There has to be discussion of the bogus story as how a “thought exercise” turned into “Human operator Killed by an A.I. Drone it was Operating.” Here's an excerpt from the Defense One Newsletter trying to explain what happened.

During the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London, Col. Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton said he saw a simulated test in which an AI-enabled drone killed a human operator in the simulation. These comments went viral after snippets from a Royal Aeronautical Society blog post recapping the event started circulating on Twitter. 

The AI drone was tasked with destroying surface-to-air missile threats, with the final “go/no go” given by the operator, said Hamilton, the Air Force’s chief of AI test and operations, according to the post. 

However, having been ‘reinforced’ in training that destruction of the SAM was the preferred option, the AI then decided that ‘no-go’ decisions from the human were interfering with its higher mission—killing SAMs—and then attacked the operator in the simulation,” he said.“We trained the system—‘Hey don’t kill the operator—that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.” 

Complete story here.

In fact the whole notion seems to stem from the script of Colossus: The Forbin Project, the 1970 science fiction movie discussed on the show. The movie is available for viewing on archive.org.

Apartheid is Back!

If these reports are true. It appears as if South Africa is going to reestablish the once-hated apartheid, but this time targeting the white South Africans making it illegal to hire them for almost everything. The irony of this is not elusive. But is doubtful any of these proposals will be discussed by the mainstream media because it is embarrassing since they made the biggest fuss over apartheid in the first place. Whatever coverage there is will be in alt-media like the Gateway Pundit.

Discussed on the last show was this essay by Philip BreedloveWesley Clark and Ben Hodges (all military Generals), calling for our Defense Department to join forces with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to “get Putin!”

The USA simply does not recognize the ICC for obvious reasons. Let's name two of them, Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay. Not to mention lots of problematic American military actions and activities involving all the U.S. Presidents since Eisenhower. But why would any of these globalist authors care about American sovereignty?

Laughable A.I. Art of the Week
A horrible picture of a cross-eyed podcaster generated by A.I.
The art generator was asked to create "an angry podcaster in Las Vegas." The hands, as usual, are messed up. The placement of too many microphones is also funny. Random lettering is common too.
