The US military did a test with something like 20 soldiers where they had to avoid detection by autonomous systems designed to detect humans.

Every single one of the soldiers used a different method and every single one of them succeeded in not getting killed by the system. Tactics varied from moving extremely slowly in prone position to literally metal gear solid hiding inside a cardboard box, one soldier covered themselves in tinfoil.

These will be no different. Easily defeatable simply by behaving in ways that are outside its detection, or not looking like a human being.

Seems silly of them considering how prolific North Korean hackers are, at least according to Western media. They'll just pass their silly hacking mini game and turn the turrets on South Korea

I've heard from a lot of NATO leftists that China should be more like South Korea. People who say that only get their knowledge of that country from Kpop and Kdramas.

Tangential question. What do Americans think of their soldiers being in Korea and Vietnam? Does it strike as odd to the median American? These two countries posed no direct threat to the USA.

unlike the DPRK the South Korean military dictatorship installed by the USA actually did police haircuts [article]

JUST LIKE IN THE SQUID GAME TREATS 🔫 🎎

south Korea is one of the few countries on earth that seems like they'd be worse to live in, from a "hope for the future" point of view, than the US

Death to America

South Korea is a cyberpunk dystopia

Can't speak about the channel in general, and there is no mention of the north, but this is a pretty short summation of South Korean society that does not hold back. I guess CW since it will probably make you sad, but it is also kind of mesmerizing how bad it can get.

This is JUST LIKE SQUID GAME.

Wow just like vibeo geims

the existence of a shoot-on-sight no-go zone several kilometers wide opens up options for some interesting hardware.

imagining a future where this gets artillery striked, gets buried in mud, and is unearthed by some farmer who is then shot ruthlessly and so is everyone else that comes looking for him

it appears that it comes in a version that has a battery, so waiting for some DPRK soldiers in Fursuits sneaking up to it and turning it around and running off like road runner

Right, because there is still someone with the authority to prevent indiscriminate murder by firearms. Which is obviously not a feature of a free society

Pretty sure I heard about these 20 years ago, I think Samsung makes a bunch of the hardware.
