Posted this in a comment but it's a must read for all.
I thought the military used LLMs for war but I was wrong. This substack talks about a piece of tech called Maven, used since Iraq, and goes into the ethics and validity of "shortening the kill chain"
Marc Garlasco, the Pentagon’s chief of high-value targeting during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, ran the fastest targeting cycle the US had operated to that point. He recommended fifty leadership strikes. The bombs were precise; the intelligence behind them was not. None of the fifty killed its intended target. Two weeks after the invasion, Garlasco left the Pentagon for Human Rights Watch, went to Iraq, and stood in the crater of a strike he had targeted himself. “These aren’t just nameless, faceless targets,” he said later. “This is a place where people are going to feel ramifications for a long time.”
Human Rights Watch letting in a guy who committed 50 war crimes in world record pace is not beating the "all human rights orgs are western fronts" allegations.
I had to look him up after that part. This guy is the reason we need human rights in the first place and he can just, join in after he killed civilians?
he would have been more helpful changing the cordinates and something in minecraftMakes sense, organizations that are actually serious about stopping human rights abuses become militant groups
So not only did the DoD still use Java but they haven't even switched their build pipeline to Gradle?
