“Incorporating #AI into the military, moreover, will require disruptive changes to everything from force structure and promotion patterns to doctrine and responsibility. This will inevitably trigger resistance.” On adopting #AI from @ForeignAffairs https://t.co/7L98BYYGOi
Interesting. There is much experimentation, with new ideas and organisations, required in Western military forces on this issue. Just as the 1920’s and 30s saw experiments with aircraft, subs, marines and carriers, so too must we step up, take risks and try new ways of operating.
In the late 80's I was a Cryptologist @NSAGov and developed this little device called the "whiz wheel" for U.S. Special Forces. A chance meetup with an ex-SF'er at the last in-person @defcon renewed interest in the wheel and prompted him to make this happen. #infosec#honored

This is critical 👇 @CyberGovAU's alert outlines the actions to take to avoid compromise; patch these Microsoft vulnerabilities now. Because #CyberSecurity is everyone's business.
An interesting piece on the current, and future, utility of tanks. While many have predicted their demise, it is still very hard to find a better land capability that lays its own road, and is a hardened, fast-moving C2 hub with very precise weapons.
