America’s second-highest ranking military officer, Gen. Paul Selva, advocated Tuesday for “keeping the ethical rules of war in place lest we unleash on humanity a set of robots that we don’t know how to control.”
Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn’t countries be more likely to start a war.
Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn’t an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.
In a potential future conflict, high-value GPS satellites risk being hit or interfered with. If this happens, the loss of GPS could have severe consequences for communication, navigation, and banking systems in the United States.
I worked in a place where the machine room had a network time device that connected to an attena getting gps reading to give time to all the other hosts. Im pretty sure any ntp server a host has configured is only a hop or two away from a device like this.
The worry isn’t that HFT stops working. It’s that it causes a failure state that brings down the legitimate parts of the financial sector.
Like how we’re not worried about AI pilots malfunctioning and being grounded, the same way we’d worry about AI pilots malfunctioning and bombing humans.
