  • God what a depressing margin.

  • You can't be critical of a democrat without having an alternative candidate!

  • Nope, it has to be one of the two main parties, third party candidates are nonviable from the get-go.

    Oh, and it can't be anyone from one of the two main parties who's to the left of the consensus candidate, because they're unelectable.

    So why haven't you come up with an alternative to Newsom yet? Everyone's waiting!

  • Props to Brian McGinnis for landing on the right side of the issue, but it does kinda suck that the only way to be perceived as credibly anti-war in this country and not just a naive hippie is to first serve in the military.

    There are plenty of people out there with good ideas, they just seem to never break into the political mainstream

  • One of the many problems with an all-volunteer military is that if your society has a sufficient density of religious zealots with deep-seated animus for those outside of their personal tribal affiliation and dreams of a glorious afterlife, those folks end up taking a disproportionate share of your military leadership.

  • While the article doesn't directly suggest that the author thinks these systems might be unreliable, it does have this juxtaposition:

    “This is the next era of military strategy and military technology,” said David Leslie, professor of ethics, technology and society at Queen Mary University of London, who has observed demonstrations of AI military systems. He also warned that reliance on AI can result in “cognitive off-loading”. Humans tasked with making a strike decision can feel detached from its consequences because the effort to think it through has been made by a machine.

    On Saturday 165 people, many children, were killed in a missile strike that hit a school in southern Iran, according to state media. It appeared to be close to a military barracks and the UN called it “a grave violation of humanitarian law”. The US military has said it is looking into the reports.

    It is not known what AI systems, if any, Iran has embedded into its war-fighting machine, although it claimed in 2025 to use AI in its missile-targeting systems. Its own AI programme, hampered by international sanctions, appears negligible by contrast with the AI superpowers of the US and China.

    I pointed out elsewhere that just because the AI companies think that their products can deliver doesn't mean they actually can, and I think we'll see more and more instances of creators of these systems falling victim to their own hype machines. And while poor "AI" weapons performance can still create tragic outcomes for the people they're deployed against, it represents yet another gap in the empire's armor. A canny human opponent can learn how to game these systems and hopefully do so in a way that minimizes both the collateral damage and the loss of mission critical infrastructure. Maybe Iran will learn how to borrow 10,000 arrows.
