    I can only recommend this article - it goes through what happened in history towards everything that happened to the targeting of that school - mainly speeding up the process from target identification to strike, and the cutting out of humans of the decisionmaking process, powered by Peter Thiel’s Palantir.

    AI can’t be responsible because it doesn’t make decisions or think like the slop propaganda anthropomorphizing it would trick you into believing. It’s a prediction machine, guessing the next tokens. Whoever made the call to pull the trigger or hand that control to an autonomous device holds the blame.

    Palantir is evil af. We are getting very close to our extinction. Only if people could just chill out and not need to control and kill everyone and rape and murder, we’d be so much better. Humanity is diseased.

      We aren’t going extinct. What will happen is billions of deaths and everyone on earth suffering greatly. Extinction is a naive fear compared to the real horrors in our future.

      Instead of spreading doom and gloom, why not live by your nonviolent words and be vegan, and encourage others to do the same?

    … they’ve hit more schools since the first one. These monsters don’t even bother with believable lies.

    The wildest thing about this is using Palantir to make targeting decisions and then automating the destruction from the sky. Wasn’t this the plot of Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

      Yes. it was. Funnily enough, of all the Marvel crap they produced, the Captain America movies really held up well, and actually were expressing that automating a kill chain is something only evil people would do. Sadly, that was very true, although the kill potential isn’t there yet.

    And yet you will never hear the 2A crowd chant the implied variant of their favorite mantra, “AI doesn’t kill people; people kill people.” 🙄

    The NDAs and TS/SCI labels are going to obfuscate the decision chain to the point that culpability won’t be able to be established at all.
