"The immediate theory is that the AI program included the
school’s position based on older, archived intelligence.
The logic behind the launch, and the mechanics of who
authorized it is unclear."
Is this a "We don't know what's in the black box" scenario?
I bet Anthropic has logs of whatever prompt was used to determine targeting the girls elementary school and can find out if they were directly responsible for their deaths through AI.
Funny how Anthropic's press team has been working overtime to ensure the public they're the AI on the right side of history, yet that's anything further than the truth...
This is NO error buddy! These are all intentional and surgically planned atrocities.
israel has done the same thing over and over in Gaza - bombing and double striking schools, universities, hospitals, aid-workers indiscriminately. Now they are doing the same thing in Iran. Also, it is not just a one time incident. In fact, israeli terrorists in conjunction with Americans just bombed the 6th elementary/primary school in Iran just yesterday!
The crimes of israel and America can’t be sugarcoated anymore. We are not living in 50s, this is 21st century!
This is not an "AI error". This is a human decision to use known unreliable AI for waging war, in full knowledge that civilian death is an inevitable consequence.
If you decide your strike locations using a pair of dice, it's not a "dice error" when you blow up a school.

This could be the feeler for a full-on buck-passing.
The first refuge of a scoundrel is to blame someone else. "We didn't kill those kids. Faulty AI did it." A "perfect" setup. Or do you believe in a string of 10 accidental coincidences?

[ 0.18 ms ] story [ 42.4 ms ] threadThe one side will claim unintentional target, scapegoating the AI in the process.
The other side will claim the AI is a scapegoat.
Both sides can be true at the same time, regardless of whether it was intentional, AI error or human error.
There is literally no information about the site, who runs it, the writers etc.
There are no named sources in the story. It is, however "an exclusive".
Huh.
People believe for some reason that the AI is 99.99% correct and the warning not to trust it too much is just legalese.

Guess that's hint enough that this outfit is garbage and not reputable. Flagged and added to domain block lists.
