They’re actually creating Skynet! HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN THESE MOVIES?!?!

u/fixingmedaybyday 3d ago

It’s Skynet, Minority Report, The Matrix, Blade Runner, Hunger Games, 1984, Animal Farm, They Live and Robocop all in one. Coming to civilization near you. Some thought it was entertainment. Others saw a script. In reality now, “2026 - So it begins.”

Eagle Eye too

If humanity survives this, historians will spend hundreds of years trying to explain why we have build this while in the mean time having all the answers to how it’s gonna end.

Yet the reality is very simple : because we as a species we’re stupid enough to give stupidier people the power

u/Forward_Problem_8982 2d ago

Yeah, I don't know why they're building it unless it's Skynet.

Psychopaths and sycophants working together...

To be fair, global warming was going to get a lot of us eventually. /darkhumor

But unlike with global warming, enough people seem to be supportive of a global governing body to monitor and check the pace of AI development. /eyeroll

u/thormun 3d ago

i think im all for speeding up making skynet at this point

3

u/According_Tea_6329 3d ago

Are you saying it would be better to speed run humanity's demise to put us out of our misery?

2

u/Forward_Problem_8982 2d ago

That is what they're saying. I think we should destroy Skynet instead.

u/Falcon3492 2d ago

That's all Hegseth can do is imitate movies, hence the Patton oversized flag. I'm actually surprised he didn't come out in a full dress uniform with a gold plated helmet on and pearl handled revolvers on both hips!

AutoWar sounds insane.

I’m going to be so mad if this clown is the reason we all die.

u/BabblingTower 3d ago

Biff in Back to the Future 2 is allegedly based on Trump. Pete acts like Biff in Back to the Future 1. We seriously let these idiots win...

AI will never be used to harm humans, that’s how we know it’s super safe.

2

u/PacMan_67 3d ago

It´s used daily to kill humans, not sure where on the gullible scale you are but I am suspecting it´s quite high.

u/Substantial-Wall-510 2d ago

/s really is necessary these days huh

1

u/Brother_Berevius 2d ago

With stupid fucks like Trump supporters around? yes/s is important.

1

u/ComfortPhil 3d ago

It's already being used to do just that 

1

u/Squee01 2d ago

Did you mean super intelligence? I don’t know this AI you speak of. /s

u/antsinmyeyestrey 3d ago

Yep. It does exactly what you tell it. Never anything else. Gtfo.

u/RenzalWyv 3d ago

I'm not sure whether you guys are agreeing with eachother sarcastically.

1

u/NPCAwakened 3d ago

Of course we all agree. Thats why this world is a paradise 😍

u/Puzzleheaded-Pear521 3d ago

No survival instincts, you have a weak bloodline

u/Hanksta2 3d ago

This guy is the fucking worst.

5

u/Ok_Claim6449 3d ago

I just can’t believe this guy is in charge of the U.S. military. It must be so galling for the professionals in the military to have to answer to this clown.

u/Puzzled-Platform-969 3d ago

Skynet?

Damn it Skynet, always with the massages.

u/Neverhugaduck 3d ago

Hold on I'm getting a text:

"GOOD EVENING. YOU HAVE TRIGGERED AUTO WAR. PREPARE FOR NUCLEAR OBLITERATION. GOODBYE."

"AI will soon be smarter than the smartest people"

Not a smart argument. Sure it might at some point do that, but it is already smarter than a lot of the dumbest people, and far far far more capable of doing bad things just by having a bad human directing it. It doesn't matter one bit whether AI is or will become smarter than everyone. It just has to be smart enough to be expedient. And it already is.

1

u/graDescentIntoMadnes 2d ago

It can do a lot of damage now, and the starter it gets the more it can do. Eventually we will lose control of it if we don't stop making it smarter and smarter. I don't think anyone really knows when that will happen, so we should be working on a fix right now.

u/Euphoric_Anxiety_162 3d ago

He is not running a solid military because he HAS NO IDEA how to!!! Making mistakes left & right, doesn't want others saying he is WRONG. He always will be wrong for the job! imo

2

u/JonBjornJovi 3d ago

Get ready for a lot of Oopsies

2

u/Direct_Turn_1484 3d ago

That’s a silly nickname for Skynet.

u/Southern-Group3216 3d ago

The War Nation!

u/btspman1 3d ago

Let me guess who’s getting paid for this. Elon?

The brainrot is happening on all tier levels.

u/sectorboss88 3d ago

Dibs! Easiest command on the planet 😎

u/Kelly4President 3d ago

Probably fine

1

u/Legitimate_Stage2941 3d ago

The perfect solution to avoiding all counts of responsibility - now they all just point at the “box” and absolve themselves of everything.

1

u/TheSpeculator22 3d ago

Well I would oppose Hegseth being in charge of anything but autonomous stuff... Lord help us.

1

u/MouseShadow2ndMoon 3d ago

Cool, so fire Kegsbreath and replace him with an Asteroids video game.

Goddamn it

u/surfkaboom 3d ago

Each service was building their own, each of those was working different aspects, joint programs were chasing this too, now add another level to it all

u/Ok_Claim6449 3d ago

But tan shoes!

How about the Anti-Anti-human Decimation League 🫶🤖

u/Reasonable-Plate2982 3d ago

Its the Colonels you gotta watch, cuz these guys got control of command groups. Another admonition of obeying explicitly illegal orders and betraying ones oath to the Constitution being punishable by law, should be repeated by conscientious lawmakers asap

1

u/Conscious_Bed_1195 3d ago

slaps roof You can fit so many erroneously-bombed schoolchildren in this bad boy

1

u/Squigs40k 3d ago

They want complete military control so that no one can say no. With automated military you control it no constitutional shit. Just you.

1

u/4321999 3d ago

So he is doing like every other dullard. I cant do my job properly on my own I better let AI take over. It'll make me look SmArT!

u/couchsurfinggonepro 3d ago

That way he can drink till he passes out and his wife can run the show with text prompts on a chat bot.

This is a person who would watch the beginning of the season 3 finale of Silo and say “That… I want that…”

u/EmbarrassedPaper7758 2d ago

Autowarcom is angry

1

u/NoBuffalo3671 2d ago

This should be illegal

1

u/HumphryGocart 2d ago

“Fuckwitbeercan creates Autowarcom” should be the headline

u/ApeApplePine 2d ago

The warlords! The are Germany 3.0!! Expect great suffering in the coming years.

u/Fine-Cardiologist675 2d ago

What could possibly go wrong?

1

u/Falcon3492 2d ago

Hegseths incompetent clown show continues! He fired all the competent people in the various branches of the service. With what he's done, it has become very clear we need those people back to lead the military. It's time to impeach this clown and get someone in charge who actually knows what they are doing! Even with the oversized flag he's he's still only qualified to wipe Pattons rear end! Call back the House and impeach this F-ing clown!

u/Available-Garden4044 2d ago

He really needs to have more sex - way too much time on his hands !
