly trained their early on)
And this control/flight-review room was this massive theater - with a giant 6" diam ball mouse.
I loved this place.
They would put these sensor devices on the planes - whih would track all the telemetry of the mission....
Then come back to this room to review successes and mistakes.
I was only 14 years old - and this was with Civil Air Patrol - and we got to see exactly how Top Gun trained. It was amazing.
Later - my brother became a colonel in the AF - and although he was a doctor- he was a flight surgeon, and as such went on a lot of really interesting missions - I loved hearing about what he would tell me, but they were typically only like 2 to 8 sentences or so...
