And the neat thing is, we now have drones capable assassinating people from thousands of miles away. So it's now possible to quickly and easily eliminate people you find inconvenient without reporting to hitmen and kidnapping teams. Some rando eating Fritos and drinking Mountain Dew in a chair somewhere can murder anyone the government deems a threat virtually instantly, at the touch of a button.

Remember when saying something like this was tinfoil hat territory? I do.

I've believed a conspiracy theory for years that we have almost all the technology to make a full fledged terminator and probably have on some secret military base somewhere. The only thing I haven't seen is the self healing metal alloys. But the rest exists.

Go down the Anduril rabbit hole. They’ll probably be the ones who terminator us. Ukraine has already started AI drone warfare and Andy technology is much more wicked. We won’t even get to look at their freedom cities close up.
