This episode explores the Pentagon’s AI strategy, America’s race for military AI dominance, and what happens when autonomous systems move from Silicon Valley into modern warfare.

We discuss AI enabled targeting, Project Maven, Anthropic, OpenAI, AI alignment, surveillance systems, autonomous weapons, and whether the speed of AI development makes global conflict more likely or less likely.
