      They’re piloted.

      They already have.

      Whatever war gets cheaper. That honestly might make us do it less.

      Well until you get a pop-up with a timer and a live feed of an explosive drone heading toward you and a payment portal with an unskipable ad.

        back when all it took was a blade, was the bloodiest time in human history. It’s almost like things have been calm only because of the HIGH cost of war for the last few decades. Cheap war = more war.

        Just wait until they have those quadrapeds all touched up. A screen with ads on one shoulder and a gun pointed at you in the other.
