Terminator is here and it's for real....

Check this out. Latest 60 Minutes episode about hundreds of autonomous drones navigating in a swarm controlled by their own AI with the ability to kill without any human intervention whatsoever (no one operating them with a joystick) and the Defense Department is sinking BILLIONS a year into this technology that by their own admission, is more of a game changer then nuclear weapons. WTF !!!!!

I got a roomba clone for myself at Christmas and my first thought was "Strap a grenade and a Go-Pro on this baby and never a soldier or cop has to bust through a door ever again."
Then I remembered Terminator and nodded and smile. With folded hands. (Jack Williamson)

The rabbit hole of capabilities goes deep.

Intel and others far more classified have been playing with swarms for some time now.

These are just surveillance, we wont even know it once they have been weaponized.

They are incredibly Smart and fly impossible to predict flight patterns, making them nearly impossible to target.

Smart- when one, or any number of the drones fail or loose battery, the others in the air automatically compensate and complete all the downed drones' missions.
