"While American tech billionaires fret over the capabilities of Chinese AI, one national security advisor has a brilliant idea to flatten the competition: simply bomb their data centers to smithereens.
In a new report titled “Superpowers and AGI,” former Obama-era national security official Jacob Stokes calls for United States to begin preparing readiness drills in response to Chinese AI development — up to and including military strikes on the nation’s data centers, the South China Morning Post reported.
AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to the theoretical point at which an AI model achieves human, or superhuman, levels of reasoning and intelligence. Though the science is still out on whether such a system is even possible, Stokes’ report begins from the assumption that AGI is inevitable, and that if the US can’t get to it first, its military needs to prepare to take drastic action.
Referring to the US as a hypothetical “laggard state” behind China’s achievement of AGI, Stokes — now the deputy director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, a prominent DC think tank — writes that the country could “try to sabotage the leading state’s AGI systems, either through physical infiltration or offensive cyber operations; that is, cyberattack.”"

The militarization of society is progressing everywhere. From civilian to military in the direction of military prowess: factories, software companies, hospitals, railway lines. Every person who switches to armaments lacks care, health, railways and climate protection.

How depressing that all this government investment and indigenous engineering talent is being used to develop bigger and cleverer ways of killing people in wars rather than doing anything socially useful.

"The outgoing lower chamber of the #German parliament, the #Bundestag, voted on Tuesday to amend the country's constitution and clear the way for a historic debt-funded investment package which could run to €1 trillion or more in higher military spending and investments in the country’s ageing infrastructure."
Sounds terrifying?
Here it comes the horrible.
"Prior to the Tuesday vote, Germany’s Constitutional Court has rejected emergency appeals against the proposed amendments by lawmakers of the #AfD, the #FreieDemokratische as well as #DieLinke.Lawmakers cited worries about the outgoing Bundestag making a decision of this magnitude after a new parliament has already been elected, as well as concerns about the consultation period being too short for MPs to make informed decisions."
They made a democratic coup so to be able to give the next (for sure) extreme-right government of #Germany a new modern arsenal. Humanity trembles.

They ask for more spending on #militarism while EU is ready to approve 820€ billion. They don't have anything to loose by these calls, on the contrary they stand to gain millions or billions in commissions from arm industries.
Only the #workingclass loose in this #warmongers "game".

This is a good piece from #Quakers UK, arguing against spending ever more on 'defence' (for which read ‘weapons and people to use them’) at the expense of non-military responses to conflict, such as funding for conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

From VU for Palestine:
"After thee days and three nights protesting the ongoing Dutch military complicity in genocide, apartheid, occupation, and colonization in Palestine and around the world. Al-Jaouni encampment has been evicted ‼️🚨 this morning at 4:40 the military police chose to forcibly and violently evict. They all of a sudden encircled the camp, enclosing us, with barking dogs. Ordering us to leave within 5 minutes while people still were asleep. This is unacceptable. End dutch complicity! We will not stop, we will not rest. Free Palestine, stop the genocide!"

In 1971, the US govt took the ideas of Keynes and ran with it. They a gave a big middle-finger to France, by giving them a bunch of paper rather than the gold to pay back the debts the French were owed for backing #militarism in #Vietnam.Since the mid-1970s the #productivityGains started going to those closest to the newly printed money, and not to a shortening work week.
Who is benefitting from digging holes and filling them up again?
