A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

MODERATORS
I wonder if Elon is even aware that a big part of why the F-35 is so expensive is because it was designed to operate as a command and control node for fleets of combat drones, because it turns out you still need a human intelligence directing them.
His fantasy that autonomous kill-bots are all that matters in warfare is just something he got from the scifi novels he obsessively reads (while completely missing the point of every single one of them). We're not even remotely close to an "AI" that could be trusted with that kind of decision making.
the very second an army realized it was just drone-on-drone warfare they'd switch to bunker busting drone command centers and ignore the drones.
Elon really wants to sell cybertruck with "self-driving"
You're right, but what he really wants to sell is Tesla shares. The more the share price goes up, the richer he is, and Tesla's share price is based entirely on the notion that its the ground floor of a world where autonomous vehicles are everywhere.
Market cap wise, Tesla is sitting at something like ten to twenty times any other car manufacturer, at a fraction of their sales. It's the promise that a) they'll crack self driving any day now, and b) self driving will be a thing that everyone wants that keeps the Tesla share price as ridiculously inflated as it is. If people get wise that there is no rabbit in the hat, his fortune collapses.
TSLA gives me ENE-vibes. I'm hoping for a spectacular repeat of Enron. At least Tesla has something of value, but it's nowhere near a justification of the share price.
Reminds me of a scene in Heinlein's Starship Troopers where they explain the need for mobile infantry. All thr bombs in the world won't let you hold the territory. For that you need the infantry, and always will. If I recall right.
So I'd say he missed the very fundamental point there that robots cannot win a war alone.
