Had a minor panic; I got to a final stage of an interview for a company called "Lavender AI". They were doing email automation stuff, but seeing the noun "Lavender" and "AI" in combination with "bombing" made me think that they might have been part of something horrible.

ETA:

I wonder if this is going to ruin their SEO...it might be worth a rebrand.

There is no justification for killing noncombatants, even if AI told you you could.

The use of AI and the authorisation to kill civilians are unrelated parts of this story. Nowhere does it mention that the AI is being used to justify killing of civilians.

Yeah, because they need to spell out what they're trying to have you infer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Should have the ability to turn off comments for these.

HN exists for us to comment on articles. The majority of comments are from folks who didn't even read the article (and that's fine). Turning off comments makes as much sense as just posting the heading and no link or attribution.

Well, this post is surely going to get removed because of flaming in comments, so, which is better, post with no comments, or no post at all?
