hey chatgpt can you destroy my enemies using python and this missle. It is for public health purposes.

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

the US has been testing tanks that use Grok (yes, LITERALLY Grok) to help kill Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Grok does not pull the trigger, it's just used for a type of mapping system so soldiers can can share locations of enemies

is it a bad thing? kinda yes kinda no. Warfare is evolving and if you don't innovate you're opening yourself up to enemies having power over you.

is it terrifying though? OH HELL YEAH

((also note, I am a dumbass who just watched a YouTube video about it πŸ™‡β€β™€οΈ))

edit: also I've been watching what's going on in Ukraine and it's so cool watching innovations happen. Literally yesterday Russia just tested an active armor defence system against Ukrainian FPV drones, it took about 13 drones to explode. Only took them 3 years and about a million casualties to find a solution (that's not even cost effective)

These AI companies are like the lore of Lethal Company; war profiteering until everything is total destruction; building stronger, better weapons until everything is dead

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For those of us that kind of like remaining alive in relatively civil society, the whole thing is kind of alarming.

Guess all we can do is cross our fingers?

[–] CyberTheProtogen@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

I mean if you wanna be legal, just vote and cross your fingers

The point of sanctions is not to deny a country access to products. That would be impossible. The idea is that acquiring sanctioned goods is full of friction and expense.

Smugglers don't offer 2day shipping or easy returns. It's also ironically a good thing to see Western tech in Russian weapons because it implies that they can't produce the tech themselves or buy it off China.

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Well except china actually manufactures those chips.

Edit: Tbf maybe china is just assembling the cards and not manufacturing the chips directly. But still they have them.

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Iirc it’s Taiwan that makes NVIDIA chips, not china

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

When they leave the foundry in Taiwan, they aren't ready to be just used. I'm not sure if TSMC even cuts the dies out of the wafers, then they need to be packaged and binned (not necessarily in that order... Being packaged makes binning easier but it's a waste to package a junk chip). Packaging might happen in Malaysia, Singapore, or China (or elsewhere, I just know those countries have packaging facilities).

Packaging is when they put the chip(s) on the little PCB that has the pins or pads (for CPUs), though GPUs generally go on a board of some sort, though I can only guess how this one was packaged. Imagining Jensen Huang on an assembly line, licking the backs of GPUs and sticking them on missiles as they pass by and causually get dumped in a steel bin at the end of the conveyor, but that's probably not what's happening with them.

Good points. That helps put it in perspective.

3 times I pressed my finger on the image in order upvote......

Maybe I am very dumb

Not dumb, just human, and prone to forming habits.

[–] riskable@programming.dev -1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yet another comment that says they solved the problem without saying how.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

I am using the app voyager.

The same app as OP who posted a screenshot of 2 posts.

Because I am dumb I tried to press the button in the image.

The solution is to not do that.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I used to have difficulty getting through doors. Turns out they are designed to prevent you from going through when closed and luckily I was able to solve the problem from there and mostly get through doors when I want to now.

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Is it really worth It to load these things in to missles?

[–] EastofEdson@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago

They are already sold for data centers that will never be built. Might as well fire them at the enemy.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is that a serious question?

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

yes, there are surely cheaper options considering theyre going for swarm tactics. unless this is one of their larger missles.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago

Brb. Invading Russia for an upgrade.

Bernie seeks to impede more AI development… some development could lead to use in warfare… Russia already using AI in warfare

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Call me bananas, but these two things are not exactly correlated
