The problem emerges when an actor most become a monster to win, sort of like Mutually Assured Destruction. I think that scifi shorts have the duty and power to show us the paths that certain developments entail. For example: - Slaughterbots: [LINK] - Last Day of War: [this video]

> What puzzles me is that as of yet, there doesn't seem to be any talk of using "AI" (ie Neural Net stuff) for planning and strategy, which seems like a MUCH more powerful application than this stuff. It'll probably be so effective, it'll still be fighting long after all of humanity has destroyed itself and left an irradiated environment. Here are two science fiction short videos of an artist depicting such a future: "LAST DAY OF WAR" - by Dima Fedotov | TheCGBros - [this video] "Fortress/Крепость" - by Dima Fedotof | TheCGBros - [LINK] (edit: typofix)
