I've repeatedly said that AI doesn't have to be conscious or intelligent to be dangerous.
From here:
The artificial intelligence model Claude, developed by Anthropic, played an active role in the military operation that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro last month, according to multiple reports citing people familiar with the matter. The revelation marks the first confirmed use of a commercial AI model in a classified Pentagon combat operation and has ignited a behind-the-scenes battle over how far Silicon Valley’s AI safety guardrails should extend into America’s most sensitive military missions.
Rule 34 of the Internet says that, if something exists, there is porn of it. We should develop a Rule 666 based off the David Marcus quote from "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," in which Dr. Marcus says, "Scientists have always been pawns of the military."
Rule 666: New technology will be militarized.
Why science fiction matters: because it's a peek into, and a discussion of, the future.
That's something I've always banged on about, too. The focus on consciousness distracts people from what is really going on.
