I am worried we are not too far away from this becoming a reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlO2gcs1YvM

Definitely scary, but what happens if enemy states create this technology before us? That's why we need a defence sector that does, in fact, build these tools. If both sides have the technology then a stalemate is reached. Look at nuclear weapons; we can all bomb each other out of existence, and so, no one does. Now look at the countries that lagged behind.
Wow that is frightening!
That video seems to have been copied everywhere, and the copy you linked to seems to be on a fringe UFO conspiracy channel.

As far as I can tell, this is the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6M2HsoIA

This video is fictional, and was made as a warning about where current tech could take us. I have no doubt that generals who have seen it are quite upset that they can't have it yet.
I realize that, I just wanted to drive the traffic to the original source rather than to some weirdo who uploaded a copy.
Thanks. I thought I had found the original upload after sifting through a lot of copies on youtube. Wish youtube was a little proactive with detecting dupes, rather than reactive. Or at least some sort of an automatic note/link to original even if it is a legal derivative.
