Andúril. Huh.

I'm sure Tolkien (!catholics) would have approved of having a soulless machine killing humans (ad imaginem Dei creavit illum) based on its own "judgement"

This (extremely rough) 32 year old dude from CSU Long Beach (LOL) just killed you with a gay robot.

Hey I wonder what directed energy weapons and RF Jamming like Guardian do to drones?

BRB, I'm about to make a startup that melts drone cameras using an :soywarhammer:AI :!soywarhammer:setup with a phased green laser.

Seems like they really specialize in making cool videos.

To be honest, I can't count how much gee-whiz shit I saw throughout the GWOT extended universe that never got used because it was too finicky or required unreasonable support as opposed to sending some grunts on patrol or whatever.

They're trying to bridge the Silicon Valley and MIC gap. Palmer Luckey claims to be producing cheap and easily mass producible equipment but I haven't seen any price tags.

Their cruse missile variant claims to use significantly less tooling and half the parts of conventional systems.

Bloomberg gave him a puff piece a few months ago where he goes over his vision for the company.

Pretty clear that Daddy Thiel got Boomerberg to glaze him.

He'a kinda right on some shit but that has more to do with federal acquisitions and political bullshit than a lack of knowhow at, say, Lockheed. Not something that silicon valley can fix.

OTOH Project Pluto (Hypersonic Fission Ramjet Missile capable of days of station time) Battleship Orion (Giant spaceship with a crew number in the hundreds capable of reaching 20-30% of C--if you don't plan on stopping--loaded with 500 20mt city killers) or Sundial (10 Gigaton) would have had the China quaking in their boots back in 1962.

Instead we just got gay robots.

I miss the days of 1960s-1980s complete planetary destruction.

90% chance Palmer is on this site.
