Someone didn't read the news about the Pentagon threatening Anthropic because they want to use AI for fully autonomous weapons

Pentagon once banned Furrbies - the toys - becouse they were amazed how fast they are "learning". This is 100% true, check it out.

Just before powerful people belive marketing lies it doesn't make them less of a lie.

No you appear to be recalling something you read incorrectly. The NSA was allegedly concerned Furbys could record sensitive conversations and they were banned from Fort Meade. The idea that they recorded sound was incorrect, but the concern wasn't about Furbys learning or having artificial intelligence. Besides, bringing this up is a distraction from verifiable facts that computers can already identify targets in real time camera feeds and make decisions on whether to pursue and shoot them. You're in denial my friend.
