We're going to have to, reasonably speaking, if we are to survive as a species.But the drone arms race is inevitable, in my opinion. I wonder was there any example of stopping arms race in human history - before the tragedy happened (as with WMD)...
Hermann Oberth had proposed the idea of a concave mirror that would be placed in orbit above the Earth.Were not they planning to launch an experimental huge mirror satellite to reflect the sunray to illuminate the ground in the night?
Multiple mirrors would burn a city more than illuminating.
The German Sun gun proposal only required one. The key is basically the size of the mirror, the altitude of the mirror, and the position of the sun.So, multiple mirrors would burn a city.
Seems a rather strange thing: You'd figure you could eliminate much of that complexity by using photovoltaic cells to collect energy, then use electrical current to generate the heat in some way.
These drones appear to be fully autonomous and can make the decision to kill without human input

I just hope we don't have some kind of autonomous drone arms race -- if so, we're all doomed. It doesn't matter what country will win the race, because humanity will lose. I don't think all A.I. is bad, but there is worry when you're talking about A.I. that's designed explicitly to kill.
