      i love a reason to bring up this short on what will happen when we just cede everything to a power that makes decisions for us: this video - "LAST DAY OF WAR" - by Dima Fedotov | TheCGBros

    3. @bartmikaMar 2021· in “DARPA now has AI-controlled F-16s working as a team in virtual dogfights”

      > What puzzles me is that as of yet, there doesn't seem to be any talk of using "AI" (ie Neural Net stuff) for planning and strategy, which seems like a MUCH more powerful application than this stuff. It'll probably be so effective, it'll still be fighting long after all of humanity has destroyed itself and left an irradiated environment. Here are two science fiction short videos of an artist depicting such a future: "LAST DAY OF WAR" - by Dima Fedotov | TheCGBros - this video "Fortress/Крепость" - by Dima Fedotof | TheCGBros - [LINK] (edit: typofix)

    4. @fabianhjrApr 2018· in “Google Workers Urge C.E.O. To Pull Out of Pentagon A.I. Project”

      The problem emerges when an actor most become a monster to win, sort of like Mutually Assured Destruction. I think that scifi shorts have the duty and power to show us the paths that certain developments entail. For example: - Slaughterbots: [LINK] - Last Day of War: this video

    5. @jareklupinskiFeb 2023· in “The US Air Force successfully tested AI-controlled jet fighter”

      Don't forget the endgame this video > The last war broke out. All the people are dead, but the machines continue dutifully to follow orders.
