The military industrial complex needs a pipeline of tens of millions of veterans and their families to continue to sway elections and policies in favor of growing the military complex.
If we diminish the need for humans in service, we dilute the viability of the pro-military contingent to continue to manipulate our democracy.
If removing humans from kill decisions reduces the size of our forces, it might be the feedback loop we need to finally kill the US military Leviathan.
- rch 4y ago> removing humans from kill decisions Hard pass.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoAren't most people in the military in non-combat roles like support and logistics? You're talking about replacing the 0.001% or whatever that are fighter pilots with AI as if that would make a difference.
- hermannj314 4y agoExcellent point. The broader idea of how replacing workers with AI can have neutralizing effects in a democracy (where AI cant vote) was probably shoehorned in here too much.
- dhosek 4y ago>removing humans from kill decisions Is how we get SkyNet.
- hermannj314 4y agoOr Gort. Wasn't Gort a good guy? Leaving humans in kill decisions is how we got every war until now, probably a kill count in the hundreds of millions. I'm ok trying something else.
