He illustrates this through military disruption: cheap drone operators using AI can now neutralize million-dollar tanks, jets, and infrastructure, meaning defense will increasingly depend on a small number of highly skilled, locally-present human commanders rather than large institutions. He argues this points toward the need for a modern cursus honorum — a deliberate training ladder — to produce these rare, high-value operators.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/n6TouaiOTYoJNoM4lPvqOwAGoEixe8SIYCf76443KF0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNjBh/MWZkMTYwNWNiM2I2/MzkzZTk0MTBhMWUx/MzE5MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
