    The thing, western governments fear is AI-powered terminators. They want the tech first, so they can win the war when someone attacks them. That is the arms race part.

    The unemployment explosion is obviously also happening. But that’s actually a pretty good thing in the long run as a society with 90% unemployment and the need to work to live is absolutely unsustainable. AI will basically force the end of capitalism by increasing the system’s volatility until it adapts.

      LLMs will never be able to be terminators. This is just an expensive exercise in futility.

        I thought, LLMs would never become able to write code. And now, I use Claude Code as the always available senior on coke.
        LLMs have a reliability problem. If that gets solved somehow, they can actually drive a worker bot - or a terminator.

        And the big money pits also don’t only do LLMs. Those just get all the press because they are usable by normal users right now. Of course, some of those money pits are just investor scams. It’s a fully corrupted society after all.

      The thing, western governments fear is AI-powered terminators. They want the tech first, so they can win the war when someone attacks them. That is the arms race part.

      I think you’re right that this is what they are thinking, but they are being idiots.

      My bash script terminators will easily destroy any AI terminators.

      My bash scripts don’t hallucinate, and aren’t so bloated that they require an always-available link to a data center.

      What we call “AI” today is not remotely close to being a good combat-ready solution.

      The winners of any coming AI war won’t win it with the bullshit slop-peddling tools being pushed by con artists, today.
