    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.

        what can a human do to hold land that highly armed autonomous vehicles can’t?

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