    Folks can go watch it and see. No need to be a butt about it.

      Don’t mind that turd. You took the time to do a thoughtful breakdown. It is a subtle nuance whether “Pentagon AI would be more ethical” or “AI managed by Pentagon staff would be used more ethically” and you were right to point it out. The headline could be accused of oversimplifying or clickbaiting but I don’t think it was intentionally falsifying claims. The real story, as you pointed out, is the sense of righteousness and declaring a moral high ground based on any religion.

        I think the general’s point stands, though.

        No matter what ethical system you might be using (to decide whether to turn over control of a combat situation to AI), the enemy might be using a different one, and come to different conclusions; and that in turn affects what conclusions you should come to.

        This is actually a decision theory issue; and that’s something that military strategists do study.
