I love it. They can operate in any enviornment 24/7. You do not have to worry about feeding them. They obey any command.

ALADDIN (Autonomous Learning Agents for Decentralised Data and Information Networks) is BAE’s response to the overload of sensors and data now confronting battlefield commanders who now have UAV observations, soldier-based sensors, satellite data, and reams of other intelligence washing over them in such volumes that, as Air Force Lt. Gen. David A. Deptula puts it, they’ll be “swimming in sensors and drowning in data.”

They should have named it SKYNET.

I am sort of with Sheldon on this one (or maybe Grant).

I want to have a Cyborg army with my mind in control! My only concern is that when I have nightmares the entire army will stand in front of the High School assembly wearing nothing but underwear.

And that in turn will cause the demand for psychological counseling to go up....
I made the wrong career choice.
