I am not updating here beyond our blog post, I think LAW is not really a “live issue” for a number of reasons, including the fact that DoW is not in charge of developing weapons but procuring them.
I also think that LAW will be ultimately a question of capabilities, and so I view it less than one where there is an inherent incentive in terms of the government to deploy something that is unreliable.
On the other hand, any government can have an incentive to spy and control people to stay in power, which is why we need all these laws restricting the power of government.
