Looking at Russia’s war on Ukraine and just wondering if the inventors of these weapons of mass destructions really intended for it to be used for this purpose

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, military

Did they purposely set out to create inventions that will bring death and blood shed?🤔

Usually when drafting a Patent Claim for any invention, the Inventor states the benefits of the invention to the society.

Looking at the picture below i am tempted to ask, of what use are Nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction of benefit to the society?

Australia launches Space Command to counter China

Posted by in categories: government, military, space

Australia gets its own space force.


The Australian government yesterday launched the Space Command, a new defense agency with echoes of the US’ Space Force that has been tasked with securing the country’s place in an “already contested” cosmos.

Australian Minister for Defence Peter Dutton said the new defense arm would be modest to start with, although he gave no detailed staffing or budget figures.

Kremlin Spokesperson Refuses to Rule Out the Use of Nuclear Weapons | Amanpour and Company

Posted by in category: military

Putin’s war on Ukraine is entering week four. What is the Russian president’s thinking, and what is his endgame? If anyone would know, it would be Dmitry Peskov. He has served as Putin’s chief spokesperson for more than two decades. He was at the president’s side during his rise to power. As a close confidante of Putin’s, Peskov is also a high-profile target for Western sanctions. He joins the program from Moscow for an exclusive interview.

An artificial intelligence invents 40,000 chemical weapons in just 6 hours

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, health, information science, military, robotics/AI

A.I. is only beginning to show what it can do for modern medicine.

In today’s society, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is mostly used for good. But what if it was not?

Naive thinking “The thought had never previously struck us. We were vaguely aware of security concerns around work with pathogens or toxic chemicals, but that did not relate to us; we primarily operate in a virtual setting. Our work is rooted in building machine learning models for therapeutic and toxic targets to better assist in the design of new molecules for drug discovery,” wrote the researchers in their paper. “We have spent decades using computers and A.I. to improve human health—not to degrade it. We were naive in thinking about the potential misuse of our trade, as our aim had always been to avoid molecular features that could interfere with the many different classes of proteins essential to human life.”

Boeing’s Loyal Wingman drone is now officially the MQ-28A Ghost Bat

Posted by in categories: drones, military, robotics/AI

The first Australian-produced military combat aircraft in over half a century.


Boeing’s Loyal Wingman is now officially the “MQ-28A Ghost Bat.” The new military designator and name that will be used by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) for the autonomous combat drone was announced during a ceremony at the Amberley Royal Australian Air Force Base in Queensland today.

Giving the Loyal Wingman an official name may seem trivial, but it represents two major steps for the program. Being named after a native Australian bat, it acknowledges the first Australian-produced military combat aircraft in over half a century, and it also shows that the drone is moving out of the experimental phase and into a path for full deployment with the RAAF and sales to international customers.

Russia May Hold Nuclear Evacuation Drill l After Hypersonic Weapons, Putin To Use Nukes In Ukraine?

Posted by in categories: existential risks, military

Is he planning to burn everything down if he can’t win?


Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly ordered a nuclear war evacuation drill amid the war in Ukraine. A nuclear war evacuation drill is the process in which people are taken to safe places to prepare for the eventuality of nuclear war. The purported directive comes amid fears of President Putin resorting to extreme measures to force a decisive victory in the Ukraine war.

AI drug algorithms can be flipped to generate bioweapons

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, military, robotics/AI

What can heal can also be used to destroy?


MegaSyn is built to generate drug candidates with the lowest toxicity for patients. That got Urbina thinking. He retrained the model using data to drive the software toward generating lethal compounds, like nerve gas, and flipped the code so that it ranked its output from high-to-low toxicity. In effect, the software was told to come up with the most deadly stuff possible.

He ran the model and left it overnight to create new molecules.

AI suggested 40,000 new possible chemical weapons in just six hours

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, military, robotics/AI

For me, the concern was just how easy it was to do. A lot of the things we used are out there for free. You can go and download a toxicity dataset from anywhere. If you have somebody who knows how to code in Python and has some machine learning capabilities, then in probably a good weekend of work, they could build something like this generative model driven by toxic datasets. So that was the thing that got us really thinking about putting this paper out there; it was such a low barrier of entry for this type of misuse.


AI could be just as effective in developing biochemical weapons as it is in identifying helpful new drugs, researchers warn.
