I’d argue that artificial shelter and food storage was the tipping point, and weapons downstream of that, both causally and in impact.
I do wonder how that applies to AI—it seems too direct to believe it’ll out-compete us when it controls electricity production, but at a coarse level is IS all about efficiency and direction of energy.
I think bow and arrow is powerful enough and gun is not necessary.

On Earth, yes. In a world where animals have projectile weapons, no.
