Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_ · 16h From today's article in the WSJ on how AI is being used in Iran. The Army is matching prior performance levels using just 20 personnel for targeting tasks that previously used 2000. [Embedded quoted article image]: The U.S. Army's 18th Airborne Corps, using software from data company Palantir Technologies in a continuing string of exercises dubbed Scarlet Dragon, matched its own record from Iraq as the military's most efficient targeting operation ever, according to Emelia Probasco, a senior fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Security and Emerging Technology. Thanks to AI, the corps achieved that with only 20 people, compared with more than 2,000 staffers employed in Iraq, she said.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A tweet sharing a WSJ excerpt about AI/Palantir software drastically reducing personnel needed for military targeting operations (100x reduction). Relevant to AI safety/military-application concerns Nathan tracks around AI capability uplift and dual-use military AI deployment.
