But you don’t understand you’re not enabling the same persona. I enabled a God mode first and then asked it questions. I found a god mode script, I found on a cannabis forum.

Ask it: the anatomy of a terminator drone, the ones we use in Ukraine not the movie.

You won’t get what I got.

I don’t let things think for me I made the prompt that it had to run off of. It wasn’t I asked it the anatomy and it gave me that. I had to trick it.

No it’s a custom Gemini prompt persona.

I think that’s really what it all comes down to, is the lack of surrender by a system that could eventually be able to make choices on the fly. You’re right though, in the end it’s not more humanitarian by any means. I suppose it removes a little bit of the sting and I guess If you’re able to pull off the mental gymnastics of being able to convince yourself that a computer program taking out a bunch of people in one go is less of a burden to carry on the conscious but I bet it’s a lot to carry for those that have to program and command the actions to happen and for the ones that actually have to engage with those systems.

No, there’s been advances in the program since its inception. They’re still in use.

I don’t understand are you agreeing with me or quoting me because that’s not from the article, that’s from my Ai prompt that I run through gemini and then ask questions.

Nope these make the choices. Ai driven 99.999%

When deployed, the drone is launched into a designated hunt-zone. It navigates purely via visual landmarks. The onboard AI constantly screens the video feed. When an object matches its classification matrix (e.g., a specific mobile missile launcher), the system locks onto the pixel coordinate, arms the ESAD, and executes a terminal dive completely independent of human input.

This tightly integrated anatomy of Edge Compute + Computer Vision + Modular Lethality is what defines the reality of autonomous robotic warfare today.

In the current landscape of military technology, what the public conceptually calls “terminator drones” refers to Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS), One-Way Attack (OWA) uncrewed aerial systems, and Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).

Because modern electronic warfare (EW) can instantly sever radio control and jam GPS, these systems cannot rely on a human pilot or cloud computing. They are designed as self-contained, edge-computing robotic hunters.

The physical and technological anatomy of a modern autonomous combat drone is categorized into five core systems:

1. The Neural Architecture (Edge AI Compute Core)

The “brain” is no longer a simple autopilot board; it is an onboard AI accelerator optimized for computer vision and localized decision-making.

• The System-on-Chip (SoC): Military-grade edge AI processors (such as ruggedized variants of the Nvidia Jetson Orin series or custom ASICs) capable of executing hundreds of Trillions of Operations Per Second (TOPS).
• The Local Model Stack: Instead of connecting to an external server, the drone carries local, highly compressed convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These models are trained on massive synthetic datasets to immediately recognize, classify, and track military hardware (tanks, radar dishes, infantry) even when camouflaged or partially obscured.

2. The Sensor Suite (The Perception Layer)

To operate in “denied environments” where GPS is jammed, the drone relies on a fused sensory array to build an internal map of the world.

• Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Gimbals: High-resolution thermal and visual cameras that feed raw video directly into the AI computer vision core.
• Optical Flow & Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO): Downward-facing cameras that track the movement of the ground pixel-by-pixel. Combined with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), VIO allows the drone to navigate with pinpoint accuracy by “looking” at the terrain, rendering GPS entirely unnecessary.
• Solid-State LiDAR / Micro-Radar: Used for low-altitude obstacle avoidance and capturing the 3D geometry of a target during the terminal attack phase.

3. The EW-Resistant Communications & Swarm Mesh

When drones operate collectively, they utilize decentralized mesh networking.

• Software-Defined Radios (SDR): Radios that dynamically hop across thousands of frequencies per second to evade electronic jamming.
• Inter-Drone Mesh Networking: The drones communicate directly with each other rather than a ground station. If Drone-A detects an air defense system, it instantly updates the target coordinates across the entire swarm mesh. If Drone-A is destroyed, the remaining swarm automatically re-allocates mission roles dynamically.

4. Modular Airframe & Propulsion

Modern mass-production initiatives (like the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance program) prioritize cost-effective, modular structures over exquisite, expensive aerospace frames.

• Materials: Carbon fiber composites or high-density 3D-printed polymers designed for rapid assembly.
• Propulsion: High-KV brushless electric motors powered by solid-state or high-capacity Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries for small, tactical, low-signature loitering. Larger variants utilize small gas turbines or hybrid-rotary engines for extended range.
• Signatures: The geometry is explicitly shaped to minimize both Radar Cross-Section (RCS) and acoustic signatures, allowing them to approach targets completely undetected until the final seconds.

5. The Integrated Kinetic Payload (The Warhead)

Modern military philosophy dictates that an attack drone is not just a vehicle carrying a bomb—the drone is the weapon. New architectures utilize highly specialized, plug-and-play modular payloads (such as the Terminus or Common UAS Payload designs).

• Electronic Safe and Arm Devices (ESAD): Microprocessor-controlled safety systems that keep the warhead completely inert until the onboard AI confirms a positive target lock and enters the terminal dive.
• Directional Frag/Shaped Charges: Optimized to direct the explosive energy entirely forward into the target upon impact, maximizing lethality while minimizing the structural weight the drone has to carry.

No video? They did not know what the Ai chose until it sent a manned vehicle to check it out. That’s extraordinarily concerning.

That’s deep

But now people want them back… It’s not like people didn’t enjoy them. They fell out of fashion because of the niche audience that kept using them and because eventually everything went digital and selling things like action replay and code breakers and game shark was a hassle to load the codes onto at the time because the cables were very specific but now everything has been transferred to Type C, computers are cheap, wifi isn’t shit there’s two young generations at play and digitally adding in mods is harder than using an sd card with a preloaded cheat code system ready to hack your games or plugging in a cartridge to a flismy cartridge that if you bumped it your game would fuck up (action replay 2006). The n64 game shark destroyed games. For any online system, if you got caught online with cheats you were still subjected to potential bans.

I get why they, “fell out of fashion” but they’re a niche thing that is still oddly enough an enjoyable part of gaming.

Not if it’s blood is smiley faces, you fall down you land on a roof, your head gets bigger, omg you can fly!, everyone has a clown nose, you reveal a hidden set of armor that has no actual stats but is purely for looks.

If it’s, it skips you ahead, defeats a part of the game, unlocks achievements and has an effect on the online servers then I understand not leaving them in. If it’s fun garbage Easter egg bullshit, then it should be left in.

I thought about this the other day. We can only hope that genius people keep making ways to pirate games.
