The US-China race to build autonomous AI weapons isn’t a competition with a winner. It’s a shared suicide pact dressed up as geopolitics. The first to deploy doesn’t gain an advantage — they simply become the first hostage of a system they can’t control, setting a precedent that dismantles every norm around warfare since 1945. The arms race itself is the threat.
