    Meta Is Recruiting Former Pentagon Officials As It Ramps Up Military Ambitions

    Reading that headline is crazy, why would Meta have any military ambitions. And then in the first sentence of the text they mention AI. I guess they need to use AI for any possible application to show that they get value from their large investments.

      Why? Governmemt contracts of course. Sweet sweet borrowed money the feds shovel to their donor pals, then just kickback.

      Ai stuff is dark, real dystopian shit they are working on, israel did a bunch of it, kill decisions, killbots too, but analyzing associations and threat detection amd whatever else nazis had them program it to do in their reprisals against the ghetto.

      But they are putting these systems on all data, to make half baked threat assessments, dystopia past regimes could not dream of.
