also most likely the robots would have some cross talk
doubt they would want to use Windows
eh it depends i guess
most of the security there afaik is just
'dont connect anything to it'
They would need to know everything that was included in the systems those things ran on
yeah sure
but the military still has a pretty big software engineering deficit
I'm not sure that Microsoft provides their source code
there was this consultant the air force hired
and all he wound up doing
was teching them to program basic things in python
lol
since they had this horrible mutated mass of bullshit
with like
excel
and special tools
to plan fuel stuff
and had given up
and were just using the white board
they just didnt know how to computer
that happens
tech has advanced VERY quickly
so its sortof like yes they know to demand everything that goes onto the machine
so people haven't been able to catch up
but their ability to evaluate that
is lacking
yeah thats the main issue
things are moving way too fast for the military
they have kindof just been going along for centuries now
then suddenly they are in this like
psychadelic horror show
and they just
dont even know whats going on
once they go through the paperwork to adopt new tech, by the time it's finished there is already something twice as advanced out there
if not more so
its not that they are fundamentally not capable in terms of hardware
they arent going to get massacred per se
but its getting way ahead of them in some ways
some military computers are running on VERY outdated OS and using some sketchy fucking protocols
