| > Western drone development reduces the chance of you being bombed by belligerent drones far more than it increases the chance of you being bombed by allied drones Bombing people in the name of drone development is not worth the moral cost. If you are specifically referring to anti-drone tech, maybe I can agree with some aspects of your statement. > The AI drone bombing is coming to both the West and everyone else I find this hard to believe because it doesn’t seem to generalize to most weapons advancements in the last 100 years. Correct me if I’m wrong, not a weapons nut here. > and leftist tech worker objection is not going to prevent that It is. It’s a form of pressure that can make a difference to talented individuals who have options. > What we can prevent is Western weapons being inferior to ones developed and deployed by authoritarian and illiberal governments. If you believe this, then your entire argument rests on the myth of the west being right, and the rest being wrong. Since this is HN I’m not going to comment further. |
