      we had to release the AI early to reach the market before the competition. We will patch the rouge elements later.

    Define "Friendly Fire" when it was a bit-error in a logic-board that made an AI butcher our own troops...

    This is inevitable, just as autonomous kill-drones are inevitable.

    Still jacking-up WW3's tantrum/pogrom as hard as possible, of course..

    The Great Filter is going to change the unconscious-mind nature of whatever remnant surivives this century.

    ( PS: the only climate-model I know-of that ISN'T contradicted by Antarctica's current heating, is a powerlaw, and it predicts between 5C & 9C heating for our current atmospheric CO2 & human-added-methane.

    5+C when the methane's CO2-equivalent is ignored, between 8C & 9C when it is included.

    That, too, is a Friendly Fire, incident, but planet-scope, right?

    Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

    Factoring in the excess methane, only, that we're producing, brings it up to 8.33C planetary heating, using methane's 20y CO2 equivalent. Other manufactured greenhouse-gasses are not included in that estimate.
