This is only a few days after the massive drone attack in Russia. Only a matter of time until we have drones smart enough to dodge bullets (or at least dodge out of where guns are pointing) while flying at breakneck speeds being controlled by AIs we don't fully understand.

The tech industry is working hard to bring about the Terminator future.

Oh man, can anyone imagine a non-Terminator scenario for this?

Update: I'm not saying people shouldn't develop this, we're never going to squash human curiosity. But when I see this kind of stuff, I'm deeply troubled by how bad actors (state and non-state) will use this.

I hope our security services are working hard on countering these potential threats.

OTOH there's no mass adoption of autonomous drones after 3+ years of real active war between two technologically advanced nations.

I man at this point, given what we know I'm sure someone smart can connect some dots and describe what's inevitable with 99% confidence just in the next year or two in terms of society right?

The only question is whether motors or propellers will be banned for private sale first. (After drones themselves, of course.)
