    I guess I wasn’t think of the same movie: Screamers (1995).

    Basically there’s a war, and that war is fought by increasingly more sophisticated drones that get under the sand and bork you once they see you.

    Worth a watch.

      You have awoken the last few neurons that remember being terrified of those things. Now I gotta find that movie.

        Don’t worry. Based on the fact that no government wants to ban AI-enabled killing machines, we’re highway-ing-to-hell towards a similar, albeit less glamorous future.

          If I get to pick my personal AI demon, I pick Badgy.
