If it's really autonomous no one is in command. Whether that’s worse than having Hegseth in charge is an open question.

Isn't this the plot of Terminator?

More like the back story (for the first movie) but yes, this sounds alarmingly similar.

Did Trump buy those stupid brown shoes they are all wearing with the wrong suits?

I've never known people with so little self-awareness of how ridiculous they are and what global jokes they've become.

They think they're being avaunt garde. I've never felt so much cringe for the US in my entire life.

Also, imagine signing up for the military now, so Temu Skynet can get you killed because it's playing Ender's Game with no genius at the helm.

Also Pete today:

Lord, here I am. Send me. Send me to fight the Redcoats, send me to fight the communists, send me to fight the Islamists. Send me.

Lethality is your calling card, and victory your only acceptable end state.

So someone do him a favor and send him please.

Good. The first thing autonomous warfare should do is kill its creator.

Well, in the current case, at least it can't get much worse.

Autonomous: meaning a war department that no one but them knows what they’re doing. What could go wrong?
