I did say ...

Open source warfare hits the headlines. It was an idle thought I had the other day when reviewing an article about Fogbank in the Weekly Standard. Apparently, not that idle. It makes international terrorism even more horrifying - and judicious (though perhaps not judicial) control of the Internet even more necessary. More here.

It's also absolutely depressing to think that in the future wars will be conducted in the following way: rich nations and their bots will limit their human injuries as they commit - with a probably expanding impunity and growing lack of public distaste - greater and more destructive acts of violence against their poorer and still human cousins in other less-developed countries.

If "developed" is the right term here.
