A Chinese earthquake rescue team deployed drones to light up the night and aid search and rescue operations after the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

Especially drones. I'm so tired of seeing some helpless Ukrainian or Russian soul spend his last moments on earth looking at a faceless machine that's being controlled remotely with a god damn playstation controller. Even worse was those aid workers last year who were chased miles, under constant drone attacks, only to perish under something that was likely being ordered by poorly trained AI software.

I think you are focusing on the wrong part. A lot of Ukrainians would have died instead if they did not use the drones as weapons and robo dogs for reconnaissance. It really helps leviate some of the dread of going into not secure zones. The Russians could stay home if they didn't like the killing of innocents so much.

People said the same when they first invented machine gun. "If only one person can fire at the rate of 100 peson, we don't have to send 99 person to the war thus saving life"

Yeah we already see how it turned out when ww2 with machine gun technology

Yep, they said the same thing about mustard gas.

"Hey, if we can just kill all of these people with some gas, it's gonna end the war quickly, so lives will be saved".

Then a few weeks later, the opponent used the same technique, then people started to die faster, and suffered much more.
