Isn’t it inevitable that the stuff in the video will happen then, specifically autonomous murder drones? I don’t really see a way to prevent that in the future… which is terrifying.
You can already watch hundreds, if not thousands of hours of Russians and Ukrainians being mercilessly hunted by drones with grenades. What difference does it make if it has a human pilot or not? The world has always been ugly and brutal if you were actually paying attention.
There’s a really obvious difference of scale, where you could kill millions without needing millions yourself. The implications when it comes to terrorism are scary. In that sense it’s similar to the threat of nuclear weapons, but the technology will be more accessible and more precise, able to target people based on things like race. You can also destroy all the people in an area without harming the resources/environment/structures, etc.
The asymmetric nature is great for smaller manpower counties. Drones will equalise combat for smaller countries and reorient it to capital and industrial capabilities.
