Human negligence killed 170+ schoolgirls in Iran - not an 'AI problem' Источник: https://drlou.substack.com/p/human-negligence-killed-170-schoolgirls ============================================================ AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying This is a long piece but absolutely excellent and I highly recommend it. Free Thinking is a reader-supported publication.

The article makes tragically clear the incredible risk that irresponsible and presumptive use of AI can - and will - generate. It demonstrates yet another layer of LIES whereby AI becomes an excuse for human incompetence, recklessness and neglect. AI demonstrates how easy it is (to attempt) to turn the incredible ignorance and lawlessness of Trump’s Iran War of Epstein Choice into a technology problem rather than the gross political failure of Trump, the Executive Branch and the GOP Congress The death of 170+ schoolchildren came out of a process by which the military has sought to reduce the time needed for the so identified ‘kill chain’ with increased reliance on their AI model and less on human interaction and decision making. By the 1990s the air force had stretched it to find, fix, track, target, engage, assess, or F2T2EA. Every generation of military technology has been sold on the promise of making everything about kill chains shorter, except for the acronyms. The school which was targeted was close to a neighboring Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility but had been separated from the IRGC buildings for awhile. The school was hit most likely due to outdated intelligence information which had never been revised After Google abandoned the Maven contract, Palantir took it over in 2019. The XVIII Airborne Corps began testing the system in an exercise called Scarlet Dragon, which started in 2020 as a tabletop wargaming exercise in a windowless basement at Fort Bragg. Palantir’s Maven Smart System is the platform that came out of those exercises, and it, not Claude, is what is being used to produce “target packages” in Iran. It wasn’t an AI induced event or an ‘AI problem’ that killed over 170 school girls in Iran at the start of Trump’s Epstein war of choice, but human failure to update widely available data which could have been easily done so simply by checking Google Maps. Share Despite ongoing and still evolving human hallucinations, AI is not sentient and will not be anytime soon. Repeated stories of people ‘falling in love’ with their AI is truly nuts. Being able to hold a ‘conversation’ with an AI generator is one thing - thinking it is a ‘friend’ can indicate mental health needs Even a more advanced AI which is able to hold an interactive and ‘empathetic’ conversation with a human is still only the result of a massive LLM correlational model with advanced algorithmic controls in place. AI is not human. AI is not ‘thoughtful’ or remotely self aware but is a computer With this, AI must absolutely not be used for ‘autonomous’ military actions especially under conditions of War. Highly competent and well-trained humans must remain actively part of the system and the so identified military ‘kill chain.’ A resulting error, like the murder of 170 school girls, was because a human failed to update openly and publicly available maps. It was because a human first failed to collect needed up to date data. And, for the record, Claude had absolutely nothing to do with it Free Thinking is a reader-supported publication.
