I'm surprised the DoD is spending as little as $250MM on this type of Big Data/AI research. Most of the technology outlined in Lemnois' memo is interesting and exciting, rather than intimidating and indicative of "Terminator development." I'm particularly excited about "reasoning and inference engines that can learn from experience with little training and within mission timeframes" and advances in "human-machine interfaces to enable seamless collaboration for operations and for training." Maybe a little less hyperbole in the post title next time?

they're not only spending $250mil, they're spending an ADDITIONAL $250mil on this new project.

Agreed. In fact, none of it is indicative of terminator development. That's a totally different DoD initiative.
