ukraine is using ai in a military context with some effectiveness. i dont think theres much of a problem with having the drone take over the last couple minutes of blowing up a russian factory


but the "people defending you" have been commiting clear and obvious war crimes?


they could use a different provider for the kill chain.

we must use claude to decide whether to nuke iran, or else our gun manufacturers arent allowed to use to to run spreadsheets

is a bit ridiculous.


it hasnt actually been renamed though.

the name is still the department of defence by law. department of war is a subheading tagline


given that the US likes to declare jurisdiction whenever somebody touches a US dollar, any thoughts on why those same constitutional protections wouldnt follow?


Because that's the way US courts have chosen to interpret the law. In the US legal system, it does not matter what you or I think the words could be interpreted to mean. The courts have final say, and the consensus interpretation is built from their historical decisions.

is that actually their approach? amazon already had a technique for limiting access to prod, by denying access without one of your team members agreeing that that needs to be done.

maybe they skipped it to get access to prod in some way, such that the cloudformation could be deployed from a developer desktop? or the thing they got permissions to has too broad of permissions.

a choice of "a person needs to read this" vs "a machine needs to push back on this" has amazon as far as ive seen push to the latter


if anyone gets a production line running for ai writing good code that steadily improves, its amazon.

the COE process is pretty robust for putting together good training material and deterministic checks.

its gonna keep getting these errors, and tend towards not getting the same error twice


oh. i was excited for a native alternative to happy coder, or sshing to a tmux session, but i guess not:/
