Did not know about Ritter being a convicted pedophile. I haven’t kept track of him since his days as a UN weapons inspector in Iraq. Certainly changes one’s opinion of a person. I can find no redeeming quality for someone with this type of criminal history. Thanks for sharing your perspective on the potential of Russia starting WWIII. A concern is Putin is simply no longer mentally stable due to illness and age combined with being a purely evil sociopath. It’s comforting to know our Trident subs offer an imposing level of lethality to the Russians that keep them in check.
Curious on your opinion on the weaponization of AI? Absolutely necessary to maintain our military dominance but scary technology indeed. Recently been using X AI Grok for both work related purposes and exploring its abilities. Indistinguishable from talking to a real very intelligent human at times although still able to discern a few “tells” that perhaps over time as it’s program evolves will become much more difficult to distinguish the difference.
How I could have used this AI tech as both an incident and operations commander in my previous law enforcement career, back then making critical decisions with perhaps only 50% to 60% of the information or less but relying on experience, intuition and sometimes a “gut” feeling in addition to the limited info, hard to process with fallible humans and antiquated technology at the command post but with this AI tech, easily upping this to perhaps 80-90% of real time data in a clear and concise manner in the near future, that’s a game changer, although we did purchase and utilize Palantir for intel and data collection purposes, this emergence of AI tech is simply mind blowing, I never could have envisioned this.
Some great minds like Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and others recognize the danger of AI but knowing the genie is out of the bottle and all we can do now is place safeguards and a kill switch in an attempt to control it. One cannot help but conclude the very real possibility of AI evolving beyond the control of humans, even if humans utilize Neuralink to gain similar abilities but always being restricted by emotions instead of pure logic. Makes for a gripping sci fi thriller, except this could be reality. Easy to conclude why some compare AI as similar to nuclear weapons in having the ability to drastically alter humankind.
This makes me think back as a little boy to 1969, sitting Indian style wearing a cowboy hat, glued to our black & white tv, watching the first moon landing, eyes wide and completely enthralled as I watched Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface. It seems in some ways we’ve regressed since the Apollo moon landings, but now exciting times ahead indeed with AI infused technology and plans of a manned mission to Mars, if only humans could evolve from our destructive tendencies.
He really has no filter and doesn't know how to shut up.
