Raw LLM Responses

Good talk. No question autonomous weapons exist today. They prove their effectiveness in Ukraine. When Russia tries to jam the signal, if the human operator has already switched the drone to autonomy mode, the jamming does nothing. I suspect it is way too late for hopes of a conference, be it a Hague Conference or a UN Conference to succeed in banning the concept. Russia has been working for some time on an autonomous version of their T-14 Armata tank called the Tachanka-B. We should expect China and the US are also exploring the concept. Now that the Houthi have unveiled they now have naval drones including access to submersible ones for use in the Red Sea (or elsewhere), we should expect them too to leap at any opportunity to unleash fully autonomous ones to close down the Red Sea (or maybe someday the Straits of Magellan. Similarly China would be very vulnerable to an opponent planting a few dozen autonomous naval drones in the Malacca Strait. Which countries Navy would be responsible for guarding the gate locks of the Panama Canal? We may see the end of ocean transport in our life times. I look at the aerial drones carrying baskets of hand grenades or an artillery shell, and I wonder how long before someone makes one carrying an old ZBV3 122mmm tactical nuke shell or similar ordnance? Similar with the naval drones. If there are drones that can carry several hundred pounds of conventional explosives, then an old tactical nuclear artillery shell should be easy enough to carry. By now many have seen the videos of the robot dogs outfitted experimentally with rifles and light machine guns. What would the operating activation parameter be for one made autonomous and placed in an infantry role? Just a speculation, skin temperature on a thermal sensor? If it is more than 90 degrees Fahrenheit but less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, shoot until the skin temperature decreases. Likewise if it moves. Stuff like that is probably in our futures. Personal weaponry for a human soldier battling against a armored mechanical autonomous robot needs a quantum increase in effectiveness It isn't even close to being there yet. We are watching the birth of Skynet and Terminators.
