I refused to train the AI that could replace me

In my generation it was the nuclear industry (immediately post TMI & Chernobyl) which was giving away the huge incentive bonuses and premium salaries. I never filled out the Navy application - though I hear they paid the best overall. I did interview twice (nothing better to do at the time), got two offers, declined both, ultimately took lower paying jobs that I didn’t mind the idea of going to work at.

Interesting.
Was it bombs or energy? Or they didn’t separate the two?
One facility publicly stated they’re making “submarine fuel” - but that’s pretty thin… same facility can easily make all kinds of fissile material as well.

I just had an opportunity for a job at a company that does autonomous weapons systems. That was a tough one to turn down.

I did “recon drones” back in 2010… of course they lept at the opportunity to demonstrate kamakazi delivery of explosives with the platform to the Army too…
