Coming to it late, I know, but I'm just reading the first Valley novel by Jason and the thing that strikes me most about it are the deep fears for an ordinary soldier of just running out of ammo or being unprotected in a vulnerable location.

My guess is that we're right to be worrying about AI, but are we going to be sending our AI drones up against their AI drones? What would be the point? It's got to be about territory and at that point it has to be about humans who understand conserving materiel and being as safe as possible in an unsafe location.

I guess that's one approach when young Australian's don't want to sign up to die for your ridiculous ideological wars.

Michael, settling the question of who owns everything, Rupert Murdoch or Xi Jinping, is not, as you put it, 'a ridiculous ideological war'.
