I’ve actually heard from pretty respectable folks, that one, an possibly quite an important one as it is, of the goals of NATO in Ukraine is to gather training data for war/propaganda oriented AI, via the palantir company. And apparently same goes for Israel, so for this purpose who wins is not relevant just that the fight rages on.
And lastly and quite concerning palantir apparently has expanded towards south Korea, which is quite alarming if the trend continues.
I don’t fear war ai right now, the point that scares me is US to stir up war in Korea (again) just to gather more data to train their models. And here are some sources, nothing conclusive but it is quite suggestive https://www.palantir.com/platforms/aip/defense/

My reading of this(now we’re into full speculation mode) is that all this ai training madness on Ukraine is the US both realizing that the eastern block might be better armed them them, as well as the US trying to use the headstart they have in advanced machine learning hardware, via nvidia and stuff to try to get the military upper hand via ai before it’s too late. I think this is more out despair than sound strategy, but this whole analysis might be wishful thinking leading me to think the US is in worse shape than it really is.
