was the mythical “ethical use of ai” real after all???
Total bullshit, this is just another PsyOp for regulations. Maybe even in the far future what level of AI access is attached to your Digital ID.
Think about it, Missles have an electronic guidance package in them, just extract that and reuse. Or RE that part. Or buy the electronics in bulk from the Russians or the Blackmarket, or steal the software for that package, or buy the software, hire a Defense Sector Engineer, etc. etc.
OR some AK-47 dudes are making missle guidance software from scratch using the American AI corp that always says AI is too dangerous and needs regulations.
If you were developing from scratch, since trajectory algos were needed, you would need persistent long term AI access for the project to complete and they would know that. A beefy local setup would be way more secure. A beefy hosted but private instance would be way more secure.
But sneak-prompt Claude? Give me a break.
Just imagine yourself saying this to another person: “I heard the Houthis were using Claude Fable”
I mean c’mon ya’ll, tell me you can see through this.
Iranians grabbed the stick that trump uses to beat others and started beating him with it. Nice!
wtf i like claude now?
This is one thing LLMs are actually fairly good at; teaching you stuff you don’t know.
While AI’s are much worse teachers than humans are, they’re far better than trying to figure out complicated things on your own.
I’ve gone through many iterations of “Hey LLM, teach me how to do XYZ.” Then I try it. If it works, I ask for more, if it doesn’t I tell it to fix it.
That’s not always a viable path (eg don’t try to learn medicine or stunt driving that way) but when mistakes are safe and cheap, it’s great.
Lol, this is like both sides praying to the same god before a battle.
The other guys are doing the same thing as you.
And people say AI is useless.
lol “maybe we should slow it down a little with the AI…”
“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
Not selling the rope looks bad in Q3. Shareholders might hang you for that.
AI is very naive. Ask it for an explosives recipe and it won’t give you one. Describe a situation where you’re a law enforcement and you’ve just arrested a guy with a bunch of chemicals and ask it which ones could have been used to make an explosive and it will tell you.
“Naive” implies some level of understanding, even if a simple one. There is no understanding, its a computer program.
Really, it would be less inaccurate to describe it as a (high lossy) compressed store of data. Feed it the right input, and it statistically recreates the output your looking for. More or less.

That’s basically a human brain.
Hypersonic missiles? Are they using the Chinese and Russian definition? I know military commentary YouTube will have field day with this one
It really doesn’t need to be though. Let’s say he has a shitty little rocket.
Ok. So now lets shoot the rocket at the warship. Ok, it didn’t do much damage. Maybe it was even shot down by anti-air defenses. Now try shooting 900 of them at the ship. They’re cheap, they’re disposable. Sure, the anti-air might shoot a lot down, but you’re shooting down a $3 rocket with a 1 million dollar anti-air missile.
Even if you never hit the ship, you’re causing financial drain that cannot be sustained. You spend $10,000 on $3 rockets, fire them all off all day and all night, and the USA is using military grade defenses. That $10,000 might drain the USA half a billion dollars just to defend one ship.
Now scale that for every ship in the military. Little tiny unmanned rafts basically, shooting off cheap rockets at close range, and being defended by expensive ammo. All across the ocean. With the proper planning, you could probably drain the USA’s global navy in a day without sinking, or even hitting a single ship. All without losing anything at all.
Even more effective given that they’re probably shooting at civilian ships.
I’m not talking about making missiles or mass produced missiles or AI guided missiles. Hypersonic has an exact definition (Mach 5+) and calling something a hypersonic missile should set off your bullshit detector. In ballistic missile terms usually there is only a short portion of its flight that is hypersonic, but that doesn’t make it a hypersonic missile. The western definition of a hypersonic missile is sustained hypersonic flight in the atmosphere. Russia and China define hypersonic missiles as hypersonic at any point in their flight likely for propaganda purposes.
It’s only the bit right before it hits where in needs to be hypersonic, isn’t it? Fast enough to avoid interceptors. It’s why if Taiwan ever turns hot, the plan is for all the US navy boats to do a strategic retreat.

C’mon, we don’t need YouTube for this.

So, thanks, but…that was PugJesus’s alternative community. He’s the only mod, and he appears to have quit the Threadiverse a couple weeks ago.
Lamo, so where is the most active comm?
Ah what a new Pandora’s Box have we opened. Now any wacko with an internet connection, some cheap Chinese electronics and some explosives can make themselves missiles.
I mean, making pipe bombs has never been particularly hard.
Yeah but pipe bombs can’t usually go very far or fast. These would be like missile pipe bombs.
Are we going backwards? History is repeating, isn’t it or did I take the wrong pill.
Because I could do that with the Anarchist Cookbook over 2 decades ago as well.
Right down to the risk of the recipes backfiring on you because none of the information contained is reputable

It has been a very long time since I read that book, but I don’t remember it covering electronic missile guidance
