·9 min
The episode begins by stating that artificial intelligence is being used in the current war against Iran, as reported by the Wall Street Journal and Axios. It explains that AI speeds up decision-making in war by analyzing vast amounts of data quickly, unlike humans. A key example given is the assassination of Kamenei, which was carried out in minutes using AI, compared to what would have taken six months of human planning. The episode then shifts to discuss Anthropic, a company founded by Daniela and Dario Amodei after they left OpenAI due to ethical concerns. Anthropic developed an AI model called CLOD, now valued at $380 billion, which has been used in military contexts, including the capture of Maduro based on AI indications. It mentions that Anthropic signed contracts with the Pentagon, but the Amodei brothers refused to allow their AI to be used for spying or weapon generation under Trump, leading to contract dissolution. However, AI was still used in raids on Iran shortly after. The episode features insights from journalist Craig Jones, who is an expert on AI in warfare. Jones explains that AI allows faster decision-making in war, such as in Israel's assassinations and the US Air Force's operations. He argues that AI violates the Geneva Convention because it has about a 10% error rate in war, leading to wrongful deaths, and it obscures chain of responsibility, making it hard to assign blame for war crimes. The episode connects this to broader issues, noting that AI enables killings without accountability, as seen in incidents in Iran. It also discusses Palantir, software by Peter Thiel that spies on data like WhatsApp, developed with contributions from Israel's Unit 8200. The episode concludes by stating that OpenAI, with ChatGPT, has contracts with the Pentagon for warfare, collaborating with Palantir to carry out massacres without guilt, highlighting the monstrous nature of modern AI-driven war.
