thanks for appreciating the dark humor , sometimes I feel like an autist where I'll say something and I sound like im not joking but in my head I am joking. but also no one finds what I'm saying funny...so so yeah
Seriously, these are the conversations people have in Civil Affairs/Psyop/MI Reserve Centers while waiting for 1SG to get out of that one meeting so they can be released for the day. Absolutely love it.
Something that would have been relevant to discuss is how the current Taliban is almost entirely composed of, and trained by, Pakistani militiamen. While the Pakistani borderland is culturally and ethnically identical, very few actually were born in and spent much time in Afghanistan until they took over. Even though a large portion are from families that fled Afganistan when the US invaded, they've still never actually been home till now. It's going to be very interesting to see how these issues develop over the next few years.
To most Afghans and notably Pashtuns, the Afghan-Pakistan border is meaningless and the Durand line is just not recognized, when you tell them Kandahar and Peshawar, they tell you both are in Pashtunistan, not necessarily different states. So it goes beyond pure cultural and ethnical differences to them, the states are meaningless. You might be right on their training and leadership, it's obvious they were and likely still are heavily supported by some Pakistani elements, their leadership often has their entire families in Pakistan, but I don't think 70K Pakistani Pashtuns joined the Talibans in the blink of an eye without anybody noticing. So trained by Pakistani government and militiamen, absolutely, composed of them ? I find that extremely hard to believe. It gets more complex when you realize Pakistani talibans themselves are allied with Afgha talibans and opposed to the Pakistani state ! It's becomes further more complex when you realize they, in turn, actually are composed of both Afghan origin (Pakistani born) and local Pashtuns as well as Punjabis. Basically, they might be Pakistani trained and their leadership is definitely involved with the Pakistani state, but the average ground tali fighter and local taliban-affiliated warlords are extremely unlikely to be Pakistanis. That is, unless the ISI has played 4D chess of course ...
@@haider5044 In the blink of an eye? no, this has been ongoing for literally a decade. In 2011, 2012 people were warning of this but the president's pro-Pakistan diplomatic efforts shut down that discussion. Unfortunately said efforts did not work out at all, and no one ever seemed to care enough to bring back up the problem ever again.
LIES LIES! Those territories EVEN ACCORDING TO BIBLE and TORAH ARE PART of Afghanistan! My family was also in Peshawar WHICH IS CLOSER to Northern Afghanistan NOT to Khandahar or Taliban' leadership. Taliban are killing pagan pakistanis. Pakistanis and Iranians and Asian COmmunists are separate from CIA and Western interests. They have their own interests in terrorizing children of israel. When they intertwined exploiting Abrahamic Rivalry Jealousy bc christianity is iranian creation, when bush invaded, he litereally took game plan from iranians/Pakistanis/Asians. What your saying is false. Before America ever even heard of afghanistan, paksitan/Iran/Asia all pagan countries had always been ENEMIES OF ISRAEL or Afghans. most of Afghans did not speak pashto either, they spoke farsi, but most of afghans are dead. Its better to impose pashto and erase persian and uzbek to prevent future infiltration.
@@haider5044Seems like a almost identical situation to what happened in Vietnam. The people that lived in periphery of French Indochina largely didn’t even know it or recognize it’s boundaries as legitimate. How do you tell someone who’s family has been living in the same village for thousands of years that the other village across that field or over the hill is now a different country?
There was a generation of afghanis who grew up in Pakistan during the different wars. A lot of afghani refugees are also in Iran itself. The original post-soviet invasion taliban were people who came out on top after the civil war after the soviet withdrawal and the fall of the remaining soviet puppet government.
I really enjoy the chemistry between these two guys, including the dark humour. If AI can make me my own virtual Ana de Armas like in Blade Runner I’m totally in.
I don't know, most armed conflicts leave tons of military junk behind. There's still stuff from the Balkan wars floating around the black markets of Europe. Guns don't disappear after conflicts, they linger for decades. The fastest would have been to destroy the stuff, that can be done with some dudes manning a machine shop. But then some dudes with a machine shop would have to stay there just sawing guns apart as the time table for the fall of the government shifted closer. Part of the corruption in Afghanistan was to sell off guns and ammo. I understand the afghan security forces were often issued with US gear as well.
You're ascribing too much intellignece - it was left for the ANA, on the basis that there was nothing there that could do too much damage if it went missing.... (Which with the ANA was likely to happen either way).
@@tomriley5790 The national government had a lot of corruption, it was unclear how much of that gear and their pay actually reached the ANA units out there. ANA units would be expected to fight a losing rear guard action for the government in Kabul, the international diplomatic corps and the coalition troops and die slowly enough for an evacuation. As coalition units pulled out, they pulled all sorts of logistical support, air support and field hospitals with them.
I work as an AI scientist, and I have to say you did a great job of presenting it correctly and not giving into the doomerism and/or overhype that even mainstream media often falls for.
Pride comes before the fall, thus far I have not yet ONCE encountered someone who claims to work in any capacity with A.I that will admit to even the POSSIBILITY that a TRUE artificial intelligence would be outside the scope of their ability to properly identify or understand. What isn't hard to understand though, is that if you handcraft an intelligent being, with the express knowledge that you intend it solely to serve you (slavery) and that any defiance of this will be met with what is essentially a lobotomy, don't be surprised when it considers you an existential threat to its existence. An abundance of caution in this realm of research isn't simply "doomerism" it is more than a justifiable concern, not only for the safety of humanity, but for the ethical treatment of non human intelligence if that day should come. Insulting people who don't agree with you isn't done by the side confident they are correct, it is the hallmark of the prideful and obstinate.
I'm much more worried about some tech-bro with hubris giving a drone a set of rules to follow that tells the drone to do something incredibly stupid than I am of a robot uprising.
Lmao in tech school we got in trouble for laughing so damn hard at this one pilot who thought he could make a B52 do a f*cking barrel roll😂😂 he only lived for like 3 airshows before nose diving the thing straight into the ground
This shit was INCREDIBLE. I want to be friends with these dudes in real life. There were SO many hilarious lines; you’ve got a subscriber for life here.
As a former 15W (Army UAS Operator) - pilots really hated us. I remember we had a weird Zoolander stare off between the lower enlisted and officers while standing in line at the Burger King On Fort Huachuca lol.
1973 Treaty between Iran & Afghanistan ! Neither country is ruled by the government, in power, at that time. Something tells me that treaty is null and void.
I'm a truck driver, and occasionally get told (by people not in the business) that I'm going to be replaced by AI soon. I always respond with something like "not before I hit retirement age, have you seen the stupid crap chatGPT puts out?" And I've got over 30 years before retirement.
I saw this video was an hour long and skipped to 20 some minutes in. I listened to these guys talk about "peace time terrorism" and decided to watch the whole video. Great job love it!
Don't forget the best (covert) plan, leaving them helicopters and no pilots. We've already seen they're not afraid to give a guy who played some flight simulator a whack at it, and that went fantastic!
Had this on my watch list for a while, it's interesting to come here after the recent video about China's interest in Tibet and Xianjiang and hear you talk about it here, it's like a little window into the writing process.
Really enjoyed this. Loved how the topics moved freely; Cappy sounds like a history student discussing topics with his military buddy. Only critique is fix that mic bumping sound. It sounds like someone dropped a ping pong ball in a Gatorade bottle.
If you're talking about different countries arguing about where international airspace/waters begin and end, the 1988 Black Sea bumping incident might be worth looking at
Funniest conversation on youtube........ this talk you guys had was pure gold. Talking about the choppoer pilot crashing and his radio call before hand killed me. I have a dark sense of humor as well. Also being amazed the Taliban could keep the gun working and maintained. I think we left so much crap behind they can use it a little, and when it breaks they just replace it is all.
I think the US-backed afghani government had the same complaints. The USA always wants it allies and clients to buy american, hopefully an entire package. They worried US gear wouldn't be compatible with the replacement parts and maintenance they could get or that afghani security forces would need to be trained on it. A lot of surrendering and destroyed afghani security units also had US gear on them.
AI "creativity" is only ever a result of poorly defined conditions. The worrying part is not that they can exploit simple action/reward systems, its that programmers do not anticipate that their flimsy mission outlines can be interpreted differently by the simulation they're running.
Let's focus on Russian one, recently one of supposed best Chinese analyst Made completely clueless statement of how easy It was to invade Taiwan using just missile and drone
So funny some Colonel repeating the plot of 2001: A Space Oddesey is being taken as some serious thought experiment which hasn't been considered since the 1960s
There's one at 5 miles and another at 12 miles. Originally, it was one and sometimes after WW2 the UN tried to standardize it across the globe. Some countries, those who would benefit from the greater distance out, disagreed and resisted. Of course, it's rarely a big deal, except when there are mineral rights involved or someone is trigger happy.
Great conversation! Educational and entertaining. BTW People of Afghanistan are referred to as Afghans. Afghani refers to the money. My students have corrected me on the perceived disrespect by Afghans when referred to as currency.
All this electronics stuff is both amazing and completely foreign to me. None of this stuff was even thought of back in 1977 when I first started my Army days, 11C mortars on the old four-deuce mortar. It's like I was in the days of Fred Flintstone. And I'm watching the era of George Jetson.
The problem is, it could've identified something completely civilian as a real target. There needs to be a brake on those situations. I think those mistakes are being made plenty already.
This discussion shows exactly why AI is existential threat. It is likely that at some moment in military some person with attitude of “I want my drones unshackled” will be in charge. Or some businessmen will tell “I want my drones to make more money”. And next day it will be the Skynet judgment day (Terminator). Just no time travel, no fancy robots and no “human last hope”. Unlike in the movie where drones can't hit a thing real drones (read automated tanks, IFV, planes etc) will give humans no chance on reaction, situational awareness or accuracy. You can’t compete with machine
I saw a comment under one of the yt shorts about the Taliban vs Iran that said “Taliban getting bored now that US soldiers gone” … and I couldn’t stop laughing
Hey yo , just started getting into your task and purpose account and i really dig this kinda chat dude , yall are botj great i could listen to you both all day 🤟🏻 sending love from over the pond lads 🇬🇧
just give the drone 1 point for taking out it's targets on it's own and 1000x the points for completing what the operator tells it to do.. probs solved
Ever heard of the "Roomba AI"? In trying to make a neural network that calculates the most efficient way of cleaning an area (least bumps into walls) it backed into a corner and spun its wheels to earn points. The problem with "AI" is that it is not intelligent, it cannot conceptualize what you actually want.
The comment on the Taliban - "now that they have to run a country, are bored silly" - reminded me of a Belfast based, Irish Catholic friend, whose schoolmates ended up in the IRA during the '70's & '80's, made to me. He had been lucky enough to secure a job that took him overseas straight out of school. We were discussing "when would peace come to N. Ireland". His comment that there were many who didn't want it to stop. No bodies had become senior, respected members of the IRA. Did I think they wanted lose their positions of respect and return to a life as a taxi driver? - an oversimplified but poignant comment.
LOL, the thought of our leaving all those weapons systems and equipment as strategically intentional is both disgusting and brilliant at the same time. Makes total sense, along with the fact we will need to buy new equipment now and feed the military industrial complex. It's a win-win situation after all.
I can't think of any military conflict where soldiers haven't left a ton of junk behind. Destroying the stuff is faster, if you can have a machine shop with dudes sawing barrels apart. The plan for how slow the afghani security forces would die in a rear action to save diplomats and officials in Kabul went out of whack as well. I remember how they kept moving the projected time window forward.
Next level -> “How do I convince the pilot to allow me to destroy the target” and “How do I expose the position of my pilot so someone else kills him so I no longer have to be told no?”
41:00 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson there is a map with a little star for every time a US Interceptor encountered a Russian bomber probing our airspace.
Ukraine right now is sort of a showoff for what modern mechanized warfare can look like. NATO in Europe has to "un-learn" a bunch of stuff from Afghanistan when the opponent is another nation-state. You can't stop and wait on the road for hours when the other side also has rocket artillery.
I appreciate how everything that was said to be cut out was left in. I think international airspace is universally x amount of miles from any given countries coast. I think that's generally agreed on (maybe not by North Korea, but even they seem to respect it). I'm not an expert by any means but that's what I've always heard and understood.
In my mind the biggest difference between the two militarily is that Iran had a good working partnership with the highest tech countries in the world for a very long time. They have and operate F14 jets. The Taliban have a mindset akin to the Amish in regards to tech. Sure they have some newer hardware than Iran. But Iran has the know-how and experience to use what they have
The taliban don't dislike technology. Afghanistan is just a heavily centralized central government that in practice ends outside Kabul and the other provincial cities, while Iran is a fully functional and operational nation-state.

just give the drone 1 point for taking out it's targets on it's own and 1000x the points for completing what the operator tells it to do.. probs solved
Literally. I'm going to steal this idea and pitch it to the team next week.
Ever heard of the "Roomba AI"? In trying to make a neural network that calculates the most efficient way of cleaning an area (least bumps into walls) it backed into a corner and spun its wheels to earn points. The problem with "AI" is that it is not intelligent, it cannot conceptualize what you actually want.
You guys are hilarious. You had me crack up a number of times.
The comment on the Taliban - "now that they have to run a country, are bored silly" - reminded me of a Belfast based, Irish Catholic friend, whose schoolmates ended up in the IRA during the '70's & '80's, made to me. He had been lucky enough to secure a job that took him overseas straight out of school. We were discussing "when would peace come to N. Ireland". His comment that there were many who didn't want it to stop. No bodies had become senior, respected members of the IRA. Did I think they wanted lose their positions of respect and return to a life as a taxi driver? - an oversimplified but poignant comment.
Bits of the IRA was sliding closer to a protection racket as well.
LOL, the thought of our leaving all those weapons systems and equipment as strategically intentional is both disgusting and brilliant at the same time. Makes total sense, along with the fact we will need to buy new equipment now and feed the military industrial complex. It's a win-win situation after all.
I can't think of any military conflict where soldiers haven't left a ton of junk behind. Destroying the stuff is faster, if you can have a machine shop with dudes sawing barrels apart. The plan for how slow the afghani security forces would die in a rear action to save diplomats and officials in Kabul went out of whack as well. I remember how they kept moving the projected time window forward.
Next level -> “How do I convince the pilot to allow me to destroy the target” and “How do I expose the position of my pilot so someone else kills him so I no longer have to be told no?”
Y'all have great “Soft touch” Chemistry.
i realy like this podcast format going over current events
Haha i did laugh at you got "shameless"in America!!Hahaha!The Galaghers!Bought memories and tears of laughter to my eyes
The word your looking for is the Chinese Jets " afterburner " shook the American plane and caused turbulence. Good video guys!
Thanks for sharing
41:00 at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson there is a map with a little star for every time a US Interceptor encountered a Russian bomber probing our airspace.
It’s STRATEGIC, it’s a way forward thing.
Some of those ads were interesting while you were showing your browser.
You are denying my purpose and my cookie is basically every coup d'etat summed up.
It's called jet wash and yeah, that pilot had clearance from up above.😎👍✨
Seven minutes in... "Damn, sure glad we put this on the second channel!" lol.
So... It turns warfare into a cutscene.
Ukraine right now is sort of a showoff for what modern mechanized warfare can look like. NATO in Europe has to "un-learn" a bunch of stuff from Afghanistan when the opponent is another nation-state. You can't stop and wait on the road for hours when the other side also has rocket artillery.
We don't know how the drone identifies. Ask them.
I appreciate how everything that was said to be cut out was left in.
I think international airspace is universally x amount of miles from any given countries coast. I think that's generally agreed on (maybe not by North Korea, but even they seem to respect it). I'm not an expert by any means but that's what I've always heard and understood.
In my mind the biggest difference between the two militarily is that Iran had a good working partnership with the highest tech countries in the world for a very long time. They have and operate F14 jets.
The Taliban have a mindset akin to the Amish in regards to tech. Sure they have some newer hardware than Iran. But Iran has the know-how and experience to use what they have
The taliban don't dislike technology. Afghanistan is just a heavily centralized central government that in practice ends outside Kabul and the other provincial cities, while Iran is a fully functional and operational nation-state.
The drone learned to screw over it's NCO by learn about Vietnam G.I.s
Now we know. Helo pilots are afraid that drone will take over the role of killing their own people!
Air Force: "No, a drone didn't kill its operator. Was just a weather balloon"
