Minister of Defense of Ukraine: Ukraine opens battlefield data to train AI models for autonomous systems — first in the world. Millions of annotated combat frames from thousands of missions are now available for partners to train AI. This creates a new win-win cooperation model: partners refine their technologies with unique data, while Ukraine scales frontline capabilities.

Anthropic has potentially committed commercial suicide to not be used for this purpose in the US because they felt they could not guaranty their software would behave itself, but OpenAI seems to have chosen the side with the money bags.

I had dinner last night with a former US military procurement bigwig and she was adamant that the position taken by the DoD was the correct one and it was unconscionable for a vendor to constrain the use of their product (even from mass surveillance of the US population).

Warfare is about to get real interesting.
