Alexandr Wang, 28, founded Scale AI in 2016, and he is now worth billions.
Scale AI is credibly accused of cheating and exploiting human coders who hand-label billions of images and texts used for training generative AIs.
Scale AI is backed by massive military contractor Amazon and the ubiquitous military AI investor Peter Thiel.
Born in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Wang is a vocal AI war hawk who posits that China poses an existential threat to US dominance in artificial intelligence.
His company holds a substantial portfolio of Department of Defense contracts focused on developing weapons to attack China.
In March, the Pentagon’s AI venture capital arm, Defense Innovation Unit, contracted with Scale AI to create a weaponized AI called Thunderforge to
conduct AI-powered wargaming to anticipate and respond to evolving threats. … Thunderforge’s integration across multiple security domains ensures that AI-driven planning capabilities will be securely embedded into real-world military operations.
Initially deployed in the US Indo-Pacific and European Commands,
Thunderforge marks a decisive shift toward AI-powered, data-driven warfare, ensuring that U.S. forces can anticipate and respond to threats with speed and precision. Following its initial deployment, Thunderforge will be scaled across combatant commands.
Thunderforge integrates Scale AI’s customized military databases with Microsoft’s Defense Llama product and Anduril’s array of autonomous weapons systems to run battle training simulations and to fight real-life wars.
Thunderforge is an element in the jerry-rigged Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control effort to create a centralized, globally controllable battlespace. The multibillion-dollar “CJADC2” is a Rube Goldberg-type system composed of “stove-piped” AI programs that cannot communicate with each other, according to federal auditors.

Shall we play a game?
