As A Large Language Howitzer,

For this week’s free episode, Riley, Milo, Hussein, and Nate discuss the recent news that ChatGPT has both dropped its official guidelines around working with weapons systems and also entered into a partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. This is notionally to help reduce veteran suicide, but as Riley indicates, there are plenty of combat uses that are probably going to get integrated, even (or especially) if they’re bad. We also do a quick UK politics check (did you know populism is over in the UK?) and discuss a Spectator article yearning for a Tory government willing to change everything back to imperial units.
