The future of warfare is robotic warfare, specifically large volumes of cheap attritionable autonomous munitions.

Human soldiers are legacy technology that do not fare well against drones, for evidence (obligatory NSFW tag): Check reddit /r/CombatFootage/

Human soldiers are still used extensively on the battlefield - but are in the process of being replaced by machines.

Who exactly will you be a chef to, when all the high income jobs with disposal are automated? There are only so many oligarchs to cook for

Training AI models on videos of drones scrapped from public sources. Everyone in Europe is building ani drone systems and nobody has real data. Lots of companies operating on synthetics only.

Lots of work to automatically filter and process scraped footage into something that will train well.

We are now moving to a post human economy. When AGI automates all human labour, the consumer i.e. the bulk of humanity stops mattering (economically speaking). It then just becomes Mega corps run by machines making stuff for each other. Resources are then strictly priorities for the machines over everything else. We are seeing this movement already with silicon wafers and electricity.

Collecting public datasets for training visual AI models to track and target drones.

Drones are real bastards - there's a lot of startups working on anti drone systems and interceptors, but most of them are using synthetic data. The data I'm collecting is designed to augment the synthetic data, so anti drone systems are closer to field testing

Anonymization of PII data in documents using diffusion models - I'm in the process of reproducing academic papers. The idea is you can replace sensitive information from financial/medical documents with synthetic analogues without visually altering them, so they can be kept/used for AI training

What happens when AGI is able to think better than us? Will governments close schools and universities as its no longer economically useful?
