that's truly incredible how much lives can be saved with good electronics and it-systems. I wish the war ends asap, before the autonomous ai-powered drones comes into play... because at that point this might become complete skynet-like hell.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic about terms of war in Ukraine.

Unfortunately, war in Ukraine looks not like war of one country against another country, but this war like Democracy and free market against Communism.

And rumors said, military support for Russia from North Korea is larger, than support for Ukraine from US.

Just now military power of Ukraine is near to equal to Russian, but this is not sufficient to return occupied Ukrainian territories in some overseen time. I'm not sure, if we could afford Korean variant of large part of country sacrificed to communists to end war, because Russia will not stop there, they want to occupy territories of other countries - Poland, Baltic states.

So, we working hard, to make Ukrainian military more powerful with new technologies. All possible to save people lives. And yes, we use robotic units at real war, but their intelligence extremely limited, even GPT-3 is too resource demand to be useful, only image recognition technology now is practical at field.

Certainly China is funding NK support. So they use NK to covertly provide military support to Russia while they front as the "good guys" that support "peace" and only provide economical support to Russia.

Agree. NK is classic proxy country, not independent. To be more strict, their behavior is shown in good film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_of_Spies_(film)
Must admit, I absolutely agree with your concerns, that it is extremely bad if AGI will be used at war.

I hope, we will end this war before AGI appear.
