Artificial intelligence will change the world as we know it — including warfare. Which is why Glenn Beck believes the Pentagon’s investment in designing new weapons is a futile waste of time, energy, and funds.
“We have to start thinking towards the future, not, ‘What’s the next generation of fighter jet look like?’” Glenn tells Stu Burguiere on “The Glenn Beck Program.” “There ain’t going to be one, dude, there’s just not. At least with a person in it.”
“Here’s what people don’t understand. ASI is going to look at the periodic table of elements and go, ‘Guys, shuffle the deck this way, and you have a material that will go 9,000 miles an hour. It will hold up under the heat and the friction; it won’t bend; it’s perfect,’” he continues.
“‘And by the way, here’s the formula, and you don’t have to go and test it for two years,’” he says. “That’s how fast things are going to happen once they start happening.”
And while it sounds good, it doesn’t sit well with Glenn.
“This scares the hell out of me, because you know how I feel about AI,” he tells Stu.
“AI obviously has a lot of negative potential consequences, and if we’re putting the government, the military, in control of that,” Stu agrees.
“The government is already involved in it,” Glenn counters. “I’m saying, let the government build power plants, build the things that we know the country is going to need, the infrastructure to be able to handle this, build the things that when they say, ‘We got it, we can turn it on,’ get prepared for whatever is coming.”
“Don’t build another aircraft carrier. Don’t design another F-57,“ he continues. “Don’t do it; you have no idea what’s coming. Fix the stuff we have, make sure we have the ammunition, make sure we have the latest and the greatest that’s already here. Don’t do R&D on that stuff.”
