This NPR report details a major speech by Pope Leo XIV hitting out against the massive rise in high tech military spending. Speaking at Europe’s largest university in Rome, he warned that combining massive military budgets with artificial intelligence is leading humanity into a „spiral of annihilation.“ He heavily critized how governments are pumping money into automated warfare at the expense of things like healthcare and education just to enrich elites.
The core of his message was a demand for strict monitoring over how AI is used by militaries. He said we can’t let these tools absolve humans of responsibility for their choices, because taking the human element out just makes conflicts worse.
I agree. Heartless automatons could run amok and slaughter untold numbers of innocent people. Elites could build armies with hardly any humans. Science Fiction writers have seen this coming but nothing has been done.
Now I want a movie about religious automatons going on a crusade
Humanity will actively swear off organized religion if it means we get to kill each other more efficiently and zealously. The entire species is a death cult.
A good read. If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies
Book by Eliezer Yudkowsky
Religion is still more dangerous mate, relax it’s still in first place nobody is taking your title.
I think the decision-makers see these things as a way to absolve the criminality and cruelty of their decisions.
„I didn’t do it – the computer did.“ While completely ignoring why entrusting such a decision to a computer is itself an even more criminal and cruel decision.
Catholic church redemption arc just getting warmed up
This Pope seems to a be little more intelligent than previous ones. Has better big picture of the world today. That’s saying a lot since I’m not a follower or believer in their fictional dogma.
I think airborne warfare should be illegal. Dropping bombs and shooting missiles is weak, cowardly fighting. If you want to fight then fight
Or maybe we can have wars with much lower loss of human life?
I love Da Pope. He’s just saying banger after banger.
Just ask the question; why put data centers in orbit if they are many times more expensive than on the planet and more vulnerable to the Chinese?
The only advantage is it’s really hard for citizens to get at if it starts controlling things they don’t want.
I feel like we are in the orderly stage of calmly boarding trains because we don’t want to make a fuss.
