This post uses the war machine to demonstrate AI=bad.

I'm far removed from the conflict in Ukraine, but from the reporting it seems like they are making extremely good use of well understood, inexpensive technologies like drones with mundane munitions.

I'm sure Stinger missiles have their place in the battlefield there, but a $120K stinger doesn't seem like a very good countermeasure against a few thousand dollar drone.

So, counterpoint: We also need to understand how to embrace the changing face of software.
