If you believed any promises from Google in the past 15 years I have some insurance I would like to sell you.

A corporate promise is worth shit.

What trend? Lying about being noble while trying to destroy everything in their way?

They've been doing that for 25 years now. It's not a trend, it's a business model.

But for whom will the AI be turned against? Is this their solution to armed civilians taking back the country from both parties using gorilla warfare? By using AI do they hope to remove the advantage civilians would have in "hit and run" assaults on military targets? Why keep increasing the edge of military capabilities unless you are preparing for a really massive enemy?

It's the ultimate dream of the filthy rich, to not having to rely on human guards to protect them from the rabble out to kill them sooner or later, because human guards could decide to switch sides.

Humans continue to exist. It's part of a troubling trend.
