a company traded their values for money? gasp!

Who'd have guessed when the board ousted the CEO for being duplicitous!

Only for him to use his duplicitous advantage to have the people who removed him ousted, had himself re-instated, got married, and then decided the important thing was allowing his AI to be used as a weapon. So fucking wholesome.

Especially after things have shifted to show the future of warfare is cheap drones and AI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF3xiCSeqno

Sarah Connor can only keep pushing back Judgement Day for so long.

And with the decline in birth rates armies are going to have smaller pools of people to recruit from. Even the US army is experiencing a shortfall, and it's not getting better any time soon. Perun did a great video of this just recently.

It makes sense that if militaries won't be able to recruit the quantity and quality of troops that they would like to, they'd need to supplement those numbers with some kind of force multiplier.

Traded moral values for financial value. Tale as old as time.

Ah yeah so this is why they fired the CEO earlier

Someone got a fat cheque in the mail

I tried using chatGPT to solve a few wordles... It didn't understand enough to follow the rules. I'm sure in it's current state it can be trusted to make military decisions.

...I meant which version of chatgpt were you using?

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I am also 100% sure it can't be trusted yet to make important decisions.

However with a couple reminders from me about how the rules work, I have used ChatGPT 4 to solve Wordle.

Gotta get ready to turn a profit off of World War 3!

Israel's "Gospel" has shown us where this leads.

(it leads to civilian casualties and war crimes)

It's worse. For example, this war has been the deadliest for journalists in modern history, and by proportion of people killed maybe even the deadliest ever. They don't just target them in their homes, they target the families of journalists too. This is something new.

Pretty sure gov would do it secretly anyways. skynet, dark times are coming

Reminds me of when Google removed "do no evil" as a company policy and claimed they did it because the phrase didn't make sense... then turned around and helped the CPC track their citizens much more efficiently.

Helping an authoritarian government subvert their citizens doesn't make sense, but it does make dollars - or Yuan's.
