Autonomous warplanes “that fly missions alongside human pilots”.

I’m sure they’ll keep the humams involved. No way they’re trying to build a drone army that won’t question orders.

It’s not hyperbole to say they’re working toward a terrestrial version of Equilibrium. At least, until they can build it in space.

  As another person replied, sounds like the Faro Plague from Horizon Zero Dawn.

Seems more like Horizon Zero Dawn to me. I wonder what tech billionaire will play the role of Ted Faro and destroy everything!

  That thing which runs Tesla seems like just the megalomaniac that would let that happen. I have a dark future prediction that he’ll repurpose the gigafactories for drone production. Unless something stops him I don’t see a future where one of his businesses isn’t rededicated to war manufacturing in some way.
  
  Also: I felt thick as hell when I connected Faro and Pharoh.
