I'm clearly tired. I first read "Wyoming War" and thought "huh, those AI sure are playing 4D chess" until I reread that title.

Calling AI to fancy algorithms is quite the stretch.
Why the actual fuck is anyone considering putting LLMs into the driving seat of anything?!
Of course they make fucked up decisions with no proper or justifiable rationale, because they have no brains. They're language models, stochastic parrots stringing together sentences to fit the prompt(s) given to them.
Exactly what I was thinking, it's just a language model....

oh no, the ai that can't even draw a cube in ascii is evolving into AM and secretly planning to nuke the planet grey.
This should come to a surprise by no one who has played Civilization. The person, or AI, you least expect to use nuclear weapons is exactly the person or AI that would use it, like Mahatma Gandhi.
Not gonna lie, Gandhi would be pretty low on my list of "people I'd expect to nuke the world."
Not just because he's a nonviolent Hindu, but also because he's dead.
Iirc, that was actually a bug that they decided not to fix because it became such a signature of the game.
It’s also why I’d always take out them first. As soon as I found them, I’d attack and put everything into wiping them out, then play the game as normal.
If the AI knows that a solution is available then it will think there's no reason not to use it. This is a demonstration of the morality of Nukes existing. If they exist someone will decide that they're the best solution to a problem.
Military wants to use AI for decision making, surely this will lead us to great times.
Also reminds me of The 100
It says they are exploring it. What would you like army to do? Ignore new technology?
The study shouldn't be "casting doubt." It should be obvious that using baby "AIs" for military decision making is a terrible idea.
