I don't know what else could make it any clearer but the world is already well into an AI terminator WW3.

Isn't that fine? Let's get a bunch of robot armies in one place like we used to do in the ancient days and let them duke it out. Whoever wins wins.

Army jobs getting automated is one thing I could get behind.

Just keep the drones out of the civilian areas.

So what is Israel likely to do when Iran has a working nuke?

I ask as a half jew. These questions are intensely interesting to me.

Probably "no one knows" is a decent answer, but I can't help but wonder what sort of plans are already in place.

EDIT: I immediately regret asking about politics. Never mind.

Hopefully things will work out.

This seems to be a clickbait headline - where is the AI part? It was just a remotely controlled gun. >Next, the report details how the sniper who took out Fakhrizadeh did so remotely from Israel, over 1,600 kilometers away, since the hit squad had long ago left Iran.

They apparently used some ML to make predictions about the position of the driver and the future position of the vehicle to account for the lag when they pulled the remote trigger from hundreds of miles away.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In which way are they unrelated in a cultural context where Terminator the movie franchise is a thing?

In the context of the real world , which is where we live, and which is different from a fictional movie.

Wait, wasn't the Terminator Governor of California a while back?

There's a big assumption in this statement. Hopefully stop attacking them if the assumption holds up.

So this is a public bragging about illegally putting a gun in a foreign country and assassinating a person, all the while being comfortably sure that no national or international pushback will come. Quite disturbing to read.

Iran and Israel are at low level war since many decades.
