You don’t need to get high to come up with this.

Human free military is literally the wet dream of all generals and military higher ups. As we speak there are dozens of mil-tech startups and huge enterprises that work on exactly that

It's not even a dream, militaries are already many orders of magnitude more capable per soldier compared to the past. That ratio will keep increasing at an even faster rate with new technologies like AI.

The day we have a “human free military” is the day that every human on earth wakes up to find they just got enlisted without notice.

Game theory only works when you have skin in the game. You think the other nations’ machines are just going to wreck your machines and then go home?

I mean yes? Wrecking the other nations machines means your back in the stone ages ?

I think common sense filters are what prevents accurate predictions of black swan events. Like AI singularity or COVID outbreak. People who usually are capable of reasoning get to a conclusion--e.g AI doom and then dismiss it out of hand by things like it's more likely the logic is flawed bc the prior is so low. But if you're confident in your reasoning--sometimes you have to accept that extremely low prior things can happen

Look, judging things by how they feel has gotten me this far. Why change now?

The pursuit of optimality would be one possible reason.

Judging things by how they feel is a big part of what brought climate change to our door.

It's gone 100% perfectly and you've never ever had a shower thought where you second guessed yourself?

A field of antipersonnel mines is already a human-free military.

Ukraine hooked up image recognition software to a machine gun because they kept losing gunners. They also can use the same tech to auto-track targets with kamikaze quad rotors. It's already happening.
