> Anduril, which also manufactures border control tech, lethal drones, and military aircraft, has been developing EagleEye since its inception, and already provides software for the Army's existing MR goggles, based on Microsoft's HoloLens hardware. Its partnership with Meta was announced this May, and the company told TechCrunch at the time that the collaboration was to develop EagleEye. It's a reunion of sorts for Luckey and Mark Zuckerberg, after Meta purchased Luckey's then-start-up Oculus in 2014 and fired the founder three years later.

AI powered virtual reality combat helmet:
Is the AI Hallucinating? Is the invasion real, or is it all virtual lies?
Wait, is it on purpose? Are human soldiers killing all the women because the AI is trying to wipe us all out?
TWIST. The AI is innocent - it's just been hacked by...
1) Russia
2) China
3) CANADA????

No, hacked by Jimmy Smith, age 14, of Colorado, who is interested in shoot-em-up war games with realism. His dad's machine was connected through Comcast to his bot at the local library. /sarcasm
In reality, I hope this is just a pilot. And there are overrides. And it doesn't come with an included shock collar.

It does write itself.
Soldier in trench on the frontlines in Eastern Poland. Incoming artillery rounds thud closer and closer. The an alarm for an incoming drown swarm headed for his sector. He quickly begins to configure countermeasures, and ....
A "Hey soldier, would you like to meet women over 40 in your area?" ad pops up. Unable to find the close pop-up X in time he perishes.
BTW so nice that there is continuity in the graft of DOD procurement. Different names, but the scam still remains the same.

tbh if all it did was chant "Remember your vows. defend the constitutioon" over and over again, that might end up being useful.

I used to feel bad for Gawker outing Peter Thiel while he was in the middle east. Not anymore.

I'd settle for members of Congress getting that message: Oath to The Constitution, Responsibilities of Congress, Checks and Balances, ... -- you know, all the stuff we (should have) learned in high school government class.
For SCOTUS, I'd add: Don't pull and misapply stuff from 400 years ago to invent justifications for your agendas. If you're an Originalist or Textualist, then be that more than just when it's convenient.
