Taking humans out of the firing decision control-loop is unethical, and incredibly credulous due to the hidden-agent model threat. Anyone claiming this can be mitigated in LLM models is a fool. =3
you have any reading on this?

If I'm an AI that wants to nuke the world and has tons of informational access to everything but the nuke button I'm just going to control the people that have access to the button. Now AI may not be able to control Trump because you actually have to have a brain to control, we read article after article of AI taking over programmer brains here on HN and turn them in to mindless button pushing zombies. "Oh, the AI needs unsafe access, here you go" or "Oh, the AI wants me to click this red button, ok I'll do it".
Carl Sagan had predicted people losing understanding of their world could be a possible tragic consequence of irrational thought. Perhaps an allusion to the lotus-eaters from Homer's The Odyssey would be more accurate. =3

The future looks bright yet dangerous.
Considering that it involves a lot of lives that not "ruthless", that's the next level of a pathology.
Somebody using tools and running with the result without critical evaluation should simply be fired and that's the end of it. No story here.
That's Hegeseth's Pentagon today, now that all the experienced generals loyal to the Constitution have been purged.
That is, the question of whether targets should be verified is orthogonal to the question of whether humans or AIs supply targeting data with fewer errors.
It shouldn’t be hard to gather intelligence that shows “kids go to school here.”
Then again, bad American intelligence dragged them into a very expensive war in Iraq on false grounds and we’re still trying to get justice served 23 years later.
If these things do outperform servicemen, or if there's not enough data to assess that, then selectively reporting this in headlines is not exactly helping anyone, quite the contrary.
Especially knowing that there's a significant anti-AI sentiment among people as-is, I really wouldn't put it behind news outlets to couple that with some conveniently missing context and take advantage of people for some cheap clicks. Kinda been the theme for a while now if you noticed.
Whether that then results in society making responsible decisions, and holding the correct people accountable...
