"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.”"

Good to see at least one UK news outlet willing to challenge #militarism and the insanity of spending £31bn on nukes at a time when our public services and infrastructure are on their arse.

Trump Allies Use Faith to Justify War as Divine Mission Through Hegseth and Graham
Trump allies use religious rhetoric to justify war, framing violence as God’s will. This analysis exposes the danger of blending faith, power, and militarism.

"Bill Galvin has spent much of the past month answering the phone.
"It's been very, very busy," he says. Galvin is the counseling director at the Center on Conscience and War, which helps run the 24-hour GI Rights Hotline, set up to inform service members of their options for military discharge.
Most callers are asking how to apply to become a conscientious objector — a difficult, invasive and rarely used process. But they're also airing their concerns and frustrations, often anonymously, as the hotline allows them a space to do so without repercussions.
Military members are citing myriad reasons for wanting to leave, but the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran has been a powerful motivator. In March alone, Galvin's center took on more than 80 new clients — almost twice as many as it takes on in an average year. The busiest single day saw 12 new clients join, with one person saying four other members of their platoon were also interested.
Those numbers are a drop in the bucket when compared with the more than 1.3 million people enlisted. But for outside observers and former military officials, those calls and conversations are an indication of a troubling disquiet within the ranks."

Iran Can’t Hit U.S. Directly—So It’s Hitting Everyone Around It
Iran strikes Gulf nations, oil hubs, and U.S. bases across the region. The result: rising oil prices, global instability, and a war spreading through allies.

How #Militarism Teaches Our Children That #Violence Is Normal
Erin Steuter, Ph.D.; and Geoff Martin, Ph.D.
January 10, 2019"The rise of violence and the gun culture in the United States and Canada cannot be separated from the rise in militarism, which is the belief that a country must maintain a strong military capability and must use, or threaten to use, force to protect and advance national interests. Militarism may appear to be a response to the external world, but it has significant internal social consequences. Retired Army Lt. Col. and military historian Andrew Bacevich (2005) pointed out that U.S. residents are enthralled with military power, and he warned that this can 'endanger our security at home' (p. 225). He defined a 'culture of militarism' as a situation in which the political leadership’s first response is to any challenge is to consider military force. The government counts on significant public support and uses popular-culture symbols to cultivate it. After 9/11, it became normal for patriotic fervor to once again be communicated through toys and entertainment."

@LALegault @yogthos @strandjunge
In #Berlin (part of my family lives there), hundreds came to protest against the #genocide in #Gaza/ #Palestine but (according to the media) 36.000 came to visit the #Bundeswehr(macht) at #BER airport and check out its latest killing machines, last weekend.
As for #Fediverse/ #Mastodon #censorship: it happens to me all the time, too. They even called on blocking the whole instance and defamed it as "antisemitic" and "colonialist". I seriously have no freakin' idea what those lunatics put into their cereals.

If #Australia wants to curb #rightWingExtremism, then stop funding the rightwing #propaganda units (next stop #Venezuela) and end #militarism and the infinity #oilWars (again, God save Venezuela). Maybe we as individuals can stop giving money to bloody #RupertMurdoch to #shitpost all over our #petrolStations everyday.
