Some may have believed they were against AI being used for war. They just don’t want it to make the final kill decision.

The argument given by those supporting them is that AI in the military was inevitable, so their position is a reasonable one.

They're not ideologically against autonomous weapons systems.

Exactly. Which should have you condemning their warmonger ambitions, if you had moral consistency.

so that in the future these systems might become safe and trustworthy enough to use.

Which becomes true to them as soon as it doesn't kill Americans.

It's okay, you can just say you endorse America building autonomous weapons to wipe out people of any nationality. You can acknowledge that doing this is a Green Line according to Warmonger Dario Amodei. I support you coming out of that closet.
