Trump and the Pentagon are fighting for AI weaponry. [View all]

Trump & Hegseth want AI machines that kill without hesitation, ethics, or moral compass.

The companies capable of developing such arms are queasy about being responsible for war crimes if it gets out of control and they want nothing to do with it. Even a number of top brass in the Pentagon have expressed misgivings about the lack of guardrails to ensure innocents aren't killed.

Hegseth doesn't give a crap about morals, liability, or guardrails. He just wants to point a finger at people and have them die at his command. Him & Trump figure AI will fit right in with their "Dept of War"

This is the excerpt from my local on the matter:
