- mtgx 9y agoOh, I get it. So Google's AI only "advises" the Pentagon who its targets should be, and then the Pentagon takes the huge engineering role of implementing "if Google advice = true, then launch missiles." This way Google is completely "guilt-free" and can still pretend it's "making the world a better place" wink wink nudge nudge.
- majewsky 9y agoLet's hope that this is not C or C++, where "(foo = true)" always evaluates to true.
- kirubakaran 9y agoI get your joke, but the parent comment means "if the advice is from Google, then launch missiles", not "if it is a correct advice from Google, then launch missiles", so the assignment vs comparison question doesn't apply.
