    So let me be the resident heretic once again: 5 bucks says this is part of the drumbeat for the AI safety hysteria where so-called "experts" cosplaying as whistleblowers, EA safety cultists and friends pretend the doom is near. Convenient timing for the "leak" as well. The US military isn't exactly known for its competency or tech-savvy culture.

    Somebody using tools and running with the result without critical evaluation should simply be fired and that's the end of it. No story here.

      There's going to be all kinds of weird stuff like this surfacing everywhere until after the mid-term elections in November. Youtube is full of it right now, it's just going to get more ridiculous and crazy for the next several week.
