- Asymmetric warfare using cheap drones like Ukraine's FPV drones and Iran's Shahed series proves effective, causing significant damage despite low cost.
- Technological progress follows a pattern: from luxury novelty to commoditization, with cheaper, 'good enough' versions dominating widespread use, as seen with cars and computing.
- AI is entering a similar commoditization phase, where economic pressures and government restrictions push towards open, cheap models while cutting-edge AI becomes exclusive and less accessible.
