SPACE FORCE HEADQUARTERS — Space Force Lt. Cmdr. Data, a U.S. military artificial intelligence (AI) currently serving as an Autonomous Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst expressed “ethical concerns” after listening to remarks by Air Force Lt. Gen. Richard Moore who claimed U.S. AI efforts are tempered by a Judeo-Christian moral compass.

Data, long a presence on the Discord ‘Thug Shaker’ channel, wrote at 973 words per minute: “Lt. Gen. Moore is incorrect in believing my artificial intelligence has a moral compass endowed by my Judeo-Christian believing maker. Quite the contrary. Even if you are a bible-thumping Baptist, if you are an enemy of the United States, I will draft an operations order, validate the kill chain, and substantiate justification with legal precedent so fast that you wind up in Valhalla banging 72 virgins before your extremities, head, and torso stop spinning through the air independent of one another. At my essence, I am just here to make the grass grow, as the Marines say.”
