#2And we thought skynet was just a part of some fictional movie.
On a separate note, DoD is pressuring Anthropic to remove it's safety guards. OpenAI and Google seemingly have already agreed to it.
On yet another note, Anduril is pretty cool with all that flying tech equipped with fancy autonomous weapons.
Finally, how can we miss Palantir..

or border patrolling with automatic summary executions to avoid cost of warehouse imprisonment
(btw we're up to 150+ murdered as of this week, it's still going on)
