The company, Crypto AG, got its first break with a contract to build code-making machines for U.S. troops during World War II. Flush with cash, it became a dominant maker of encryption devices for decades, navigating waves of technology from mechanical gears to electronic circuits and, finally, silicon chips and software.

The Swiss firm made millions of dollars selling equipment to more than 120 countries well into the 21st century. Its clients included Iran, military juntas in Latin America, nuclear rivals India and Pakistan, and even the Vatican.

But what none of its customers ever knew was that Crypto AG was secretly owned by the CIA in a highly classified partnership with West German intelligence. These spy agencies rigged the company's devices so they could easily break the codes that countries used to send encrypted messages.

The decades-long arrangement, among the most closely guarded secrets of the Cold War, is laid bare in a classified, comprehensive CIA history of the operation obtained by The Washington Post and ZDF, a German public broadcaster, in a joint reporting project

👆In a sane world you’d think there would be severe repercussions and outrage across the globe. But since the media itself is owned by the CIA (Operation Mockingbird never ended) this likely won’t even be mentioned anywhere except the blogosphere. And since that article is from 2020…and you likely didn’t know this…you have your answer. And surely it’s way worse now in the police state.

Let’s not forget the NSA is doing it as well. The unconstitutional Patriot Act is still in effect. Article from last year:

And of course there’s this:

While this is likely fake:

This isn’t (from 2015):

Remember a year or so ago when it was revealed the intelligence links to Twitter and Fakebook? Updated tally from August:

Wie funktionieren die Spähprogramme Prism, Tempora und XKeyscore? Wer überwacht wen? Wer kontrolliert die Überwacher? Die wichtigsten Fakten im Überblick. ….Prism hat vier "Brüder", sie heißen Mainway, Marina, Pinwale und Nucleon. Mainway sammelt nur Telefonverbindungsdaten. Wie das abläuft, ist ebenfalls bekannt: Der Guardian hatte einen Gerichtsbeschluss veröffentlicht, nach dem der US-Mobilfunkbetreiber Verizon verpflichtet ist, der NSA die Verkehrsdaten aller seiner Kunden zu übergeben. Der Gerichtsbeschluss gilt für drei Monate und wird nach Angaben von Senatorin Dianne Feinstein seit sieben Jahren regelmäßig erneuert. Die anderen Mobilfunkbetreiber in den USA werden ebenfalls zur Kooperation gezwungen.

Marina wiederum sammelt solche Metadaten für Internetverbindungen. Es handelt sich also um Informationen darüber, wer wem wann eine E-Mail geschickt hat, oder wer wann und wie lange online war und welche Internetseiten er dabei aufgerufen hat.

Nucleon dient dazu, Inhalte von Telefongesprächen auszuwerten. Mit Pinwale werden Videos analysiert. Details zu den einzelnen Ebenen der NSA-Programme gehen aus den von der Washington Post veröffentlichten und um eigene Anmerkungen ergänzten Folien einer internen NSA-Präsentation hervor. Ein eigenständiges, äußerst mächtiges Werkzeug der NSA heißt XKeyscore. Es existiert mindestens seit 2008 und ist in erster Linie für die Analyse von Metadaten – also wer wann mit wem kommunizierte – gedacht. Aber auch auf Inhalte von E-Mails und Chats sollen die NSA-Analysten über XKeyscore zugreifen können, mitunter sogar in Echtzeit. Mithilfe von Suchanfragen können sie einzelne Menschen ausspionieren, ihre Log-ins und andere Online-Aktivitäten mitverfolgen, ihre Verbindungsdaten einsehen und sogar, welche Suchworte sie bei Google und welche Orte sie bei Google Maps eingegeben haben. Sie können aber auch breit gefasste Suchen starten, etwa nach allen Menschen in Pakistan, die ihre Mails mit PGP verschlüsseln. Auf diese Weise will der Geheimdienst Verdächtige finden, von denen er vorher nichts wusste – und ihre Kommunikationsnetzwerke aufdecken, um noch mehr Verdächtige zu entdecken. Hinter XKeyscore steckt die größten Sammlung von Kommunikationsdaten der NSA. Woher die Daten kommen, ist nur zu erahnen…

[readingsquotes]

"This piece aims to identify the pitfalls in thinking about what is being called an ‘algorithmic genocide’ in Gaza. I’d like to push against the exceptionalism afforded to AI; for example pieces which set military uses of AI as distinct from previous iterations of techno-warfare. Rather, the spectre of ‘artificial intelligence’ is a reification—a set of social relations in the false appearance of concrete form; something made by us which has been cast as something outside of us. And the way in which AI has been talked about in the context of a potentially ‘AI-enabled’ genocide in Gaza poses a dangerous distraction. All of the actually interesting and hard problems about AI, besides all the math, lie in its capacity as an intangible social technology and rhetorical device which elides human intention, creating the space of epistemic indeterminacy through which people act.

...The data does not “speak for itself”, neither in the context of academic research or in military applications.

Any ML model is, from its beginning, bound to a human conceptual apparatus.

...

The reification of AI, which happens at all points on the political spectrum, is actively dangerous in the context of its being taken to its most extreme conclusion: in the ‘usage' of ‘AI’ for mass death, as in the case of Gospel (‘Habsora’, הבשורה, named after the infallible word of God) and Lavender. This reification gives cover for politicians and military officers to make decisions about human lives, faking a hand-off of responsibility to a pile of linear algebra and in doing so handing themselves a blank check to do whatever they want. The extent to which these “AI systems” are credible or actually used is irrelevant, because the main purpose they serve is ideological, with massive psychological benefits for those pressing the buttons. Talking about military AI shifts the focus from the social relations between people to the technologies used to implement them, a mystification which misdirects focus and propagates invincibility.

There are things which are horrifying and exceptional about the current genocide, but the deployment of technology is not in itself one of those things; the usage of data-driven methods to conduct warfare is neither ‘intelligent’ nor ‘artificial’, and moreover not even remotely novel. As prior reporting from Ars Technica has shown about the NSA’s SKYNET program in Pakistan, Lavender is not even the first machine learning-driven system of mass assassination. I recently read Nick Turse’s Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam (2013) and was struck by the parallels to the current campaign of extermination in Gaza, down to the directed-from-above obsession with fulfilling ‘body count’ as well as the creation of anarchic spaces in which lower-level operatives are afforded opportunities to carry out atrocities which were not explicitly ordered, an observation which has also been made of the Shoah. Thinking about it in this way allows us to fold AI into other discourses of technological warfare over the past century, such as the US’s usage of IBM 360 mainframe computers in Vietnam to similarly produce lists of targets under Operation Igloo White. Using technology as rhetorical cover for bureaucratized violence is not new.

The Lavender piece by Yuval Abraham states that IDF soldiers rapidly rubber-stamped bombing targets “despite knowing that the system makes what are regarded as ‘errors’ in approximately 10 percent of cases”. But even if the error rate were 0.005% it wouldn’t matter, because the ‘precision’ canard is just laundering human intent through a justification-manufacturing apparatus which has zero technical component. Abraham reports that “sources who have used Lavender in recent months say human agency and precision were substituted by mass target creation and lethality,” but in reality exactly zero human agency has been removed. He writes that “once the list was expanded to include tens of thousands of lower-ranking operatives, the Israeli army figured it had to rely on automated software and artificial intelligence…AI did most of the work instead”, but this verbiage is a perverse reversal of cause and effect to create post-hoc justification.

...

Another line from the Gospel piece reads “the increasing use of AI based systems like Habsora allows the army to carry out strikes on residential homes where a single Hamas member lives on a massive scale”. Emphasis mine—that word ‘allows’ is the hinge upon which this whole grotesque charade rests. The algorithm isn’t choosing anything; the choices already happened in the compiling and labeling of the dataset. The collecting and categorizing of data—which data on individuals’ social media or GPS movements or purchasing activity is to be used, which to be excluded—is in itself the construction of an elaborate ideological apparatus."

..

The purpose of a system is what it does, and science is a thing which people do

...We can expect the laundering of agency, whitewashed through the ideological device of 'the algorithm', to begin to be deployed in the arena of international law, given the ways in which Israel is already trying to sidestep the ‘genocidal intent’ it has been charged with at the ICJ. "The fetish of AI as a commodity allows companies and governments to sell it, particularly Israel, which still enjoys a fairly glowing reputation in the ML/AI industry and research world."

How I Met Lived a Year With Osama Bin Laden in the Tora Bora Caves with My Father As Northern Alliance and Osama Bin Laden Negotiator.

As you can see in the early 1970s when my father worked for Chas T Main the infamous NSA/CIA contracting company my father was first and foremost the boss of the author of the NY Billion dollar best seller and his book is entitled "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man." Secondly during the early 1970s, Saudi Arabia was in turmoil and became an ally of the USA. As you can clearly see in my father's resume, my father was stationed in Saudi Arabia, and I went a long of course while my father managed the project of building Saudi Arabia's first 14-billion-dollar Nuclear Power plant. Then the CIA threw in a sweetheart deal for the Saudi's, they decided to pave all the roads leading to both Mecca and Medina yearly to help the Muslims on their yearly Hajj yearly over the Ramadan holiday.

The CIA designated my father, and we are both Jewish, the job of talking me over and hiring the Bin Laden Contracting Company to conduct all of the paving of those roads. I am very proud of this. Anyway, I became extremely close with all of the Bin Laden family. Osama and I always used to take karate lessons together. And me and his sister used to go to the amusement park and Blue Mosque together. Thern, I watched as Osama became increasingly radicalized and begam bombing the royal family there demanding they leave the country etc etc. He needed a country to go to which brings us just about up to the Afghan-Soviet War. As the war began my father became stationed in Aghan in Kabul Afghanistan at the USA Embassy there. I remember it quite vividly because 6 days a week the Afghans still went to their single ballpark in Kabul and used to practice for the Olympics 6 days a week. on the 7th day there was no ball practice and the ballpark because the assassination site for all women for such things as adultery etc. A bag was placed over each women's head and one bullet they were each shot once behind their right ear the professional mark of a hit man. Most of the females killed were innocent. Anyway, the CIA needed to use Bin Laden as a buffer against the Soviet Republik at that time and armed and my father trained him. The CIA also allowed him to go and leave Saudi Arabia and run things in Afghanistan. My father became the sole negotiator between Osama Bin Laden and the Northern Alliance.

I had lots of good times in those caves play9ing handguns and guns along with Bin Laden's son Omar now married to Hajo. In fact I remember when Bin Ladens' 9th and most beloved wife Haji came from Yemen/ My father brought her family in Yemen his 10 Million dollar dowry and no one else knows that is the price even Joe Biden does not so I can easily prove I was indeed living in those caves with Mousousi about one year. What weas it like. I gave me odd habits. There were no showers and we all slept on the dirt ground on a tiny mattress. Once every 5 months we poured some water for a shower over our heads. We ate cold food out of old world war cans and Bin Laden HAD a generator for electricity. Bin Laden always carried two things 1) A 25.000.000 check the exact amount of his bounty cashed in any deniomination and 2) A CELL phone which he rarely used and when he did he was caught and assassinated. Jilly

More to come interviews welcomed

PS: The Pakistani's are a bunch of liars taking USA dollars saying the can not go into the Northern part of Afghanistan because "it is too dangerous there." I can not be too dangerous because I was there at age 7 with Daddy and Osama Bin Laden. What do they do in Northern Pakistan. That was where Bin Laden had his "strong-hold complex," as he called it and he lived there with all his wives and "widows." They used to walk me around his complex and hold my hand. He used to watch TV all day and look at him in all these press and magazines. If the USA just ignored him and left Bin Ladan out of the press he probably would have committed self-suicide. Anway, Dad used to go there for many reasons with me. Sometimes we went to pick up tapers Bin laden made to give to the BBC and western press and both sad and ironic it is his death place and would have wanted to die there in my estimation. IN northern Pakistan Bin Laden used to have theses huge pizza types ovens where he would have a his specialized weapons hammered out like blacksmiths do in the large pizza like oven. Even the Avril Haines CIA chief does not know this. JILLY

G20 Summit 2023 of Joint Declaration: New Delhi Declaration

India is presiding over the G20 summit this year. This conference has been organized on 9 and 10 September at Bharat Mandapam of Pragati Maidan. G20's first joint declaration - A joint declaration has been agreed upon on the very first day of the ongoing G20 Summit in New Delhi. At the beginning of the second session on Saturday, PM Modi, in his capacity as President, passed the New Delhi Declaration with the consent of all the member countries. The G20's joint declaration is a total of 37 pages. There are total 83 paragraphs in it. This has been called the New Delhi Declaration. The main proposals included in this are as follows - All countries will work on Sustainable Development Goals. One Future Alliance will be formed on India's initiative. - All countries should work according to the rules of the UN Charter. - Bio fuel alliance will be formed. Its founding members will be India, America and Brazil. - Emphasis will be laid on one earth, one family, one future. - Multilateral development banks will be strengthened. They will be made better, bigger and more effective. - Emphasis will be placed on the priorities of the Global South. - There will be talks to make a global policy regarding cryptocurrency. - India has emphasized on making a common framework to create a better system regarding loans. - The fastest growing cities in the world will be funded. - Work will be done on green and low carbon energy technology. - All countries have criticized all forms of terrorism. Terrorism was mentioned 9 times. Europe and Middle East will build economic corridor with India - The G20 summit held in the Indian capital will be remembered for a historic deal. This deal has been made between India, Europe and Middle East i.e. Gulf countries. - This has been called the India, Europe, Middle East Economic Corridor Deal. It is being considered as the answer to two Chinese projects. - These are the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor or CPEC. In a sense, CPEC is considered a part of BRI. - 8 countries are part of this economic corridor. This deal has innumerable benefits and the target is to complete it in 10 years. These countries are included in the deal - India, United Arab of Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, European Union (EU), Italy, Germany, France and America. White House spokesperson had recently hinted towards this deal and said – It is possible that soon some more countries will become a part of a special economic deal. Some of these names may surprise you. Key points of this deal - The poor and middle-income countries falling in the three regions will benefit the most. America's Deputy National Security Advisor John Finneran told the media that we will not have to wait 10 years for its results. Very soon you will see huge changes. - This summit is proving to be very special for President Biden. He was considered soft on China, but he gave a forceful reply and gave the world the option of BRI. In this, every powerful country including India is with America. - Now the Middle East region will be directly connected with India and Europe not only through rail but also through port. Everyone will benefit from this. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) wants to make the oil economy business based. They know this will fulfill their Vision 2030. - America's deputy NSA Finner himself said - it will soon be known how big a success this is. People will be able to understand more about this deal when its work starts. This will also reduce tension in every area. - In recent times, China has been trying to weaken America and India by increasing its influence in UAE and Saudi Arabia. Now the Saudi Crown Prince has once again hinted towards joining America's side. This is also important because after the Corona period, China's economy is weakening day by day. Its growth rate has been low every time in the last four quarters. - From the economic point of view, every country included in this deal is developing rapidly. Now since the European Union is also a part of it, you will also have to keep in mind that at least 27 countries will be in this deal only from this union. Global Biofuel Alliance was launched at the end of the first day - PM Modi launches Global Biofuel Alliance. During this, US President Biden, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and heads of state of Brazil, Argentina and Italy were also present. After this, PM Modi said in his address that increasing connectivity is a priority for India. What is biofuel - Biofuel means fuel made from plants, grains, algae, husk and food waste. Biofuels are extracted from many types of myomas. - It contains less amount of carbon. If its use increases, the world's dependence on traditional fuel petrol and diesel will reduce and environmental pollution will also reduce. - For the first time in the year 1890, Rudolf Diesel used vegetable oil to run an internal combustion engine for farming. How is biofuel made - Different types of refineries are used to make biofuel. It is categorized on the basis of crop stock. - First generation biofuel depends on reserves of food crops. Sugarcane crop and grain starch are processed in the first generation unit. Whereas second generation biofuel is known as advanced biofuel. In this, the process takes place in non-edible plants, woody biomass or husk. - Third generation biomass is made from algae and microbes. Fourth generation biofuels rely on biomass materials that absorb carbon dioxide. Where is most biofuel produced - The largest ethanol producing countries in the world in the year 2022 are America and Brazil. America produced 57.5 billion liters of ethanol and Brazil produced 35.6 billion liters of ethanol. Whereas Europe remained at the forefront in the matter of making biodiesel. 17.7 billion liters of biodiesel was produced there. After that America is at second place and Indonesia is at third place. What is the theme of G20 Summit 2023? - This time the theme of G20 Summit 2023 is Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It means one earth, one family, one future. What is the logo of G20 Summit 2023 - This time India has made the earth its logo along with the lotus flower. This logo is of 3 colors, which is taken from the Indian flag. And these colors are- saffron, white, green and blue. What is the motto of G20 Summit 2023? - India's presidency of the G20 will prove helpful in strengthening trade ties with member countries and provide an opportunity to attract investments from those countries in sectors such as infrastructure. Importance of G20 Summit 2023 - G-20 is called Group of Twenty, this group has 19 member countries and the 20th member of the group is the European Union. The G-20 Summit is organized once a year, however, starting from 2008, the G-20 Summit was organized twice each in the years 2009 and 2010. - In this conference, the heads of state of the member countries of the group are invited and some other countries are also invited. After this, the heads of state of all the countries sit and discuss many issues. - This year, under the chairmanship of India, the G-20 conference is going to be held at Pragati Maidan in Delhi. How many countries has participate in this G20 Summit? - This time 20 countries are participating in the G20 Summit 2023. Apart from India, the G-20 group includes France, China, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Argentina, America, UK, Turkey, South Korea, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Italy, Indonesia and as the 20th member. The European Union is involved. - Presiding over the G-20 representing more than 80 percent of the global economy is a big opportunity for India. Read the full article

The Punjab police arrested Amritpal Singh in Moga’s Rode village early Sunday, ending an over a month-long manhunt against the radical preacher who styled himself after slain Khalistani militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.

The preacher was taken into custody at 6.45 am as he came out — in the traditional attire that included a sheathed sword — of the gurdwara in Rode, Bhindranwale’s native village and also the place where he himself took over last year as the chief of Waris Punjab De.

The 29-year-old was detained under the stringent National Security Act and flown to Assam on a special flight to be lodged at the Dibrugarh Central Jail, where nine other associates picked up over the past several weeks are kept.

Shortly after his arrest, a video surfaced online in which the extremist preacher is seen delivering a brief address, indicating that he is surrendering.

Another clip showed him sitting before a portrait of Bhindranwale, who died in a controversial Army operation in 1984 to flush out militants holed up inside Amritsar’s Golden Temple.

Inspector General of Police Sukhchain Singh Gill countered the preacher’s claim that it was a “surrender”, and said the fugitive was cornered.

“A joint operation was conducted by Amritsar police and the intelligence wing of Punjab Police. He was located in village Rode based on operational inputs with Punjab Police. He was surrounded from all sides. The village was surrounded by the Punjab Police,” he said.

He said police did not enter the gurdwara. “It was very important to maintain the sanctity of the gurdwara and police in uniform could not enter inside.” A message was conveyed to the preacher that he had no chance of making his escape, Gill said.

“National Security Act warrants were issued against Amritpal Singh and these have been executed today morning. Further, law will take its own course,” he said.

In a video message hours after the arrest, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said those who disturb peace and harmony in the state will face the law, and innocent people will not be disturbed.

Mann said he continuously monitored developments during the night, leading to the arrest.

Former Akal Takht jathedar Jasbir Singh Rode said he met Amritpal Singh at the gurdwara as the preacher prepared to surrender.

In the gurdwara clip, the fugitive recalled that Rode is Bhindranwale’s birth place, and the village where his own “dastar bandi” (turban-tying ceremony) took place – a reference to his taking over Waris Punjab De chief.

He claimed there were excesses by the government against Sikhs while he was on the run, appearing to suggest that the security agencies wanted to harass people rather than just arrest him. He said he would have cooperated with them had arrest been their objective.

“I have decided to surrender and this arrest is not an end, it is the beginning,” he said.

In the “court of the Almighty”, he said he is not guilty.

Police had launched a crackdown against Amritpal Singh on March 18, about three weeks after he and his supporters, many of them brandishing weapons, stormed into the Ajnala police station near Amritsar to secure the release of an arrested colleague.

There were concerns that the preacher had links with Pakistan spy agency ISI and was working towards radicalising the Sikh youth, in an effort to revive the call for a separate nation of ‘Khalistan’.

Amritpal Singh returned from Dubai last year and took over Waris Punjab De after the death of activist-singer Deep Sandhu.

Among the declared aims of the outfit was fighting drug addiction among young people, but intelligence agencies feared that this was just a front.

Several cases have been lodged against him and his associates for allegedly spreading disharmony, attempt to murder, attack on police personnel and obstructing the lawful discharge of duty by public servants.

While the preacher remained on the run for 36 days, authorities continued to pile pressure on him by arresting his key associates.

His wife Kirandeep Kaur, a UK-based woman he married in February, was stopped from boarding a flight to London from Amritsar airport recently.

Scores of sympathises were detained by police, but most of them were released as the Akal Takht and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee claimed young people were being harassed.

Nine of the preacher’s alleged associates are in the Dibrugarh jail. They are Daljit Singh Kalsi, Papalpreet Singh, Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal, Varinder Singh Johal, Gurmeet Singh Bukkanwala, Harjit Singh, Bhagwant Singh, Basant Singh and Gurinderpal Singh Aujla.

The plane carrying Amritpal Singh landed in Dibrugarh on Sunday afternoon.

Rise of machines

Rise Of The Machines

It’s been over 35 years since The Terminator was released, and rather than a global moratorium on weaponized robots, we’re instead seeing an explosion of research into autonomous tanks, aircraft, humanoid robots, and AI software systems to pull the trigger.

There’s a grim irony in the fact that a cautionary tale about autonomous killing machines has turned into an arms race to see who can develop them first —and it’s even more ironic that the organizations developing these technologies reference the movie when describing their projects: F.E.D.O.R. — with a gun, but “not a Terminator”.

FEDOR

In arecent tweet, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin described the “Robot platform F.E.D.O.R. showing shooting skills with two hands,” and quickly added, “we are not creating a Terminator, but artificial intelligence that will be of great practical significance in various fields.”

Ostensibly,F.E.D.O.R.has been developed for rescue missions, and the prototype was even sent to the International Space Station to conduct repairs, but as The Independent has written, “military uses have also been suggested by engineers.”

Atlas

Despite internet confusion from a viral hoax video by “BossTown Dynamics”, the realAtlasrobot developed by Boston Dynamics has never fired a gun — but it can run, do backflips, andparkour. Developed under grants byDARPA, this robot is also designed for disaster response, but that didn’t stop ExtremeTech for describing it as a “Real World Terminator”, saying:

At 6’2″ and 330lbs, Atlas is incredibly imposing…while Atlas is initially conceived as a disaster response robot, such as cleaning up and looking for survivors after a Fukushima-like disaster, it’s easy to imagine Atlas being the basis of a robotic army.

TheMIS

Futurism.com described this robotic tank as being “straight out of the Terminator”, and cited aC4ISRNET article indicating that it was equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun & 40mm automatic grenade launcher in a recent demonstration.

Likened to theT-1 robot tankin Terminator 3, theMilrem TheMISis one of many robotic tanks currently under development, including theRipsaw M5 Robo-Tank,Miloš UGV,Gladiator TUGV,Foster-Miller TALON, and many more — all heavily armed, and currently all requiring a human operator to pilot them remotely.

The Predator Drone

The General AtomicsMQ-1 Predatordrone was designed in the ‘90s for reconnaissance, but within a decade the Air Force hadarmed itfor drone strikes, and created theMQ-9 Reaperas a successor — which the USAF Chief of Staff called “a true hunter-killer.”

The Guardian reports thatBritain is funding research into drones that decide who they kill, and of the36 countriescurrently using armed drones, analystPaul Scharresays it’s “very likely that nations will invest in autonomous technology, if nothing else out of fear that their adversaries are doing so.”

Googlebacked out of drone research because of the ethical implications, but it hasn’t stoppedmilitary organizationsfrom pursuing autonomous killing machines, which have the advantage of “freeing current pilots from the moral responsibility of casualties”.

SkyNet

The Terminator franchise wouldn’t be complete without the series arch-villain. As it turns out,SkyNet is already here, and according toArs Technica, it’s already killed “thousands of people”:

“SkyNet engages in mass surveillance of Pakistan’s mobile phone network, and then uses a machine learning algorithm on the cellular network metadata of 55 million people to try and rate each person’s likelihood of being a terrorist.”

Today’s SkyNet is an NSA surveillance program that isn’t self-aware, and it doesn’t directly control weapons systems — unlike the ambitious Strategic Computing project, back whenDARPA Tried to Build Skynet in the 1980s:

“The system was supposed to create a world where autonomous vehicles not only provide intelligence on any enemy worldwide, but could strike with deadly precision from land, sea, and air. It was to be a global network that connected every aspect of the U.S. military’s technological capabilities — capabilities that depended on new, impossibly fast computers.”

Thoseimpossibly fast computersexist today, and DARPA hasn’t given up on the idea, they’ve simply rebranded it “Assured Autonomy”. The goal remains the same: creating systems able to “accomplish goals independently, or with minimal supervision from human operators in environments that are complex and unpredictable.”

Conclusion

As I said in the beginning, all the pieces for Judgement Day are in place. The nukes, the robots, the AI systems —it’s like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, and the only thing missing is a few more years of R&D and the malevolent spark of machine intelligence willing to end the world.

Stephen Hawkingsaid, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” andElon Muskconcurred — calling it humanity’s “biggest existential threat”. Both of them may be mistaken, but it begs the larger question:

If AI is dangerously unpredictable, why are we arming it?

Earlier I mentioned “freeing current pilots from the moral responsibility of casualties”, but the truth is they shouldn’t be freed from it. The decision to take a human life has gravity to it — and knowing that you’ll have to live with that choice is part of the decision-making process. It’s called having a conscience, and it’s something machines lack.

Conscience — not calculation — is what kept us from launching the nukes during the 20th century. The ICBMs are ready, but despite 70 years of saber-rattling, the decision to use them is simply too big, ugly & final for us to push the button. So we’re teaching the machines how to do it instead.

To be fair, The Terminator and its sequels were as much a commentary on the time they were produced as they were a warning to the future —but at the root of all these films remains a constant reminder:beware the consequences of giving machines the power to decide life & death.
