I’m not sure how much of what is suggested in that article is possible, but it is chilling nonetheless. They reference all these heroic characters from movies while (maybe) not realizing that they sound just like the villains from those same films.
Might not be possible now, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be possible in the near future. A lot of what science has advanced takes a lot of money and basic research to get there. That’s something the military is good at bcz they don’t care how much money they spend.
Unfortunately, they’re operating under the assumption of, everybody else is doing it too, so we need yo do it first.
