People say, "Jobs and factories moved overseas." However, what they are not saying is: "Because we invented the Internet through DARPA because we wanted computer redundancy in case of nuclear war to maintain our system of government even though we lost cities in the 1950s and 1960s, we accidentally sucked the lifeblood out of America by making the world more competitive with the U.S. on a direct level through Globalization and now we have presidential candidates like Trump and Sanders (a businessman who has gone bankrupt more than once and also a philanderer much worse than Clinton ever thought about being and Sanders who went to Russia for his honeymoon because he thought the Soviet Union was a better system of governance than the U.S. Government).
However, this also can be directly compared to what is now happening with Artificial Intelligence in Drones too. WE invented Artificial intelligence and the problem is now that other countries and criminals will start to use artificial intelligence against us just as they are using our invention of the Internet through Globalization against us now.
So, we are the victims in both situations of our own successes.
Let me ask you a question: "Which is worse? To gut your democracy by inventing the Internet which creates globalization or to invent Artificial intelligence which will eventually allow governments, terrorists and criminals to destroy America Physically at some point in the future?
How will artificial intelligence be used against us?
A good place to start is in Iran where they hacked a Predator drone a few years ago, told it it was somewhere else than it was and then forced it to land in Iran making it believe it was somewhere else.
By doing this Iran was able to make a copy of a Predator drone for all to see. What Iran will do with it's copy of a Predator drone is not fantasy, it is reality.
Though the following was written in 2012 in England you get an idea of where drones are around the world now by country:
Drones by country: who has all the UAVs?
The US has used drones in hundreds of attacks in Pakistan, Somalia and
Yemen - but which countries have UAVs and how many? Over 800 detailed

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are the new face of warfare for the
US and many of the world's biggest defence spenders. But where are they
based around the world?
Yesterday we published a complete database of reported drone attacks in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, as a senior diplomat criticised their use. But it may be too late. Drones are everywhere.
Data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, which it has allowed us to re-publish here on the Datablog, identifies 56 different types of UAVs used in 11 different countries. Where it can calculate actual stocks, this covers 807 drones in active service around the world - and this is a huge underestimate: number data is not available for China, Turkey and Russia.
The US is the most open about its drone stocks. The IISS data shows that is has at least 678 drones in service, of 18 different types. Some 14 of them are identified as 'heavy', and includes UAVs such as the MQ-1B Predator, of which it has over 100.
As for the UK, the army has unknown stocks of the Hermes 450 and
Watchkeeper drones, while the RAF has at least 10 MQ-9 Reaper heavy drones.
The full data is below. What can you do with it?
