Yes hopefully Congress gets the basic training they desperately need. But seriously. Should soldiers be refusing to murder civilians on boats? If the law is clear (which I think it is) and they should be refusing why aren't they? The a

How are they supposed to know what's legal? Congress can't even agree if murdering civilians on boats is legal or not.

I think people need to figure out how to demonstrate they can add value on top of AI rather than showing they can do it all from scratch with a "closed book".
