HUGE FUNDING JUMP FOR AUTONOMOUS KILLER ROBOTS BREAKING NEWS: The Pentagon this week filed a call for a 24,000% cash increase (not a misprint) for a unit that creates flying killer robots for use in a war on China. Many of the machines will be able to attack autonomously, rather than being remote controlled. The step was revealed in a request filed this week, for US$55bn to fund a new unit called the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group. This is “the largest single commitment to autonomous warfare in history. Its scale should be applauded,” said former CIA director David Petraeus. . PLANNED WAR ON CHINA The DAWG is a new Pentagon department, built on top of a Joe Biden initiative to create drones for use on a planned war on China. The funding demand is so large because the US last December banned the purchase of drones and components from China, the world leader in that area. It would be problematic to ask the Chinese to continue to provide equipment for the US to use to attack China. The undersecretary for war, Elbridge Colby, has long called for a US war on China, exploiting Taiwan as justification. . WHICH NATIONS BACK KILLER ROBOTS? The Pentagon has long been using the argument that they are responding to China’s use of killer robots, although this appears to be untrue. In 2019, China and the majority of other countries of the world met at the UN to back a motion which said that the granting of power to machines to kill humans was a horrific idea which should be banned globally. But four known militaristic nations were among those which disagreed with the motion: The US, the UK, Russia and Australia. . SCIENTIST'S WARNING In January this year, one of the world’s top scientists, physicist Max Tegmark, said technologists opposing killer robots programs should be commended “for standing up for the principle that AI should never be used to kill people without meaningful human control”. However, that assumes that ethical human-centered thinking will be at the center of decisions—and that is clearly not the case. Military power, global dominance and profit are the ruling motivations. . TRUMP'S ELDEST SONS The Pentagon wants private company participation and is getting it. A top US dronemaker called Powerus is already offering autonomous US drones to Gulf nations. The Arab nations allowed the US and Israel to launch attacks on Iran from their countries and now have to deal with the Iranians defending themselves. Powerus, which has Donald Trump’s two oldest sons on its board, cannot lose. Trump senior has launched an unprovoked attack on Iran from the Gulf nations, and the younger Trumps are now involved with a firm selling autonomous drones for protection. All this, sadly, mitigates against hopes for peace.

I asked the server at this sushi place if the robot servers stole her shifts and her answer surprised me. a few years ago they brought in robot servers. The boss started with 1 robot, cut the staff from 5 to 4. From day 1 the robots were a mess. They can basically only deliver drinks. They get in the way. The 4 remaining servers felt about 20% busier, like the robot made no difference. But the kids LOVED them. Adults posted videos to social media like I'm doing right now. This grew their business in an unexpected way. Today they only have 2 robots. Zero shifts replaced (she says). But the robots still deliver drinks and the restaurant is busier than ever. Conveyor belt sushi is brilliant. Familiar to Japan for decades, newer to the US. The more plates you grab, the more prizes you win. Gamification in real life. What this restaurant did is genius. Talk about a flywheel: - Conveyor belt drives social media virality, increasing sales - Robot servers drive social media virality, increasing sales - Gamification drives average order values (The food is pretty garbage BTW, but my kids love the concept and it's a tradition for us) The server was hesitant to admit this, but after working out the robot kinks it sounded like there would be more human shifts today if not for the 2 robots. How many people order drinks JUST to see the robot? They didn't replace humans on a 1:1 ratio. But 1:3 or 1:4, yes. AI and automation will add much more in efficiency and productivity than the jobs it takes. A huge net win.
