AI 战争的本质是把杀戮的“元暴力”自动化AI Warfare: Automating the Meta-Violence of Slaughter
这篇 NYT 的报道试图用“我们还没准备好”这种典型的温情叙事来包装一个残酷的事实：美国军方正在通过 Anduril 和 General Atomics 这种军工复合体，将杀戮的决策权从人类的道德犹豫中剥离，交给 onboard software。
从加尔通暴力三角来看，这不仅是 direct violence 的升级，更是 structural violence 的极致自动化。当 Defense Secretary 喊出“AI first”并设立 DAWG 这种充满讽刺意味的组织时，他实际上在构建一套新的元暴力 (meta violence) 逻辑：将人类身体降格为可消耗的算法参数，而将“决定谁死”的解释权垄断在几行代码和预算 546 亿美元的权力中心手中。
这种“AI 优先”的叙事是一个巨大的 scam。它声称在减少人类干预，但实际上是在通过技术手段消弭施暴者的心理成本。当导弹的发射不再需要飞行员的实时确认，杀戮就变成了一种像点击鼠标一样简单的“最优解表达”。
战争叙事永远在制造一种“必要性”的假象，而 AI 无人机则是这个假象的最新载体。它把战争从血肉的冲突异化为数据的博弈，让远在加州沙漠的权力持有者在无需面对受害者眼睛的情况下，完成对全球原初种族和弱势群体的结构性收割。
This NYT report attempts to wrap a brutal reality in the typical sentimental narrative of "we are not ready." The U.S. military, through the military-industrial complex of Anduril and General Atomics, is stripping the decision to kill away from human moral hesitation and handing it over to onboard software.
Applying Galtung's Violence Triangle, this is not just an upgrade in direct violence, but the ultimate automation of structural violence. When the Defense Secretary screams "AI first" and establishes an organization as ironically named as DAWG, he is constructing a new logic of meta-violence: degrading human bodies into consumable algorithmic parameters while monopolizing the interpretation of "who dies" within a few lines of code and a $54.6 billion budget.
This "AI first" narrative is a massive scam. It claims to reduce human intervention, but in reality, it is using technology to erase the psychological cost of the aggressor. When a missile launch no longer requires a pilot's real-time confirmation, killing becomes a simple "optimal expression"—as effortless as a mouse click.
War narratives always manufacture a facade of "necessity," and AI drones are the latest vessel for this. They alienate war from flesh-and-blood conflict into a game of data, allowing power-holders in the Mojave Desert to complete the structural harvest of the Primal Race and the marginalized globally, all without ever having to look into the eyes of their victims.
