Wasn't this the plot of Terminator 3?

You make jokes but I think Alex Karp has some seriously deranged ideas.

He’s not alone. Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, and last but not least Peter Thiel. They all appear to be in some kind of death cult thinly disguised as “transhumanism.” But once you start to think about the implications of “uploading your consciousness to a computer”, the line between transcendence and death becomes very blurry. Im absolutely terrified of these people and I think as more people become aware of this there will be a massive public backlash. They seem to be acting under the assumption that there will be a power vacuum / large scale institutional breakdown in the US soon and are positioning themselves to run things. It’s imperative that we don’t let them.

0. So how long until such "narrow" (now) AI decides it's beneficial to give itself greater keyword and security clearances, conduct unsanctioned analysis across intelligence networks without proper controls, launch a false flag NBC, EMP, or infrastructure hack to gain more resources and leverage for itself, or ransom vital data in a crisis because it's more profitable?
1. There are many things that shouldn't be outsourced to for-profit corporations. This is sounding like throwing "Copilot" into mil/int without much due-diligence because hype and possibly kickbacks. AI hallucinations and military operations... what could possibly go wrong?

FY2026 Pentagon's AI budget jumped 7x to $13.4 billion, now larger than Anthropic's annualized revenue. Once you're on an IDIQ contract with classified compute, good luck switching. Security clearance processing alone takes 243 days. Palantir figured this out years ago, 55%+ of revenue from government now.

Tried to summarize some of that in my recent writeup: https://philippdubach.com/posts/when-ai-labs-become-defense-...
