People seem to be forgetting the existence of robots (such as Spot and Atlas from Boston Dynamics) that can be adapted with guns and programmed to serve the rich in a way that (supposedly) won’t turn against them… (Until someone gets to hack those metallic dogs)
These robots (particularly Spot) are already being used for security and guarding purposes. It’s a matter of not if, but when, they get transformed into dystopian real-life Cyberdyne machines.
That cuts both ways. It’s only a matter of time until we see Ukrainian style flying drone bombs on the other side.
Tiny drones with a small explosive charge, send a dozen to land on their head and shoulder area and explode. Good luck defending against that.
Aerostats. Once again, Neal Stephenson already called it.
Paranoia should hit even harder if you decide to surround yourself with smart killer robots.
