It's pretty funny how these guys are all becoming some kind of internet version of, like, Halliburton. It seems pretty desperate. B2C and B2B applications didn't pan out I guess?

It's one of two identified uses for AI that is profitable today: writing code and blowing up schools. They are desperate to show the market that the technology is anything more than a money pit.

The thing is we're in a new Cold War, and most of our adversaries have gotten the memo and most of us ... haven't. Yes, becoming a new Halliburton is a rational move if you see the board right now. I don't like it even one tiny bit.

		I don't like it even tiny bit. But other people are doing it, so I mma go full steam ahead. This is exactly what got us here.

		If that's the case we ought to be investing in technology that actually delivers results. Patriot missiles work. Javelins work. M777's work. AI? Dunno man.. Instead it seems like what's happening here is Google has found a gullible customer that is willing to pay for something that doesn't necessarily deliver.
