Do you honestly feel there is a role for fighter pilots in the modern remote-controlled AI defense landscape?

Seems like a several trillion dollar holdover romance from a bygone and obsolete era from WW1 & WW2 to me that is never coming back.

Technology has moved on, IMO; but I wonder what your thoughts are.

As a follow-up, given how expensive airplanes are now and how much other aspects of American life are so staggeringly under-funded, I wonder about how much sense it makes to keep spending that money on a fear-based mindset.

Well done, BTW; you pillar you...

I wonder what we're doing as a society when LITERALLY EVERY platform is set up to be as anti-privacy as possible; and if it's not that way initially, big corporations like Google or Amazon "just buy" their way into making it so.

For example, I own and purchased both Nest and Ring before they were purchased by two well-known abusers of privacy for my home security SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE I didn't want Google's and Amazon's offerings due to their poor security practices and attitude and increasingly Big Brother attitudes.

Welp, they went and bought both and now I'm stuck with having paid a bunch of money for the anti-thesis of what I wanted. Home security and privacy in MY control and NO ONE else's.

What recourse do consumers have for things like this?

While it's nice as a web developer to have reams of data of my users, it's also scary as hell that I CAN get this much information about them. And I don't even work for Google, who knows more about them than they likely know themselves.

I'm tired of being a product to harvest for corporations; and it seems wrong to be and the LITERAL definition of "Unreasonable Search And Seizure" to have all web and network technologies set up against my privacy by default.
