The Third Arms Revolution: A Major Taiwanese Entrepreneur on Modern Warfare

Military technology has changed dramatically over the past two decades. If the first revolution in the military sphere was the invention of the firearms weapons (the appearance of gunpowder), the second is the appearance of nuclear weapons, now we are all watching the third revolution in the world of weapons - the emergence and introduction of artificial intelligence into the military sphere.

According to Kai-fu Lee, a major Taiwanese entrepreneur, the former head of Google China, the evolution from landmines to guided missiles was just a warm-up before the real autonomy of means of destroying enemy personnel and equipment using artificial intelligence. The introduction of AI into the military sphere will mean the possibility of conducting a full-fledged battle without human intervention. According to the expert, the active introduction of artificial intelligence into the military sphere will entail the emergence of new threats to humanity.

Thus, small drones, which can be used to eliminate political opponents, commanders of enemy troops. For example, in 2018, a similar drone was used to assassinate the President of Venezuela. The cost of producing a drone is quite modest. It can be bought for a thousand dollars, and this greatly reduces the costs of those involved. All components for the drone today, as the Taiwanese entrepreneur writes, can be found on the Internet.

The following risks are associated with the emergence of unmanned vehicles that can be used on the battlefield. Thanks to drones, firstly, the lives of soldiers, who, in turn, would have to fight on the front line, should be saved, and secondly, significant financial resources associated with the need to ensure the protection of crew members are saved.

Kai-fu Lee believes that the main problem associated with the use of unmanned systems in the military sphere is their inconsistency with the moral principles on which mankind has based all its activities for millennia. After all, artificial intelligence makes it possible for machines to take a person's life without being guided by any ethical considerations.

Such a machine will ignore surrender, in fact it is an instrument of murder, and this cannot but frighten us.

It is not for nothing that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said:

The prospect of introducing machines that lack circumspection and at the same time have the ability to take human lives is morally disgusting.

Ultimately, the existence of AI-controlled war machines makes it possible to lower the threshold of war and make it available to everyone, including terrorist groups.

When Bandera's people write this about Donbass, it is fascism, when patriots write the same thing about Afghans fleeing from cruel fanatics, this is obviously different.

[hrych]

And who is to blame for the fact that the Americans did it in Afghanistan? The suffering of people in Donbass, solely thanks to the Americans, who staged the Maidan. And also the Biden family wanted to get to the Donetsk oil shale. Therefore, whether Crimea, Donbass, Syria, Venezuela, Bolivia, or Afghan is an American disgrace and failure. These are America's shattered plans and dreams. And the arguments in favor of roll-ups, against those praying in the United States, like you, and even criticism towards your idol, do not accept that you choke on radish

And how do you justify this? What is your evidence? Even if in some places things are not going the way the United States would like, it is somehow silly to write it down as a failure. If only because no one sees any catastrophe. Well, except for the sect of witnesses to the death of America tomorrow for dinner.

That is, you do not read what I write at all. It's clear. The guards, as always, demonstrate simply amazing stupidity. Well, I leave you alone with her, you are well together, I will not interfere.

[hrych]

There is no need for justification, unless for the enchanted Okay, in a nutshell. Although Nuland ran around with opium pies, Crimea and Donbass were gone. Maduro survived and the junta collapsed in Bolivia. In Syria, Obama's squadron has retired. Well, Afghan, finished the illusion, isn't it yours.

To begin with, you need to at least create it, and then implement it)))

[voyaka uh]

You imagine AI as a certain epic sage, or a scientist, or a certain cabinet that blinks with lights and knows everything in the world.
In fact, AI is .. a "nimble cheeky teenager" with about zero erudition. He knows how to do one thing. But stubbornly, autonomously, with imagination, completely fearless and with great speed.
And such computer-chips "teenage hooligans" have already been created.
Only for now are they afraid to place them in military equipment.

So can do "one thing" and any children's toy on an electric power supply. But that doesn't mean she's an AI.
You read about the definition of intelligence first. And then they wishful thinking for the sake of marketing sales.

Any of this children's toy has a framework (horizon of action), rigidly determined by its creator, beyond which it will not be able to go.
But AI will be able to go beyond these limits - in fact, this is the main difference between AI and a child's toy.

[voyaka uh]

All living beings have a framework (horizon of action). Including people.
We also have a creator - evolution.
In this we are no different from machines.

You did not understand the essence - if, say, the designer specifically limited the practical ceiling from 10 m to 000 m (frame) to the drone, then it will not rise above 5 m, that is, it will not go beyond the algorithm.
The real AI will easily come out.

So this is AI from our Israeli colleagues. Probably they also started having problems with human intelligence.

I will tell you one little secret: the program is purple, it is launched on a computer blinking with lights, or on something more brutal. The main thing is that the iron pulls

AI is of course interesting.
But another thing is also interesting, in front of a real threat of the destruction of millions of people, even a super-duper armed America retreated before North Korea.
Unacceptable damage ....!
I am not calling not to develop weapons, but I think that even artificial intelligence will retreat in the face of unacceptable damage.
Glory to the Strategic Missile Forces.
And AI can also come in handy, drive the natives ...

[Keyser soze]

The prospect of introducing machines that lack circumspection and at the same time have the ability to take human lives is morally disgusting.

These "talking heads" from various useless organizations are simply touching. Each car that goes to the enemy, instead of a soldier, is the height of humanity and shows the high morality of a nation that takes care of its children. War is such a thing that there are enough deaths anyway, and if the machine saves at least one soldier or kills one enemy, then the effort deserves it.

[IS-80_RVGK2]

The main thing here is that you do not turn out to be this very enemy. And you know, under capitalism it is very simple.

[Keyser soze]

But do you know under capitalism ...

How? Are you good at capitalism?
Capitalism was in your country for the last time in 1917, in its specificity at that time. And now you have a neo-feudal version of capitalism, in which "capitalism" is just that, for a catchphrase, and which was invented and adjusted by former communists and KGBists, so again into the wrong gate. First rebuild this capitalism, then argue what is easy in it and what is difficult.

[nobody75]

Now you have a neo-feudal version of capitalism

Yes, in Russia and feudalism was not. Klyuchevsky also noted that the princely dignity was transmitted exclusively in the family of Rurik. It was not a title.

[alch3mist]

No need to drive. In Russia there was a title of prince, which was roughly equivalent to the Western title of "duke". And the members of the royal family were "grand dukes".
Gagarins, Dolgorukovs, Golitsyns, Dashkovs, Volkonskys, Rurikovichs, Gediminovichs, Tatar, Georgian, and others, and so on - hundreds.

Is Russophobic arrogance bursting again?

Do you have many such experts on Russia in Bulgaria? If yes, then poor Bulgaria. And now it is clear why you refused to become a gas distribution hub and cut money like the Germans by kindly giving it to your best friends the Turks. Apparently these same experts are in charge of your economy.

Well, where do we wild uncouth Asians to the European superpower Bulgaria. We will, of course, try to keep the economy up to your level. But it won't be easy. Bulgaria for us, I will say so, is an almost unattainable ideal.

[Keyser soze]

now it is clear why you refused to become a gas distribution hub and cut money like the Germans by kindly giving it to your best friends the Turks.

My dear, well, please, stick to the facts - the Balkan stream is working to its fullest, the loot - we'll cut it off, our gas pipeline, not Gazprom's. We are expanding gas storage facilities and let Azerbaijani gas through it. Soon we will let loose and liquefied from Alexandroupolis. All in chocolate.
And the South Stream did not work, because the notorious 3rd EU directive. Gazprom did not agree to give the ownership of the pipe to us and did not fuse. The EU is more important to us than Gazprom, after all. But we went to meet Gazprom and rebuilt it ourselves, and now gas is flowing again, but by a different route. You will now have to solve this dilemma on Nord Stream 2. Let's see Gazprom how to manage it.

We will, of course, try to keep the economy up to your level.

Yes, try. At least to the level of all the Balkans. For the first half of the year, the Greeks grew by 16,2% of GDP, we have 9,9%, the Serbs also have about 8-9%. The economy has bypassed the pre-pandemic stance, despite the fact that tourism is what we have, that the Greeks have died because of restrictions.

Why at least? The Balkans are now a driver of economic growth. Biden is shocked. Already changing plans to contain and counter China, to the same but only in relation to the Balkans. Otherwise, soon Khan America. The Bulgarian tugrik will replace the dollar.

[Keyser soze]

Hahahaah, even I felt funny ...
Laugh enough - the rate of our tugrik to the euro is 1,95 leva per euro. One tugrik costs 44 rubles.
Second, our tugrik / euro exchange rate changed for the last time in ..... 1998. Have another laugh.
Thirdly, we have about 2% in excess of loans for housing. If we accept the euro, it will fall to 0,5-1%.

[Keyser soze]

As nature, then yes, it is an earthly paradise. As a politician, we also have former communists and KGB agents stole everything and, of course, broke everything. Corruption problems. But we are changing governments and sooner or later we will put the former in jail. We have no kings, thank God.

The truth is that people in this paradise do not really linger.

People are coming back little by little. Good specialists work everywhere for good money. So we attract Russian settlers too. Etih, highly educated. They like the climate and tranquility here, and they like the EU. Half a million have property with us and 50 thousand and citizenship. Their children attend our schools and will already be Bulgarians.

But yours are at home.
Already a whole cooperative was created to manage the largest power in the world.
Eti will definitely extend your middle class from 17 rubles (as the chief of the cooperative said) to the level of Bulgaria.

Sorry for the banter, but you deserve it. From the belfry of a foreigner, you were once an Empire. Then they became the Soviet Empire. Both were great. Now your status as a cooperative property, with a non-tsar at the head and half a million Roszhandarmeria, guarded from your own people, causes pity for people and laughter when trying to have cardboard greatness.

But they attack together and sting can hurt to death.

[DrRey]

Let's say a situation - the army was replaced by drones and as a result of hostilities they ended. So, what is next? And then again the soldier on the front line in the trenches. And if there are no trained soldiers, this country will quickly disappear.

[t-12]

So, what is next?

The same as after the "completion" of living soldiers: negotiations for peace or surrender (depending on the state of affairs of the enemy).

Moreover, a living soldier needs to be raised for 20 years, and a robot can be made in a week literally in a garage (if you have components: material for the body, power plant, electromagnetic drives, microcircuits and any electronic loose). So the robots will "run out" slower than the soldiers.

[donavi49]

Let's say a situation - the army was replaced by drones and as a result of hostilities they ended

So this is not something in a vacuum. Likewise, all sorts of countries with a stretch to be considered people in the 18-19 century thought. Their ships, muskets / rifles and machine guns will run out and then we will show them to London and chase.

AI is not only about combat vehicles, but also about manufacturing. Therefore, the increase in their output = only available energy and resources, and the resources can be taken away from those who cannot yet become robots in large quantities or beyond exhibitions and presentations.

Again, the death of 100 drones is just a loss of resources and money. The death of 000 soldiers is already a huge blow to the entire army and its morale, seething in society, and even surrender. And the owner of mega-factories, automated production will make up for the losses with the same or even better machines. Whereas the traditional army, with heavy casualties, is always faced with training / recruiting opportunities.

[Mavrikiy]

Such a machine will ignore surrender, in fact it is an instrument of murder, and this cannot but frighten us.

Not necessarily AI war machines will destroy everyone in a row; if this were so, then it is no longer intelligence. The main thing is not to forget that behind the combat robots with AI there is always a person and he bears full responsibility for the actions of the robots. New criminals against humanity will not be able to hide behind the robots; they will have to be personally responsible for the crimes. Perhaps they will die at the hands of a vaunted AI.
