"At the start of 2024, OpenAI’s rules for how armed forces might use its technology were unambiguous.
The company prohibited anyone from using its models for “weapons development” or “military and warfare.” That changed on January 10, when The Intercept reported that OpenAI had softened those restrictions, forbidding anyone from using the technology to “harm yourself or others” by developing or using weapons, injuring others, or destroying property. OpenAI said soon after that it would work with the Pentagon on cybersecurity software, but not on weapons. Then, in a blog post published in October, the company shared that it is working in the national security space, arguing that in the right hands, AI could “help protect people, deter adversaries, and even prevent future conflict.”
Today, OpenAI is announcing that its technology will be deployed directly on the battlefield.
The company says it will partner with the defense-tech company Anduril, a maker of AI-powered drones, radar systems, and missiles, to help US and allied forces defend against drone attacks."

@remixtures@tldr.nettime.org Because that’s where the big money is. And also, the “other side” will be doing it at pace - have you seen the swarm of robot-dogs-with-guns that China has under voice control?
