This is also a rug pull for many international researchers working at google.
How should they feel helping to build weapon systems for a country that openly threatens their home countries or close allies?
If google didn't start with "don't be evil" and didn't continue to pledge not use use AI for weapons, this would be different.
This is as bad as having an "Open" for-profit company.
Let's see which of the big labs remain attractive non-US citizens.
- tim333 2y agoThe no weapons thing was fine for years but now you've got Putin sending thousands to troops Europwards there's an argument for using tech to stop that. Also detering the Chinese who will no doubt develop AI weapons themselves.
