U.S. Armed Forces Ensures ‘Terminator-like Reality’ In Foreseeable Future
Last month, the British Ministry of Defense warned that the prolific use of drones in battle will lead toward an “incremental and involuntary journey towards a Terminator-like reality.” Today, we learn that the Pentagon plans on doubling its robotic fleet of pilotless aircraft over the next three decades, essentially guaranteeing the fall of man and rise of the Resistance. Fun times.

Editor-in-Chief:
Aren’t drones controlled by men though?
From the report: “Autonomous systems will, in effect, be self-aware and their response to inputs indistinguishable from, or even superior to, that of a manned aircraft.”
Word. Thank god it looks like infrastructure will collapse before that can happen.
