The Pentagon is Investing $2 Billion into AI (cnn.com)
The Pentagon's high-tech research agency laid the groundwork for the Internet, stealth aircraft and self-driving cars. Now, it's going big on artificial intelligence. From a report: At its 60th anniversary conference on Friday, DARPA announced a $2 billion investment to push the frontier of AI forward. "We think it's a good time to seed the field of AI," John Everett, the deputy director of DARPA's Information Innovation Office, told CNNMoney. "We think we can accelerate two decades of progress into five years." [...] DARPA's investment will focus on creating systems with common sense, contextual awareness and better energy efficiency. Advances could help the government automate security clearances, accredit software systems and make AI systems that explain themselves.
And now we know what all the "AI hype" was for: more government handouts. Good job all around.
"we can accelerate two decades of progress into five years" Cause that's how you get Skynet.
It's no problem. We can afford it by borrowing the $2billion from China, as part of the $700billion defense budget, piling it on the budget deficit and adding it to the national debt so we can blame the next Democratic president for the debt being too high. You don't need an AI to see where this is going.
Deficits don't matter when a Republican is president, but like night follows day, they will become a huge issue as soon as a Democrat takes office.
It's called the "Two Santa Claus Theory" and was created by a Republican "strategist" and pundit named Jude Wanninski in 1976.

You are welcome on my lawn.
"We think we can accelerate two decades of progress into five years."
Therminator! With H-bombs!
Never leaving the fulcrum alone.
"DARPA announced a $2 billion investment to push the frontier of AI forward".
Well, I suppose it's (maybe) a better investment than staring at goats...
I am sure that there are many other solipsists out there.
AI! For the low, low cost of 1 B2 bomber!
Oh wait... remember we're tailoring our cloud bid to Amazon... and that's where this will most likely happen... and Bernie is going to Stop BEZOS, resulting in either higher wages or more taxes... so they'll have to raise prices. Better add a zero to the estimate.

let's play Global Thermo-Nuclear War
We know what AI means in the industry today. It means machine-learning of some sorts - putting together a parameterized classifier, training those parameters against a training data-set, and then running it against real-world input. Yes there is considerable work needed to figure out what precise things to classify, what kind of parameterized classifier to use, and to gather the training data-set. Yes it is indeed very different from coding a classification algorithm directly. Yes it will be used in impactful ways. No it's not what we colloquially refer to as "intelligence". Yes it will have blind spots that can be gamed.
Please, I'm so tired of reading posts saying "this isn't really artificial intelligence" when we're all aware of what the industry jargon means, and all aware of the utility and limitations of the current approaches.
... where the real AI is.
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
I see that retarded Alexander Peter Kowalski is still pissed he got stomped hard this week and now is in one of his antisemitic rages. Even his mom knows he is a giant fucking loser as she is now living out her retirement dream of having an ocean between her and her retarded man child of a son. She wanted out so badly she left him the half of the duplex she owned that he lived in basement of when she went back to Poland. Now APK can finally go upstairs but still needs a roommate at age 54 to cover bills so he can afford eat.
See subject: Don't worry - the "Golden Calf" of there shekels dries up! I give folks what they want vs. his machinations, lol & THUS I always will win... & they KNOW it.
* Heck - there PROVING IT via there EASILY NULLIFIED "Bitch Tactics 'efforts'" which I easily prove are them in seconds by posting there PUNY threats... lmao!
(They really ARE too STUPID to live... time to FIRE UP THE OVENS again & Zyklon B showers).
Ever see Dr, Strange? Keep it up, that's EXACTLY what I want "JudenMammu" - there MY prisoner.
LASTLY Don't speak for "Everyone" JUDE - you're the HATED minority ALL THRU HISTORY only fooling YOURSELVES, lol - self deluded morons & thieves.
APK
P.S.=> Dance little Jude, dance - to MY TUNE as I see them lose all that STOLEN GOLD/SHEKELS, lol - slowly (oh, SO slowly, painfully, as your kind fell into your OWN trap of debt, lol)... apk
IMPERSONATING ME? Please... grow up. I must admit what I read about the jews bears out to be accurate though.
APK
P.S.=> Glad I am NOT jewish... apk
By this time of day? Jew pastime is PACKING that big ole' suitcase of a rhinohorn nose CHOCK FULL of heroin or cocaine powder. No need to inject a speedball that fucker holds SO much!
Khazar Talmudic Jews believe this of all they call goyim/gentiles (any non-jew): Jews = biggest racists of all for which they "jew guilt" you for no less! They're hypocrites known as thieves all thru history or were Argentines in the 1940 under Peron, Spanish inquistion, France (1306), Egypt (despoiled/robbed by jews), Arabs (pre & post 1948), England (1330 Edward longshanks), Romans under titus, Russia pogroms and Germany who got rid of them from their nations nazi german's too? No. Driven into DESERTS ages ago! Don't wonder why after all those exilings above.
Should anyone doubt any of this see Jacob Javits' crony Rosenthal spill the beans on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4zMVZ8HnFI/ where he called all Christianity fools for helping Israel and the biggest scam of all time per their beliefs below from their Talmud.
This is the province of the synagogue of Satan (Pharisees whom Jesus Christ himself kicked to the curb out of the temple & they killed him for it. Jeremiah did the same to them also + the Essenes could not stand them either breaking away from the pharisee corruption):
Jew Talmud excerpts (the book that calls Christ's mother a whore & a bastard of a roman soldier):
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death."
4. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
5. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
6. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
7. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
8. Choschen Hamm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."
10. Szaaloth-Utszabot, The Book of Jore Dia 17: "A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them."
11. Baba Necia 114, 6: "The Jews are human beings, but the nations of the world are not human beings but beasts."
12. Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D: "When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves."
13. Nidrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L: "Jehovah created the non-Jew in human form so that the Jew would not have to be served by beasts. The non-Jew is consequently an animal in human form, and condemned to serve the Jew day and night."
14. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be violated."
15. Gad. Shas. 2:2: "A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl."
16. Tosefta. Aboda Zara B, 5: "If a goy kills a goy or a Jew, he is responsible; but if a Jew kills a goy, he is NOT responsible."
17. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 388: "It is permitted to kill a Jewish denunciator everywhere. It is permitted to kill him even before he denounces."
18. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348: "All property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which, consequently, is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples."
19. Tosefta, Abda Zara VIII, 5: "How to interpret the word 'robbery.' A goy is forbidden to steal, rob, or take women slaves, etc., from a goy or from a Jew. But a Jew is NOT forbidden to do all this to a goy."
20. Seph. Jp., 92, 1: "God has given the Jews power over the possessions and blood of all nations."
21. Schulchan Aruch, Choszen H
"Advances could help the government automate security clearances, accredit software systems and make AI systems that explain themselves."
Hahaha hahaha
Yes, those paltry use cases are what the PENTAGON is spending your 2 billion on. Keep dreaming. Because they're in the business of making themselves more efficient right? They've a great track record of not look trillions in taxpayer money. Maybe the AI can sort that out first.
In other news, maybe they'll get around to that audit this year...
Operation POTUS
Just wait until a CC + AI is implemented.
There will be some terrorist attack that threatens children ensuring this system is put in place to save civilization from itself.
Probably "Russia" again
Again?
A solution for no problem.
$2B + the pentagon -> an RFP for F35 wing tanks,
$2B + DARPA -> useful stuff.
Taxation is theft, fuck the pentagon
Currently the US is lagging in AI, China is ahead, and who knows how far Russia is. What we have happening is a cold war in AI. A space race if you will. Elon Musk has said AI research should be slowed down, and while I agree that might be better then blindly running forward, the AI bell has been rung and unless everyone slows down it's a losing proposition. The pentagon should spend the money. WAR games is a reality if only in simulations.
