I don't really disagree with you, just asking.

Although the above is overdramatised, it's not unrealistinc.
Its allies used to rent drones for surveillance against terrorism, then used it as both a carrot and a stick. Now, Turkey has its own drones that regularly take down targets effectively, even some air defenses.
After Syrian war started and "modern western liberal democracies" failed to help with the refugee crises, those borders became even more treacherous.
Heard that before?
...and it is laughable to suggest EU will lift another finger for Greece after taking their wallet and vacationing with that money too
As for refugees, they weren't forced. The border police just didn't stop them. I agree Erdogan coming on TV and yelling it out openly was a below-the-belt tactic and after that people started transporting refugees by the bus to the border.
Turkey's government is just the big despotic fish in the small geopolitical pool that is the Caucasus / Northwest Middle East. Finding cheap ways to kill is not a defensive strategy for the gov't.
So yes, a consumer can build a guided missile.
I wonder what chance anyone has of stopping something like this. It can certainly carry an explosive and flying 50 or even 200 km is probably doable with a bit of a scaleup.
This just sounds like you're trying to persuade people on why drones are definitely the future of war.
Dunno about "untraceable" though, there's a long history of tracing munitions from fragments.
Private individuals will soon be able to afford automated drone swarms. Set it and forget it.
Next thing you know there is an AI detecting crime and killing the criminal without making a mess.
You can detect what the other person is carrying and that works good as a filter. A person carrying knife in a crowd or school outside of canteen doesn't make any sense by general norms. Second would be to detect the intent - now that's a much harder problem but you can whitelist few situations where the person has already stabbed someone or shown sufficient physical evidence of criminal intent.
You can even think up a dystopia where Facebook does the policing.
"Linkedin implements a system to identify to-be criminals by personal history and behaviour it tracks", in a report on Friday from the executives, Linkedin has decided to label offenders on its platform to reduce their reach and stop them from getting a job before it's too late. The CEO explained that this is just one of the policies that linkedin has implemented to serve justice to our society.
Mark Zuckerberg says "justice shall be served. Social media platforms have the duty to govern society". Facebook has decided replace profiles of people breaking its policy with support social justice banners and links to donation box of variation NGOs. Additionally, they have decided that this policy will effectively block all offenders accounts on any platform they control including instagram, whatsapp, and integration which uses Facebook sign in functionality. They will share this data publically and encourage others such as partnered advertisers to block those offenders.
After years of toxicity on Twitter, jack Dorsey says they are finally taking steps to serve justice to our society. New twitter update will make it mandatory to attach your credit card at all times and social security number as well as sensitive personal information. Offenders will be charged and fined on the platform and their accounts will be handed out to the victims for exposure therapy.
Sundar Pichai thinks google must fix people's wrong perception and biases. Google representative told us that they would soon manipulate search and ad results of people it deems problematic in an attempt to "fix" them. Racist people will start seeing more anti-racist content in the coming days.
looks up how an EMP works
An uncontrolled nuclear reaction is significantly simpler than a controlled one. We still don't have fusion reactors, while fusion bombs were developed 10 years after fission bombs.
The Chicago Pile came way before Trinity. Rock formations have even been known to come together accidentally to form natural nuclear reactors, but I think it will be a very long while before the first natural nuclear bomb.
the amount of money put into may-be-probable piece of tech is astronomical in defence indistury, because it may really be game-changer. (eg. lasers, rail-guns etc)
every piece of tech we use today started as a defence project. You may say ML/AI is just research stuff. If you think AI is being developed to help you with groceries, you are being lame... (no harm intended but my opinion)
Probably in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_radiation_experiments the section about USA is bigger because it is more open, but it is scary anyway.
> During World War II, the Second General Army and Chūgoku Regional Army was headquartered in Hiroshima, and the Army Marine Headquarters was located at Ujina port. The city also had large depots of military supplies, and was a key center for shipping.
So, a civilian city, but not just that.
Putting your head in the sand won't save you.
