War Games was a computer planning planet destroying nuke attacks because it was taught to play chess and not tic tac toe. it needed to learn about pointless victory. This is a bunch of jackasses in a room buying a thinky box asking it questions and taking the answers seriously enough to go to war relieving themselves of the burden of thought and common sense. this isn't War Games, it's a classic Star Trek episode except Kirk never shows up to teach us that you can't let a fucking computer program run your fucking military intelligence, because that's INSANE. Why would you do that? you need multiple human eyes on everything going on, you can't let a fucking language model do it for you... my god.... it's children doing their homework with AI, except their homework is the apparatus that used to enforce the rule of law on a global scale. granted, that was always a lie as it's more the gun that enforced colonial interests, but still. a gun that decides it need to start shooting random people who could win a war against us depending on the lines drawn and the time frame is a pretty dangerous thing to let go.
