Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The job site decided to recommend me an article calling for the removal of most human oversight from military AI on grounds of inefficiency, which is a pressing issue since apparently we're already living in the Culture.
The Strategic Liability of Human Oversight in AI-Driven Military Operations
~~Oh unknowable genie of the sketchily curated datasets~~ Claude, come up with an optimal ratio of civilian to enemy combatant deaths that will allow us to bomb that building with the giant red cross that you labeled an enemy stronghold.
This is awful for sure, but thankfully low impact. Turns out that this Terminator Enjoyer is an unemployed idea guy. Maybe he's wrangling for an IDF contract?
From jobbie site:

Also, the image is perfect. I especially like the Joe Kucan-looking general embedded in the star trek tactical station. The Technology of Peace ain't what it used to be, is it?
human oversigh :(
and daiquiri nominations :)
Eliminating Mothman is our prime strattgic priority
Private Bbailcy! I see you back there! Cut it out with the oversighing, you're dragging down morale KPIs for this quarter!
Is that a screenshot from Command&Conquer 4?
what if C&4, but in the metaverse?
So, ethics and legality are strategic liabilities? Jesus fucking Christ, that’s not even sneer-worthy. This guy is completely fucking insane.
If you've convinced yourself that you'll mostly be fighting the AIs of a rival always-chaotic-evil alien species or their outgroup equivalent, you probably think they are.
Otherwise I hope shooting first and asking questions later will probably continue to be frowned upon in polite society even if it's automated agents doing the shooting.
This is straight up Hague material right there, all he wants is plausible deniability
Computer said so 🥺
e: that's a shit take for several reasons and we have autonomous killers already. it's called air defense (in some modes) because how many civilians are going at mach fuck with RCS of 0.1m^2, that's no civilian that's ballistic missile. also lmao at speed of decision
perun video on this topic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tou8ahLZvP4
Honestly the most surprising and interesting part of that episode of Power(projection)Points with Perun was the idea of simple land mines as autonomous lethal systems.
Once again, the concept isn't as new as they want you to think, moral and regulatory frameworks already exist, and the biggest contribution of the AI component is doing more complicated things than existing mechanisms but doing them badly.
