Buy a defense ai system with a cool GUI but that absolutely doesn't fucking work

Leave the source code+model weights somewhere that your enemies will find it, preferably next to a big data pipe
Watch them copy it and try to use it on the battlefield
lol
Just have to avoid naming it something that would give the game away like WIM-PLOW or whatever
