TBF - this is almost what they attempted to do in the late 80s. I used to go to Fallon (when, <i></i><i>yes</i><i></i> top gun was actuallly trained their early on)<p>And this control&#x2F;flight-review room was this massive theater - with a giant 6&quot; diam ball mouse.<p>I loved this place.<p>They would put these sensor devices on the planes - whih would track all the telemetry of the mission....<p>Then come back to this room to review successes and mistakes.<p>I was only 14 years old - and this was with Civil Air Patrol - and we got to see exactly how Top Gun trained. It was amazing.<p>Later - my brother became a colonel in the AF - and although he was a doctor- he was a flight surgeon, and as such went on a lot of really interesting missions - I loved hearing about what he would tell me, but they were typically only like 2 to 8 sentences or so...

The race for effective AI war machines was always inevitable, but portends a horrible future.<p>I don&#x27;t see how to avoid it. When states see their adversaries researching murderbots, how can they decline to maintain a balance of power by doing the same? In the context of competing states, how can the ethical discussion about murderbots have any influence?
