Starvation is just about the worst way to die. It is arguably as bad as radiation poisoning. How is that "more humane".China says its fighter pilots are battling AI aircraft in simulated dogfights, and humans aren't the only ones learning
One experienced pilot said that as he battled the AI, it would study his moves, throwing them back at him in later rounds.uk.news.yahoo.com
Here's an article about China using AI that learns from human pilots. It's the future. Soon AI pilots will be much better than real pilots, and it'll be a lot easier to cope with them being shot down.
What with hacking being the main form of warfare even in the present day, how many times has the US has major hacks from outside of the US? (Probably Russia and China) and with propaganda being thrown at people in the US, but China and Russia protecting themselves without having to worry about free speech getting in the way.
This is the future. People won't die in wars from combat, they'll die from starvation or be enslaved once their computer systems go down.
Well, the warfare is more humane. What comes after might not be.
How is the "warfare" more humane?
Because you don't send people off to die. Only technology will get killed.
Whether there's famine etc, well, all wars have that, WW2 was a massive stretch for Europe, rationing lasted years after WW2. You might not be able to stop that from happening. But perhaps wars will end up with no dead people at the end of it.
Those unmanned weapons platforms use REAL weapons against REAL people. So it isn't "only technology" that will get killed.
Wars end with "no dead people at the end of it?!"
Get real. If you don't kill people you can't win wars.
I'm talking about the future. Not now. And I'm talking possible scenarios.
As for "If you don't kill people you can't win wars." The reality is that wars will be conducted through hacking, and through economic means. If you have to build up a massive military at huge expense and then you lose it all in a battle, it's going to hurt you economically. Who needs to die?
That's another myth you and others have bought into. Wars are never going to be fought by nerds at keyboards or drone operators. That is a myth promoted by the writers of half price action thrillers.
Well, they already are being fought like this.
So... I don't need myths and action thrillers. I can look at the world today.
But you keep your head in the sand.
What we're seeing today is hardly "warfare". Cyber or otherwise. Mere annoyances don't qualify as "warfare".
Let me guess, "warfare" for you is only when guys are getting sweaty and shot.
Yes. What's wrong with that?
What's wrong with it?
It's like saying you can only talk about the weather if it's sunny.
Both China and Russia have been actively working on alternative ways of warring.
The Rise of the Present Unconventional Character of Warfare
Major power competition has evolved in style. An inability to counter U.S. military superiority has led China, Russia, and major regional powers to employ unconventional warfare to achieve their national security objectives. Technological developments re-invented this type of warfare and improved it

You can read this, if you can be bothered.
It talks about Russia and China now.
"China already ‘engaging in irregular war’ with US in the ‘grey zone’"
"It’s war. But not as we know it.
Decades of writings by China’s top tacticians reveal this to be so."
"It’s where coercion, intimidation, propaganda and manipulation are at play."

You don't get to decide what warfare is.
Just like the US didn't get to decide the type of warfare in Vietnam or Afghanistan.
