    So basically a self serving CEO of a defense contractor giving more justification for buying his products.

    And people wonder why the military industrial
    Complex is such a big issue.

    [Nerd] the Palantir was created by the greates Elf Feanor originally in the First Age. It was only when Sauron corrupted Numenor that the Palantiri became tools of evil. [/nerd]

    Ya my baseline knowledge is just from the movies and knowing Sarauman used it to spy on his enemies.


    But one thing I've learned from this project is that if you wrap data mining around western chauvnism and supremacy, you'll get a lot people to defend it when they wouldn't in any other instance.

    This project has a lot of fascist undertones to it.

    I don't think their product has a great reputation among its users. First mover advantage...

    Alex is clamouring for a race to the bottom in order to stay on top. Ethical AI and military doesn't mix, so him assuring that they'll be responsible with it "more than the bad guys" when the bad guys are crippled with export restrictions is typical of the disingenuousness of the industries he's in (tech + defense)

    An AI arms race is literally the backstory for "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream."

    Unfortunately, the race is happening one way or another. China and Russia are not going to stop just because we ask them nicely.

    No, they won't stop because we ask them to. China and Russia will only halt for reasons intrinsic to their authoritarian regimes, as they need to maintain control over every aspect of information and data. These restrictions will inevitably impede the development of AI. People may not realize the extent to which China has already regulated AI.

    I’m all for creating robots than think for themselves and terminate enemies

    we need them now , imagine how we can destroy all our enemies and also ensure the elimination of crime
    All in precise efficiency without human error

    Imagine AI drones with a cloaking device stopping looters in California with semi lethal laser weapons that burn the retinas of the thugs trying to steal air Jordan’s
