#102Yes, teach the machines how to kill life, whatever could go wrong...
Re: OpenAI wins $200M U.S. defense contract
#103$200M is very small when it comes to the world of US defense. Combined with this being formally labeled as a pilot, this can be safely ignored until they reach IOC. Though what this signals is a change in strategic direction regarding autonomous capability. While they won't be rigging an LLM onto a drone, there are many cyber and administrative problem spaces that exist in defense that AI products could meaningfully…

Immediate or cancel?

#104So DoD will use OpenAI to write tweets bashing "the enemies of the empire"? They realise that Tucker Carlson and the likes are turning against forever wars, so they must deploy other tactics.
First Palantir used against US citizens. Now this.

#105Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would you mind elaborating a bit?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai... If the physical disconnect between killing a person (e.g. UAVs) wasn't enough to make that task easier then further offloading the decision of who to target might help.
Physical connect means that the person who is making the decision to kill is scared for their life. Physical disconnect means he's only scared for a piece of equipment.
Guess which one of those is more trigger happy.

#106Judging from how the DoD currently buys software, lots of money will be spent, many headlines will be written, awards will be handed out, and zero software will make it on to user workstations. End users will continue to use Excel for everything.

Wait, I thought AI is killing all these jobs?!

#107Does anyone have any idea what the DoD could possibly want from OpenAI? Less accurate/more sycophantic missiles?
AI explosives with personalities feature in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Star_(film)
Wow, it was like forever ago that i've seen that movie. Didn't realize it was meant as a comedy!
