The irony is how quickly we had shifted from AI will help in curing cancer and other diseases to using AI to destroy and kill our enemies. What weird times to be alive!
I truly believe they are all psychopaths and the rest of it is theatre for the masses. A good guy vs bad guy narrative is easy to sell and distracts people from the fact that human life is not valued by any of them.
Claude may have just bombed an elementary school, meanwhile Dario is whining that Altman and Trump, two well-known psychos, didn’t play fair for a military deal. Anthropic is the last bastion of the sanctimonious neolib and hopefully this war marks the end of that failing ideology.
"You're right, my fears about potentially starting WW3, millions of innocent people being killed and crashing the global economy were over blown...Now I have all the details, I think your plan sounds wonderful! Should we go ahead with that military operation right away?"
Only a matter of time until Department of War starts blaming AI for its errors. I predict that it will soon replace "I don't remember that" as the standard excuse.
My homebaked threat models predict exactly this. But I imagine there could be some financial style hiccups too, for sci-fi, perhaps something that ushers a CBDC as the solution. Stay tuned.... And remember FDIC cannot handle a large event. It's been admitted.
