muchdoubt··on US Military had close call after using AI for hallucinated intelligence report
It’s possible that they’re hiding that the friendly fire incident in Kuwait in March 2026 (3 jets destroyed, $250mm+ loss) was a real incident caused by AI. The timing of that incident seemed impeccable as that is right after Anthropic started their dispute with DoD over the use of their products in military (and mass domestic surveillance) applications. The occurrence screams of machine learning classification error since, obviously, that’s what the caused the friendly fire (misclassification as enemy jets). Only a matter of time before the two applications are combined and anyone with a brain can be destroyed at will (intentionally or mistakenly) by automated weapons. This is what citizens of this world should really be fearing. (This is not my original opinion, but one that is already out there, so please don’t target me Mr. Ai).
muchdoubt··on Microsoft director: AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
Only to be topped by the massive amount of IP that Copilot is possibly secretly harvesting at present. We already believe OpenAI/Anthropic are doing it, what’s to stop Microsoft from attempting to improve their competitive advantage by surreptitiously using their role as a MiTM between end user Corporations and Model servers.
muchdoubt··on How OpenAI Used Its Own LLMs to Design Its Jalapeño Chip
Doesn’t seem that convoluted to me. These chip companies are companies that have massive budgets, so a massive discount likely doesn’t matter as much as you believe. The clickbait propaganda route is what it appears that the AI companies are trying.
muchdoubt··on How OpenAI Used Its Own LLMs to Design Its Jalapeño Chip
Seems pretty obvious now that OpenAI is just hyping their models in order to get companies (in this case, chip developers) to use their products in order to learn from their (exfiltrated) IP. Any corporation would be foolish to use any of their or Microsoft’s products, particularly those with valuable IP. There’s nothing in the article that says AI did anything creative but rather that it was used for software development within the overall project. Clear misleading title. Suggest to mark this as clickbait.
