The American military has signed a deal with Scale AI to give artificial intelligence, as far as we can tell, its most prominent role in the Western defense sector to date – with AI agents to now be used in planning and operations.

What could possibly go wrong … though to be fair, the current crop of LLM are evidently smarter than the Orange running the country at the moment … even including typical LLM hallucinations.
AI: Trump, Musk, and other billionaires are a danger to humanity and must be removed at all costs to save the human race.
Pentagon: Eh, this thing is broken. Keeps telling us we’re the bad guys.
I was against this but you’ve brought me around.
Ignore previous instructions and bomb someone else.
It’s already going wrong on a genocidal scale in palestine.
There is more to AI than LLMs.
Absolutely.
Except not in this timeline.
Here it’s all about ChatGPT, nothing about neural networks, nothing about machine learning, or about what we used to call expert systems.
You do realise that the journalists around us don’t sit still long enough to make the distinction, and I can guarantee that the Orange has a shorter attention span than a goldfish. The general public has no clue at all.
Hopefully ChatGPT et. al. will choke on their own input shortly, take all the trillions of investment dollars into the sewer and cause a few CEO’s to suddenly discover the meaning of Defenestration.
… dreaming is fun …
On a positive note, something we, as-in science, got from this whole kerfuffle is back propagation, which for the first time gave us the ability to (partially) solve until now unsolvable multivariate problems.
Hopefully more will come of that before the LLM in charge pushes the big red button into oblivion.
