Apply that to an active combat scenario, and it’s no longer black boxes talking to one another in a made up language, it’s unknown unknowns recommending actions that no one can even fathom that leads you to jump off a cliff because it’s for the lolz because Elon just tweeted so.

Yeah, so when I said β€˜AI’ I meant LLMs. Since what pushers of this most want is a Cortana by their side, that was my meaning.

But the problems continue to be hallucinations generally, that most answers are rewritten by Indian programmers, and inherent biases in the coding themselves.

Ha! All the white suburban pastel Qanon moms revolt when Starbucks runs out. And soon after, all the chardonnay disappears from the shelves too, and then they go full Black Bloc.

Aye. Biden noted multiple times that his affinity for Israel centered around the '67 and '73 wars too.

That said, even if there was a better age differentiation across Congress, I would still expect it to only be less ironclad.

Its also worth noting that the 9/11 war vets are hard pro-Israel.

This is why I want β€œβ€˜Murican Supremacist” added to the canon of American grand strategic thought.

Or just start referring to him and the MAGA theorists as Confederates, and theorize from there.

The only thing current AI is any good forβ€”finding repeating patterns.

What ticks, tells, biases, and common actions do certain commanders display when their data is captured.

Think in Red October, Crazy Ivan to starboard at the bottom of the hour. Which was a fake guess anyway to gain trust……

Being serious here, but we are going to now need to ask what do we do when our foisted-on-us AI tools start declaring themselves MechaHitler.

I also worked on the Human Domain doctrines, and all the inherent biases in AI makes any real assessment of HD issues irrelevant because of coding biases.

It’s less Boyd than the RMA people that they’re angry at here. The author has just strangely equated the two because the RMA people took the McNuggets of Boyd and demanded everyone apply sensors to everything, and said the fog of war will disappear.

Probably some anti-SOD thoughts in there too.

There is something satisfying knowing that it will all come undone because of this. The how, is unknown, but the loss of the levers of power make it inevitable. Which is why shovel-ready alternatives have to be ready to take control the moment it all happens.

I went down with a cold last week, so only just saw your piece in Liberal Currents on the Restrainers. Very nice.

But the entire Trump Admin and the MAGA backlash is a near-perfect example of the very things their works speak on. The absurdity of this moment, Hegseth's nonsense, and the diatribes from the cult faithful are precisely what they spoke of, to the point of being caricatures, yet are our daily fact.

The 'merit-based admissions' people always end up telling on themselves.

About 2004. Iraq broke many brains. Since they couldn’t fathom the invasion or the occupation, especially because of the incompetence shown, they became the β€˜real thinkers’ who focused on β€˜real interests’ and called themselves β€˜realist’ in opposition to the ideologues of Bush and the dreaded β€˜left’.

Having half a million Northern soldiers see slavery up close helped turned them against the South ideologically when they likely weren’t so originally.

They're all doing a very good job of showing everyone that the entire conservative cover of Constitutionalism, etc., was always just a ploy to impose the Confederacy.

In fairness, Trump has always looked more kindly on those who defeated the US.

Huzzah! Can’t wait to read it!

I once thought about the wording of a DOD Instruction on how to reduce the use of β€˜strategic’ in the org. I think it was calling everyone β€˜strategic leaders’ that pushed me over the edge.

Yet that is the hope of its adherents and the reason we’re still stuck with the word being using as it is in so many different ways.

Yeah, still struggle to see the difference. Especially since hitting a political target doesn’t mean it’s having a war ending impact.

And in a total war, the line between operational, logistical, and political is barely in existence

Any day now. Remember, being able to consider others’ agency, perspectives, or beliefs is treason to MAGA.

Anything that isn’t full throated Confed beliefs filtered through the Trumpian mind palace is β€˜DEI’ to these people.

COD: China.

Have it be two brothers. One each on the Nationalist/Communist armies.
Both fighting Japan. Either you end up in Beijing or Taiwan.

Russell Crowe played a Nazi skinhead in Romper Stomper in 1992. So we're going to have a real 'How it started/How's it going' meme in a short time, with the right amount of weight gain to go with it, too.
