I do think its funny that people think the drone war future is one in which humans aren’t getting killed instead of where where humans can’t even fight back.
Go watch ANY footage of the war in Ukraine and think about swarms of those drones working their way down your street, because that is what it looks like.

Soldiers are not getting killed. Innocent people don’t count.

just look outside the city and you’ll see the “willing” participants who “chose” war instead of starvation

war fucking sucks man. They’re still an enemy soldier who’s invading a nation trying to defend itself

In the future. The soldiers will be safely far away from the front lines. Ordinary people won’t be.

Drones cannot occupy a city. Drones cannot hold land. Even in the grim darkness of the 21st century, a drone is far more susceptible to outside factors eliminating its fighting capability than a human soldier standing in the same spot. At the end of the day, yes, a bulk of the fighting will be done by remote, but you’ll still need meatbags with guns to actually advance and take areas. There’s really no way to get around that unless we somehow develop autonomous robots that are able to make smart choices and strategize on the ground without human oversight, and I simply don’t see us managing any serious level of “AGI” from the current idea of machine learning, at all.

that’s not where future warfare is headed. theres still a frontline that needs to be defended/attacked
