US military AI drone simulation kills operator before being told it is bad, then takes out control tower

Aren’t most pilot/operators in a completely different country?

I don’t think I fully believe the story as presented in that article, but even if it’s all true, that’s an indictment on

…..or if it is hooked up to a neural network where it learns. That is when it can get really scary.

They still control the reward/reinforcement mechanism. Neural networks aren’t sentient beings, despite the name

The way you utilize neural networks doesn't work like that.

I looked into it further. It was just a simulation 100%. This wasn't some drone with an actual kill switch. This

Yeah I just read that too. Fox makes it sound like it actually killed a living person in real life

I never thought for a second it was not a simulation.

Wow. Glad to know that means everything will be just fine.

It means that this scenario would never happen in real life because you don't write kill switches into the training

‘News’ messes up all kinds of things, e.g. economic, nutrition, etc. That’s
