And especially in these circumstances, where you're trying to build up a work force with a common culture, as it were. My training lasted four months, not four weeks. My class came from different branches of the military, different types of LE, different educational backgrounds, different work experiences. The goal was not only to train but to get everyone on the same page, accepting the same organizational culture as valid and workable. You don't get that with what was described in that article.
As I'm watching video of the operations and the protests, I've often thought it looked as though the ICE "teams" do not look like they have trained together on tactics in many instances. Even if you come from a military/LEO background with a lot of tactical training - like a SRT/SWAT background - they will all be somewhat different in training curriculum and even equipment. You have to train together and direct that knowledge and experience to operate as a cohesive team, particular to the operational task. I see ICE agents who are obviously competent and experienced, but they're mixed in with guys who obviously are not at that level, probably due to a lack of training, plus additional education in immigration law. That's dangerous for them and the public, as we can see. As you said, you also have to have a cohesive organizational culture.
Another justification to prop up Big Tech at our expense, rolling over our national debt, to make it look like we've got an economy, artificially creating GDP growth to the benefit of the major shareholders behind the investment banking conglomerates. While meanwhile creating digital concentration camps targeted at us. Guess who rules who.
I think Hegseth is desperate to take control of the military away from the Deep State, and he thinks AI is one way to help him do it. But at this juncture there are many more things that AI is not good at than otherwise. Just like military recruits, AI is no better than the training it receives. We know that the quality of AI training is all over the map, and nothing guarantees a poor result like a rushed implementation. At the end of the day AI cannot think, it cannot comprehend and it can’t solve any problem that hasn’t already been solved or for which the solution has already been derived. It is very good at making statistical associations at the speed of light, an impressive but “dumb” exercise. A haphazard implementation of AI in the military is a disaster. There are many things that it should never be allowed to touch.
Let's face it. AI is nothing more than a glorified (and very fast) research assistant. As such, it should only be used by someone who has enough knowledge to discern whether the information being provided by the AI seems reasonable. Without that it is truly the blind leading the blind. If the AI is "hallucinating", as they like to say, someone needs to be able to see it for what it is.
I should add Hegseth's mantra: "...operate “without ideological constraints that limit lawful military applications.” This is the same as Trump's saying he is only constrained by his own conscience, and the thought that he himself isn't aiming to hurt anyone. Birds of a feather.....Send them both to Siberia, with DJT brand of windbreakers.
So hegseth is essentially stating that because it is AI it won’t be subject to moral, ethical, and judicial review. As in bombs away. Red button here we go!
I do not use AI at all, refusing the speedy and accurate perfectly true promises of all AI makers and investors. Pressure tactics in constant direct persuasion efforts coming to my inbox, youtube ad feed, new web site placements, and telephone (cell phone) spam!!!!! Nothing true can be known without the individual person's judgment of the thinn within the specific circumstance. I disdain the sales pitches that everybody wants everything to be easy, comfortable and comforting, emotionally relatable, and agreeable to what the trend is, or that friends say. Hegseth believes the artificial information is better than the human mind---he's biased from self-reflection, never mind from actual work
I see someone has put boots on the ground in Greenland. I can't figure out if the boots are Trump's or his EU gofers'. With AI in charge, it's a waste of time to read any news except that published by Meaning in History.
Statistically it seems extremely unlikely that 100% of the ICE inputs are garbage, and likewise that 100% of the ICE outputs are garbage. Also, the proportion might even decrease during training. Or, increase. Who knows?
I agree, and add to your "bro" list: David Saks sits at the table alongside Hegseth---he's the AI czar who's in with the Silicon valley in-crowd as investor, as well as being a popullar influencer online with his All-In Podcast poker pals.
"Thiel - Karp - Palantir" causes my brain to see red.
They do not do the work. In its early days, Palantir boasted that its engineers were the best and the brightest, from America's top universities.
In other words, our children, daughters, sons, nephews, grandchildren. The ones we had high hopes for, that we tried to provide the best education for, in the hope -- expectation? -- they would advance the American project.
It's bad enough that Jewish Nationalists, having made use of US finest universities to advance their children to promote the Israel First agenda (see, ie. Eric Cohen, The Exodus Project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWlJu7eDgnM ), our own children are being used for the same, not-America-First, agenda.
Online schooling isn't worth sh*t!!

They hired every bounty hunter in America.

Blame it on the AI? Pretty lame. What are all these DHS people doing? Sitting around with AI running everything?
Did AI recommend taking Greenland?
I see someone has put boots on the ground in Greenland. I can't figure out if the boots are Trump's or his EU gofers'. With AI in charge, it's a waste of time to read any news except that published by Meaning in History.
Mall cops with delusions of grandeur.
And guns.
Well, at least they don't have to undergo gender sensitivity training.
GIGO? I think you're being most unfair.

I think Mark was referring to the AI algorithm, not the ICE recruits.
Indeed... Evidently my attempt at humor fell short... not for the first time! :)
