Industrialization of Lethality

Conceptfirst used April 2026

That's what AI targeting does to war. It compresses the kill chain and swaps human deliberative time for algorithmic quotas - quantity over quality, in the worst sense of the phrase.

How the word moved

I described it in April 2026 in AI Polyconflict Part I, on the changing face of kinetic warfare. In May 2026 it came back in Cognitive Sovereignty as the thing that eats the human durée.

In my words

"Today, technology is replacing the human durée - the lived time of ethical deliberation - with algorithmically compressed decision-making."

I assumed stupidity over malice, then admitted that might be a flawed assumption. I don't know which it is.
