This is horrible news. Blurring the lines of accountability between people and software in the industry of war is a recipe for Armageddon.

Don't try to "fake-news" it because it doesn't fit with your narrative.
Tech is being abused and combined with already authoritarian-fascist policies, is killing civilians en masse.
