Here, in a nutshell, is why using AI for military purposes is worse than dangerous:
If you ask it for a plan to attack something, it will never respond "that's bad idea, don't do it."
@petergleick I've gotten LLMs to give me a detailed plan to get humans to Alpha Centurai by 2030. I suspect any war planning will be just as realistic.

@petergleick That's also the reason why the top brass loves it.

@petergleick you keep in mind that attacks cost resources and resources are crucial in war, so an AI trained for military use will keep that in mind and will say when it's a bad idea. The Collateral Murder scandal among countless others did show that humans, US in this case, don't need AI to hunt Reuters journalists for shits n giggles.

@petergleick
I tried. I asked an actual AI to for a plan, how I could attack my neighbor. It said: "No, I don't do that".
Problem is. Military can order their own AI without limitations. -

@petergleick in Ukraine both sides have been using AI for both target identification and sometimes actually killing people. So it’s being tested in the real world.

@petergleick Not enough people have seen https://youtu.be/jWQ1ITS94cA?t=86 as kids and/or when it came out, and it shows.

@petergleick if you really must agitate against AI, please, not on ChatGPT level, so here is a thought for you for free: AI will take many things into account of an attack, value of target, collateral damage, reputation loss, ...but in defense also reputation *gain* when the enemy leads successful attacks and danger to own troops by such attacks. hard to teach the public how dangerous the enemy is if not a single of their rockets gets through. I'm more worried that AI will be *way* too efficient

Note: I do not think that AI should be used in targeting or killing people. The below podcast is from four months ago so it’s already somewhat dated.

@petergleick More or less the same happening with the current counselors of the commander in chief.
The scary case of humans on par with the current LLMs - no, I didn't exchange the order of subjects. -

One yes-man to replace them all.

@petergleick And yet, is the result any different to asking an experienced general with high intelligence, if the person asking the question is a narcissistic president with low intelligence?

And you can be pretty certain it was not trained on the Geneva Conventions.

@petergleick I'm a little concerned now that the real risk of Iran's missiles for mainland America is how the MAGAts are going to react to emasculating losses.
We're set to lose the first aircraft carriers to be sunk since Pearl Harbor if their capabilities are what we've been told.
This is going to destroy some people.

@NeussWave @petergleick An LLM isn't a real AI. It's not doing the thinking you're doing to decide which things are relevant.
We did not make any big breakthroughs in *real* AI, we just made Stochastic parrots.

@liquor_american @petergleick
Every human answers hypothetical questions too, if you ask with a smile and a twinky-twonky. No difference to AI. -

@gooba42 @petergleick Illusions are meant to be destroyed.
Starting wars without any real objective is stupid. Starting wars in the Middle East, doubly so.

That's not... How AI works...
Folks who do not use it, create AI mythos, that's based around their understanding of it.
Which is fine... If you don't need credibility and you are talking into your echo chamber

See, this is what I mean by "mythos"
"Stochiastic parrot" is right up there with "Strawberry" and number of fingers.
Energy Language Model is a thing (kona.1) but you'd never know about it dancing around the fire with the other woodfolk.

2 marzo 2014: muore Elvira Banotti
@anarchia
di Bruno Lai. Nel 1970 “Rivolta Femminile” scuote l’Italia del patriarcato e dei crimini silenziosi contro le donne. Elvira Banotti (1933-2014) è una delle protagoniste più dirompenti, radicali e “scomode” del femminismo italiano. È una donna intransigente. Il suo approccio...https://www.rivoluzioneanarchica.it/2-marzo-2014-muore-elvira-banotti/

Questo brano tradizionale mi ha sempre commosso. In fondo è la storia di tutti i disperati del mondo che tentano un qualche passaggio verso migliori condizioni di vita.
Ciascuno ha il suo passaggio a Nord-Ovest, ciascuno con le sue speranze naviga bene per questo fa naufragio.
