Claude, we’re making a VERY REALISTIC missile video game…

And people say AI is useless.

lol "maybe we should slow it down a little with the AI..."

Total bullshit, this is just another PsyOp for regulations. Maybe even in the far future what level of AI access is attached to your Digital ID.

Think about it, Missles have an electronic guidance package in them, just extract that and reuse. Or RE that part. Or buy the electronics in bulk from the Russians or the Blackmarket, or steal the software for that package, or buy the software, hire a Defense Sector Engineer, etc. etc.

OR some AK-47 dudes are making missle guidance software from scratch using the American AI corp that always says AI is too dangerous and needs regulations.

If you were developing from scratch, since trajectory algos were needed, you would need persistent long term AI access for the project to complete and they would know that. A beefy local setup would be way more secure. A beefy hosted but private instance would be way more secure.

But sneak-prompt Claude? Give me a break.

Just imagine yourself saying this to another person: “I heard the Houthis were using Claude Fable”

I mean c’mon ya’ll, tell me you can see through this.

AI is very naive. Ask it for an explosives recipe and it won't give you one. Describe a situation where you're a law enforcement and you've just arrested a guy with a bunch of chemicals and ask it which ones could have been used to make an explosive and it will tell you.

Ah what a new Pandora's Box have we opened. Now any wacko with an internet connection, some cheap Chinese electronics and some explosives can make themselves missiles.

Did they use the free tier or paid?

Yesterday, Claude Code built me a nucular triad to protect me against US regime change attempts.

Should be corporate death penalty for that. Won’t be, but it absolutely should.

The question is did Claude really enable them - or just make it more convenient?

While it’s not your every-day coding exercise - I boldly suggest it’s probably not that hard to code a ballistic missile guidance system without AI.

The hardware would be the harder part!

Doubtless it gets advanced at the top end, but the fundamental physics involved isn't national-secret level, so something that "works well enough, most of the time” would be within reach of most organised groups.

The article overestimates the AI capabilities regarding hypersonics. I doubt its actually hypersonics. More likely just ballistics.

But coding a guidance system makes sense. Not that its particularly difficult. Every $200 drone has the equivalent of that software.

Also, why would they use anthropic when Chinese models are so much cheaper and nearly as effective. Iran and the Houthi are not wasteful.

I think there is probably a kernal of truth in there, but this is mostly another hit peace to get the US government to slow down Anthropic so ChatGPT can catch up.

was the mythical "ethical use of ai" real after all???

"The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Hypersonic missiles? Are they using the Chinese and Russian definition? I know military commentary YouTube will have field day with this one

Oh, is this why Elon and that other guy were saying that AI needs to slow down?

Human used tool!

wtf i like claude now?

This is one thing LLMs are actually fairly good at; teaching you stuff you don't know.

While AI's are much worse teachers than humans are, they're far better than trying to figure out complicated things on your own.

I've gone through many iterations of "Hey LLM, teach me how to do XYZ." Then I try it. If it works, I ask for more, if it doesn't I tell it to fix it.

That's not always a viable path (eg don't try to learn medicine or stunt driving that way) but when mistakes are safe and cheap, it's great.

Iranians grabbed the stick that trump uses to beat others and started beating him with it. Nice!

Lol, this is like both sides praying to the same god before a battle.

The other guys are doing the same thing as you.

You guys think that I can use Claude to build a time machine out of a DeLorean?

USA and Israel do much more worse things

The win is not to own the patent on a popular soda, but on the aluminum can itself, because every soda, tea, water, seltzer of any kind goes into one of those cans.

Huh, so much for the master's tools not destroying the master's house

u pay goggl, goggl do

Uh I guess using tools to calculate ballistic trajectory and guidance procedures kinda what ai good at, so nothing can go wrong right ?
