You aren't thinking about AI drones, other people are. Project Maven was a first step towards securing broader DoD contracts. Pretending drones were not part of the picture is either naive or disingenuous.

You can't do any better than slippery slope? Who's being disengenuous?

There are several rubicons between here and AI killing machines. Why draw this particular line? Why not just halt all AI research?

If I said that banning bump stocks was "basically gun confiscation" or that implementing universal healthcare was "basically the great leap forward", would you be convinced?

I'm really trying to understand your argument here, please help me out.
