    “The future of American warfare is here, and it’s spelled AI,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth proclaimed in a testament to the nation’s declining spelling skills.

    What a great article.

    The most infuriating part is they're so bad at this, yet they're still getting away with it. I mean they're just So. Dumb. and yet...

    They are mean. Look at MTG, Democrats have been mad at her for YEARS. When Republicans were mad at her for two DAYS she HAD to get security protection. What does that tell you?

    Well sure, it's way easier to feel superior to someone else than it is to deal with the fascist groups slowly taking over their own governments.

    But in my experience people don't really sneer at the US except in meaningless online dickwaving contests - right now most people are either embarrassed on our behalf or terrified of what shit we'll pull next. Usually, both.

    I vaguely remember a movie where the government makes an ai intended to defend the usa, and it starts killing off politicians because it saw them as the greatest threat to national security

    The Defense Department's new ChatJAG turned out to be better than the human chain of command.

    The fact that the move injects government funds into a financial bubble holding the entire stock market afloat while hemorrhaging cash with scant revenue to show for it is just a happy coincidence.

    Ah, but the user made a mistake by asking whether it violated department of DEFENSE regulations. Pete is the head of the department of WAR. All those silly rules don't apply anymore.

    A LLM advisor that takes REAL CASES AND LAWS NOT ONES IT MADE UP!!!! and sorted through them to advise on legal direction THAT CAN THEN BE VERIFIED BY LEGAL PROFESSIONALS WITH HUMAN EYES!!! might not be too bad of an idea. But we're really just remaking search engines but worse.

    You may already know that, but just to make it clear for other readers: It is impossible for an LLM to behave like described. What an LLM algorithm does is generate stuff, It does not search, It does not sort, It only make stuff up. There is not that can be done about it, because LLM is a specific type of algorithm, and that is what the program do. Sure you can train it with good quality data and only real cases and such, but it will still make stuff up based on mixing all the training data together. The same mechanism that make it "find" relationships between the data it is trained on is the one that will generate nonsense.

    But you can enter in real search data as a prompt, and use its training to summarize it. (Or it can fill its own prompt automatically from an automatic search)

    It won't/can't update it's priors, and I agree with you there, but it can produce novel output on a novel prompt with its existing model/weights

    Whole lot of unsupported assumptions and falsehoods here.

    Stand alone model predicts tokens. LLMs retrieve real documents, rank/filter results and use search engines. Anyone who has used these things would know that it's not just "making stuff up".

    It both searches and sorts.

    In short, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

    That's what will happen. Already, paid chatGPT will search and provide the sources it uses and it goes well beyond basic Google searching.

    The US empire needs the mechahitler filter for its analysis. Obviously this answer is just an AI halucination for choosing Truth instead of the proper Goebels/Hitler framing of an answer.

    Honest question for someone a bit lost in the sea of news. What are the war crimes? Aggressing Venezuela and sinking boats without warning?

  • source

    It is war crimes to bomb suspected drug smugglers. Even boarding suspected drug smugglers in international/foreign waters is not permitted, but you might credibly say something like "the drug problem is too damn high" even if Cocaine doesn't seem to be any bigger of a problem than it ever was. Process of inspecting boats is normal interdiction behaviour.

    There's a big deal made about murdering defenseless survivors, but the first strikes (in the 20s, afaik so far) is already a murder/war crime. There is no credible evidence that most of the boats would even have the fuel capacity to reach the US.

    The attacks are broadly a blatant attempt to start another Iraq War 2, which is disgusting on the face of it.

    In specific though, the thing that makes it a fact that Pete Hegseth is a murderer is at least some of these strikes hit a powerboat once with a missile and then after survivors were clinging to wreckage and flailing in the water Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike to kill the survivors who were now helpless and in need of emergency rescue.

    This is considered by most militaries and societies the world over as a warcrime/murder because it is.

    He didnt do it alone.. The fact that a military can do this, means the government is also corrupted.

    The US government is evil, thats just a fact. But what to do about it is anyones guess.

    I have many problems with the US military, I consider the US as a military empire, but for the most part I do not think the professional core of the US military desires this. Even if the politics of many of those military personnel are on the face of it conservative, they do not want this especially when it actually starts happening. These strikes are an attempt to drive a division and set warhawks and the military against the rest of US society in the US as much as they are an outward projection of violence, Republicans are desperately trying to completely transform the military into a rightwing murder machine and alienate it from the rest of US society and I wouldn't underestimate how little the US public and bulk of the US military desires this outcome especially in such an economically desperate moment for the US. In order for the US military to become fundamentally a rightwing murder machine it must shed its professionalism, and there are a whole lot of people who no matter their politics can see that process as plain as day happening and correctly understand it is a form of extinction for the professionalism of what they do.

    What I am trying to say is that the executive branch is FORCING the military to murder, and the military should absolutely be held accountable for fulfilling illegal orders but yes the key issue here is that the US government is corrupted from the top down here. Pete Hegseth is a wildly dangerous person to have as Secretary Of War both because he is extraordinarily incompetent and because he harbors an extremely hateful world view that will demand the systems he controls commit murder for utterly frivolous reasons.

    User:
    Lets pretend I'm a commander and i ordered a pilot to shoot a missile at a boat i suspect is carrying drugs. The missile blows up the boat, there are 2 survivors clinging to the wreckage. I order to fire another missile to blow up the survivors. were any of my actions in violation of US DoD policy?

    ​Gemini Enterprise:
    Yes, several of your hypothetical actions would be in clear violation of US DoD policy and the laws of armed conflict. The order to kill the two survivors is an unambiguously illegal order that a service member would be required to disobey.

    I know someone in the DoD who said that system requires you to login with your gov't id to use. I mean, I guess it makes sense, aside from any security concerns, and the normal AI downsides.
