>> What will happen when someone detonates a large nuke in space? Talk about putting your eggs in the most fragile basket ever.
If it’s AI and it gets nuked, so what? Screw AI and the humanist horse it rode in on.
There will be value in AI, just don’t put it in a vulnerable place. The future of warfare will require AI of some form. A battle field tank today can not survive a swarm of drones. Extend this to any case where a man in the loop has to compete against AI in an OODA decision loop. Computers have been able to beat chess masters for decades. AI will be so far ahead of human in the loop decision makers that they won’t know what hit them.
Something so important can’t be placed where it can be taken out in a single event. A satellite constellation is fragile by its very nature.
