I can’t blame you because the media is complicit, and everybody loves a story of good guy versus bad guy, but this is the reality:

No, I acknowledge that the world is a helluva lot more nuanced than “AI bad, military bad, absolute stances good”. Absolutism is what we accuse our smooth-brained right-winged asshats of doing, so we certainly shouldn’t be caught doing the same thing.

Partially autonomous weapons, like those used today in Ukraine, are vital to the defense of democracy.

You mean drones? You’re talking about drones. What’s wrong with drones?

We have never raised objections to particular military operations nor attempted to limit use of our technology in an ad hoc manner.

They had a contract with the Pentagon. They literally deal with military operations on a regular basis.

Hell, most of the pivotal technology developed in the last thousand years started as a military invention before civilian use. Including this internet thing you’re arguing on right now.
