For the LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, WHY did Airbus name their military satellite networking system !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ?!?! Did we learn NOTHING from the movies?! Oh look, it even HELPS MANAGE DRONES!!! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?!

This rant is brought to you by a small degree of paranoia.

The advanced AI features are just tempting fate.

Yup. I’m with Dr. Evi... I mean, Elon Musk on this one. Just say “no” to AI.

Aaaaaand humanity is toast.

Airbus already makes drones. I guess making them all as close to self aware as possible and just hoping for the best is a good plan!

Sure, first they bug our cheese and now they’re using unmanned mobile trackers. MORE FOIL! MORE FOIL!

I bet the amount of money was Titanic. He probably thought “Screw it, I’ll just toss this money into The Abyss and tell some True Lies about how I had nothing to do with it.”

Foil doesn't work anymore. Lead-lined underground bunkers are the only things left for us.

And don’t forget that Cyberdyne produces a “Cyborg Type Robot” named... (wait for it) HAL.

Until they have fully autonomous refueling & control capability for fuel production & supply, aircraft, tankers, and fuel bunkers on the ground, we have the upper hand. Gravity is a bitch.

Once it starts learning at a geometric rate and making decisions, we’re fucked.

It’s only a matter of time. I’m sure Airbus is designing that too, the bastards.

Meh, Russia has had an autonomous, dead hand system for their nuclear arsenal for 30 years and there hasn’t been any major problem.
