I hate to burst your all's bubbles but they have access to highly efficient weapons already. Not to mention chemical and biological warfare that doesn't even need operatives and doesn't damage assets!
If they wanted to they will.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yet in the real world, it isn't the wealthiest and most powerful nations that are using drone swarms. They're still stuck in the past.
Which tells me that militarized robots are going to be used by more than only wealthy and powerful people/nations.

It will always be easier to build something that kills people than to build something that stops the first thing, and technological progress has only ever widened this gap.
Yeah and fpv drones flown by a human pilot can easily out perform "AI" so...
But like obviously the video you watched to determine the human pilot was better will be used to train that AI.
This is what scares me the most. How many of the people who are against AI appear to have decided it will never supersede human capabilities.
I feel like a lot of people are expecting the stock market bubble bursting will solve this? IMO that's just going to open pandoras box.
For sure, I think the current crop of ai companies might die when the market crashes, but technology is here to stay
Thank you. Exactly. All those assets will just change hands. Probably not even as when the companies are liquidated they'll probably be bought up by the shareholders that were pushing for this in the first place.
If the USA doesn't have an EPA or other agencies stepping in than we may see real ecological damage unless Americans physically prevent their construction.
I think electricity bills quadrupling and quintupling in cost will step in and put a pinch to much of this horseshit. Already states are stepping up to limit datacenters. Maine just put a ban on them in the state. Infrastructure matters.
There is still innovation in the space. There are some models that aren't as gpu (and maybe power) hungry.
I think we need to be prepared to confront LLM's and whatever comes after for the long haul.
Today's iteration sucks for so many reasons, the core of problem I think will be there for a long time.
Hell we may crack fusion (in the next 20 years) and we will still have the fundamental problems we are grappling with.

Idk if that's true. I believe autonomous drones can now beat humans in FPV racing. Ukraine now has autonomous drones that can't be jammed and function under GPS denial, so they can go further than fiber optic tethered drones.
I believe autonomous drones can now beat humans if FPV racing.
On a repeating, static track maybe, we however are talking about war where nothing repeats quite the same and the landscape is always changing and being changed.

We've been a few years away from killer robots for years now.
