The military mindset is all about shirking responsibility by saying "I was just following orders" -- a syndrome which goes all the way to the top, where you put an irresponsible moron scapegoat, thereby making the unthinkable more likely, as the obedient minions scurry to carry out stupid illegal orders.
AI is the ultimate scapegoat boondoggle in that one can always point to AI and say "I didn't come up with this plan, Claude did, or Grok" or whomever is the dummy dujour.
What we need to do is disallow the scapegoating of AI. I'm sure AI is telling RAND to nuke Russia now and be done with it. It's the humans who listen to AI who are dumber than dumb.
Washington DC think tanks are notoriously lazy, full of over-privileged primate school [sic] chumps like Victoria Nuland, the "brain" behind the Nuland Nazis, the ones tried to make an ethno-state outta Ukraine (dumb dumb dumb).
Let's call out the think tanks for what they are: worthless at best, a source of great human misery on average.
