Today: AI and the future of war – with "Flash Wars" director Daniel Wunderer
AI is now powering weapons systems like drones, robots, and the targeting algorithms they use. Mark speaks with Daniel Wunderer, the director of the documentary “Flash Wars: Autonomous Weapons, A.I. and the Future of Warfare.”
• Trailer for “Flash Wars”
• “Flash Wars” on Videoproject site

• Oct 14, 2024 Techtonic with Yaroslav Trofimov, author of “Our Enemies Will Vanish” on the war in Ukraine
• This Is Our Country, and We Have No Other (gift link, NYT, by Artem Chekh, writing from Kyiv): “the truth is too obvious. The whole world knows who started this war. I’m not entirely clear whom Mr. Trump is speaking to, but he’s not speaking to Ukrainians. All we can do is fight on and defend our right to exist.”
• The Ultimate Betrayal (by Francis Fukuyama, Persuasion, Feb 20, 2025):
We are in the midst of a global fight between Western liberal democracy and authoritarian government, and in this fight, the United States has just switched sides and signed up with the authoritarian camp.• The significance of Feb 24 by Dimko Zhluktenko on Mastodon: “it’s a symbol of resilience, bravery, and Ukrainian people fighting for their Freedom against all odds.”
What Trump has said over the past few days about Ukraine and Russia defies belief. He has accused Ukraine of having started the war by not preemptively surrendering to Russian territorial demands; he has said that Ukraine is not a democracy; and he has said that Ukrainians were wrong to resist Russian aggression. These ideas are likely not ones he thought up himself, but come straight from the mouth of Vladimir Putin, a man Trump has shown great admiration for.
. . . The United States under Donald Trump is not retreating into isolationism. It is actively joining the authoritarian camp.
