the creation of an Autonomous Warfare Command—or Autowarcom—"a new four-star combatant command with service-like authorities built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the joint force."
This is how skynet gets built.
Except it's dumb, has no self awareness, and it constantly hallucinates. And it's designed to target minorities.
I'm from the future... in 2027 you will got to war lead by a Palmer, an Elon and a Newt.
Okay, now can people stop covering the War Crime Gameboy? Like, can we all just agree to fully shun it? He's gonna bomb the children that Elon doesn't want to diddle, it's even less funny now.
"A board loaded with defense contractors and one draft-dodging war hawk will decide the future of the US military," said one observer. "What could possibly go wrong?"
It's OK though: they're overseen by a drunken TV host, and he's overseen by a senile pedophile rapist, and in any case all the big policy decisions are made by the zombie-eyed, hairless, friendless Nazi lurking in the shadows.
Last I recall Elmo thinks that stealth aircraft are pointless because they can be defeated by "cameras and AI" or some such. He literally thinks he's the smartest engineer in the world when he's not even an engineer.
This amount of corrupt rot and dunning-kruger has the promise of being a fatal bowie knife to the kidney of American military power, so I can't say I'm too unhappy.
They actually had to hire someone who's job it is to make sure Elon never talks to engineers. Because he had a bad habit of firing them when they contradicted him.
Which they did because he knew nothing about what he was talking about.
This problem was so bad it lead to a hiring crisis.
I think they also have a team at SpaceX to keep him away from important projects.
Not surprised.
Billionaires are not the best and brightest of us. They are people who merely have a lot of money which buys more money. They don't innovate, the success of their companies is in spite of them not because of them.
And I hope to see the revolution.
Especially these tech billionaires since most of their ideas and what they got off the ground with were already either being worked on by other people or are so basic of ideas that wouldve come about regardless. Just to use Henry Ford as an example the assembly line was revolutionary for the time since it allowed labor specialization on each step of production allowing for quick and cheap production via volume, which was a massive step up from the previous method of artisan assembly where a person or team of people worked on one vehicle at a time. Not to say Ford wasn't a dumbass but he had an actual skill for logistics and production.
Meanwhile look at Musk had he never invested in Tesla electric cars would've still become popular, hell without Tesla absorbing market space it's possible one of the more established car companies wouldve jumped onto the market niche far sooner. Also I don't think Musk is in possession of any skills.

Colt did it over 60 years before Ford. Ford's big achievement was coming up with a way to effectively apply it to car manufacturing. He was also very good at design for manufacturability, and design for maintainability with the widely available tech of the day. A blacksmith could fix a lot of things with a Model T.
Ford was not a dumbass. He was, however, a control frek, a racist, an antisemite and a proto-fascist.
Musk, on the other hand, has never done anything but own things. When he had to make decisions at PayPal, they were so bad that he was fired.
My point exactly in a far more succinct way. Though I will point out that it wasn't necessarily just cars that it was applied to but a lot of large products as well, a bit like when your playing a game and unlock a small version of a tech and then get a large version later.
Regardless Musk may as well be Ford but with none of the positives.
All Musk has is branding, he turned his name into a brand by making documentaries about how he's the real life Iron Man and building hype around the idea of him as a super genius.
How do stock holders continue to fucking allow this shit? This 100% costs money. And for what??
So merging XAI and SpaceX actually was a money saving idea because they could consolidate the don't let Elon talk to the engineer teams?
I'm not sure there's anything more infuriating than a billionaire who is incapable of grasping their intellectual limits.
Which is like fucking all of them.
A bag of potatoes would conduct more electricity than that groups brains.
A basket of deplorables. In charge of our nation's deployables.
They need to be luigied before they start WWIII
Palmer Luckey is Matt Gaetz's brother-in-law.
It makes sense when you realize the future of warfare will be on the US population.
What the fuck do you mean by the future of warfare? That's the most mask-off way of saying The Forever War is the endgoal itself. Why the fuck are we allowing these assholes to make so much money on murder?
So that failed community college lecturer Gingrich is part of this brain trust? Republicans revere him as an intellectual because he's read a book or two, and even had a few ghostwritten.
Fat asses whose cholesterol is near the tipping point are trying to lead the military. GTFO
