Thanks for verifying the facts.
Comment on Pentagon AI more ethical than adversaries’ because of ‘Judeo-Christian society,’ USAF general says

Hypothesis: Like, no, that’s obviously wrong; either the headline is trash or the general made a whole tossed salad with mango sauce out of whatever the people working on it said. (stated before further investigation; stay tuned)

That doesn’t sit right with me. It sounds to me, in that moment, like they’re implying that people from other cultures could be less moral, and that we should be willing to be more free with our weapons towards such people.
This is, unfortunately, how many, many very religious people think. And it’s not only insulting for everyone not following their beliefs, but also terrifying in my opinion.
People who believe their god is the only thing that makes them moral aren’t really moral. Because then they never consider why it’s important to, you know, not be an asshole. It’s just compliance.
And the terrifying part is that since their only frame of reference regarding what “good” is would be whatever their religion dictates, it’s always on the verge of breaking completely. You just need to listen to the wrong interpretation at the wrong moment in your life.

you could work for politifact with how dumb this attempt at “fact checking” was
the headline is absolutely representative of what he implied and you are the one being misleading by claiming that it isn’t.

Folks can go watch it and see. No need to be a butt about it.

Don’t mind that turd. You took the time to do a thoughtful breakdown. It is a subtle nuance whether “Pentagon AI would be more ethical” or “AI managed by Pentagon staff would be used more ethically” and you were right to point it out. The headline could be accused of oversimplifying or clickbaiting but I don’t think it was intentionally falsifying claims. The real story, as you pointed out, is the sense of righteousness and declaring a moral high ground based on any religion.
