I don't think calling him "Kissinger's buddy" works as a smear since Kissinger was very friendly with China.

I'm not trying to defend Schmidt, but you're naive if you think the US shouldn't develop AI weapons.

How would the world look like now if the US took the high road and refused to develop nuclear weapons and instead let Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia develop them instead?

The military had AI deployed on the battle field long before the masses awoke to it via chatGPT. The controversy over using remote weapons and AI was kicked off back in the Obama administration. Before the debate has any time to congeal someone is going to deploy autonomous weapons. Iran may already be doing it.
