Recently revised Pentagon policy allows for autonomous use of lethal force. In test later this year, combat drone will be asked to chase, kill simulated target, coming up with own strategy for mission. Second program’s goal is Air Force that is more unpredictable and lethal.
Not too far from Skynet.
The writers this season really are getting lazy.
First thing i thought of lol
Well, that reeks.
a more specialized version of the type of programming now best known for powering chat bots
Oh fuck they put ChatGPT into a murderbot.

“I’m not going to have this robot go out and just start shooting at things,” General Jobe said during a briefing with Pentagon reporters late last year.
Oh, well, that’s nice.
But I thought AI was just cute robots making hand gestures in public? /s
Wait until these things kill a lot of innocent people and there is nothing to blame but a computer program.
Or, that’s the perfect way to deflect blame. Oopsie… we will review and revise the code to prevent this from happening… Repeat ad Infinitum
The last time they tried this the UAV decided that the operator was interfering in their goal so it adapted to try to kill the home base because the operators were telling it not to destroy targets, and all it understood was “killing targets = good”.
Can you link the source? I recall the last time that story popped up, it was a hypothetical situation that someone was saying in a conference, not something that they observed either in practice or a simulation.
Looks like even the original article I could find was updated to state that it was a hypothetical.

Apparently it was a story told by an Air Force colonel at an aeronautics conference, who later retracted it.
Nah, it’s real, there’s a documentary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_(film)
This is really hard to believe even without an article saying it is hypothetical lol
