@br4s1d4s I should play with this. I wonder if old people like me that started by paying LexisNexis by the search and had to build complex search strings before submitting them have an advantage to writing AI prompts?
this is good.
This Call for Papers is actually examining a potential writer’s skill in writing a prompt for an AI, more than the writer’s ability to write an article. divergentoptions.org/2024/03/03/cal…
@DivergentOption Wonderful insight, and a problem that will be more relevant as the years progress.
@DivergentOption Been thinking about this for some time. Great paper.
@Dr_M_Davis Hello @DivergentOption this is very much in line with those two assessments I wrote 🤣
@DivergentOption My last assesment on Iran turned out to be correct 😳
אחת הטענות שאני שומע, בהקשר של הקצנת הימין הלאומני/פופוליסטי בארה"ב נגזר מה-"חטא הקדמון" שמדינת ישראל מקבלת סיוע בהיקף של 3.8 מליארד לשנה. כתבתי עבור @DivergentOption את האופן שבו הממשל הבא צריך להתייחס להסכם שפוקע ב-2028. אוסף מאמרים בענייני בטחון לאומי divergentoptions.org/2024/02/19/the…

This very much hits the nail on the head, but I see the most likely outcome as in between the two options presented.

If looking at current military manpower shortages through an Ends-Ways-Means over Risk framework then an American Foreign Legion as @MDPurzycki discusses in a @DivergentOption assessment can mitigate risk associated with a reduction of means available with no chance to ends.

@DivergentOption This is a great article by Dr. Stoil
@DivergentOption recently put out a call for papers written by AI, which I tried my hand at. After several hours of trying to talk to Gemini about geopolitics & having it shoot down basically every supposition I'd make, I don't think I'd trust it with much x.com/laurae_thomas/…
This is actually really clever, because AI is going to require skilled operators just like any other technology. The old adage "garbage in, garbage out" will still apply, and learning to work *with* AI is going to be critical, especially for strategists.
This Call for Papers will enable us to see what kind of national security articles can be generated by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on the prompt the AI receives.divergentoptions.org/2024/03/03/cal…
@DivergentOption You have my vote, but Naval Institute is going to be rough — i’ll do my best with some IOs
