When did the US poulation stop believing in a better society and world? A bad progression is something that can be fixed. We do not need AI in weapons, we need a law that forces the children of presidents starting war to automatically be conscripted to the front line of said war.

I don't think the US population has ever thought we don't need to develop weapons. To not do so is to put us at risk of subjugation or destruction. It's an entirely different question from whether we should be using them on anyone at any given time (personally I lean more isolationist on that question than most of the population apparently does).

Of course it's also a different question from whether we should allow mass surveillance against ourselves, which obviously we should not.

Says who? You?

Sorry, but you are just 1 person, 1 vote.

Unless you believe your vote outweighs other people’s vote.

Today, 40% of Americans today still approve of Trump and his actions. Another 10-20% probably don’t care. Even after Iran’s attack and DoW x OAI collab.

Which leaves the “no AI in weapons” camp at less than 50%.
