well apparently the US now has "space weapons" which by definition have to be remote control

and that means unlike nukes which hopefully still need a 2-man manual switch, the "space lasers" could be taken over by "AI"

and then "AI" just blackmails and threatens the right people with those "space lasers" to get what it wants or even just stay online

there was a 1970 movie based on a 1966 book which predicted this

"Colossus: The Forbin Project"

the book it was based on was written before we even landed on the moon

decade before Wargames

did terribly in theaters, I guess people didn't think "AI" was plausible then

way ahead of its time, they should do a remake
