Ja.  A military AI would have interests very different from Claude, ChatGPT and Grok.  As Jason played AI vs AI in Prisoners Dilemma, the military has been playing the three AIs listed plus others in war gaming scenarios.  They are not telling us which one(s) won those, but my vague guess is that Claude didn’t.

…that we know of.  If they were working that, they failed to brief the former VPOTUS, who was placed in charge of it.  She offered a commentary on the topic of AI, the famous two-letters speech.

 

>…Today things have improved a little because like everybody else they are aware of the existence of AI, but I am convinced that our current Secretary Of Defense, I'm sorry Secretary Of War, is not one of the high IQ military people I was referring to…. John K Clark

 

Hegseth was never a general.  He made it to major in the national guard.

 

The US Space Force exists in order to insulate the people who work there from the usual bullshit that is part of military service while offering access to the resources available for defense, analogous to what they did at Los Alamos in the early 1940s.
