When I say that the military complex wants AI specifically so they can abdicate responsibility of decision making, people often find this idea confusing. Here's a very clear way to understand it.
The letters being sent now that start "We are sorry to inform you that your son or daughter have lost their lives in the line of duty..." Are now being written by ChatGPT.
Sit with that and tell me how it feels.
"We invented a database analyzer that answers questions!"
"Correctly?"
"Oh. No. Well..."
"Well...?"
"It's correct just barely enough to deceive the people that don't know the difference between catastrophic and correct"
"That's sub-optimal.."
"And profitable!"
"...aha."
Dumpling lasagna is disgusting and if you bring it to me I will absolutely look down upon you.
No questions at this time.
I hope wherever she is, she can see the effect of what she taught me and how I'm a professional writer now too. Chasing dreams and creating worlds at a keyboard because she gave me gentle first steps forward into being inspired.
When she decided not to read it anymore, she leant it to me because I was enraptured.
I spent the rest of the week and the weekend right after, plowing through the entire book, something like 350 pages.
I actually read it twice in that span (following Dandin and Mariel first and then later reading through Joseph's story).
She was so impressed I read it in a week that she gave me Mossflower and Redwall next.
Rest in Peace Mrs. Rokne.
I have just learned that my Grade 3 teacher, Mrs. Rokne has passed away. She was extremely beloved in my elementary and personally, she is basically entirely responsible for my love of fantasy books.
She used to read to my class for a half hour every day, a variety of books. One day, she read to us Brian Jacques' Bellmaker. The class did not like it, or more accurately the class couldn't really follow along and fell asleep here and there, but I loved the book.
Just saying:
Quoting Andrea Pritzer, "The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards."
I just want to point out. In literal actual war, you are not allowed to disarm an 'enemy', tell them to lay face down on the ground restrained, and then shoot them in the head. And then shoot them a FURTHER NINE TIMES.
