problem is u can't advertise your kill volume so u risk killing unwitting civilian traffic, so drones would mb defer kill decision to humans

Why not advertise a kill volume? Radio waves travel faster than missiles, and most of warfare is posturing.

during a standoff across a DMZ, sure, but advertising your capabilities is probably bad, ppl would definitely bluff/undersell their volume

I feel like the capabilities of Kardashev civilizations are hard to undersell. A very obvious sphere around a planet or a star.

These spheres roughly co-inside with gravitational spheres of influence, and are mostly determined by light lag.

The capabilities of smaller space-faring civilizations can still be estimated by their waste heat.

And ideal kill volume is still determined by speed of light lag from the brain center.

If your sci-fi does not take speed of light limitations into account, it's not hard sci-fi. Period.

This rules out almost all talk about the technological singularity, sorry nerds. There are limits to thinking power in the material universe

i hate it when people talk about "the" technological singularity, a technological singularity is any technological change such that people before it could not comprehend life after it, we have people alive who have lived through two

Asymptotically self improving anything can't exist in a finite entropic universe. Period.

Uneducated meatbags just think it's possible because they see the start of a logistic curve and mistake it for an exponential curve.
