3. Entertaining but kooky. Same thing made the RW blog rounds a few weeks back.

Rather than 'slaughterbots' of this sort, existential threats that I'm a lot more practically concerned about are 1. nuclear war, 2. the diminishment of the rule of law through propaganda, selective law enforcement and other ongoing erosions in civil liberties along racial, political or other lines.

Only once you get down to around 15. or so do I start to be concerned about the use of domestic AI drones.
