I’m guessing there won’t be a lot of Palmer Luckey fans among the commenters here
What does this mean? I know he has a weaponry startup, Anduril, that has some Palantir financial ties. But I don't see the connection in the article.

#32I'm really curious to understand why this was done and why it was necessary. I cannot imagine the AI was used to identify targets without any base information. ie, I imagine the military already had a list of targets and locations. How would the AI know from satellite imagery that something was a military target. If that's the case, why did they need help selecting targets? I can only imagine that the military bases…
My guess is to keep the US economy going.
You mean the immediate personal macroeconomy of a very specific subset of the US political class?

#33If it has good enough capacity for the military it is very possible we are receiving dumbed down / nerfed versions of Claude.
good enough capacity as in killing >100 kids in school

That website is broken on mobile and I can’t even scroll to see the source

#35How are they ensuring 0 hallucinations?
This is basically impossible. The answer is that the hallucinations probably led to mass deaths

#38But how? The models are thick as shit. They can regurgitate existing knowledge, but it’s not like Iran and its military installations are publicly documented. And you can’t trust any decision it makes if you feed it the information, because it just makes up answers. It has no actual intelligence.

If you ask me, its the job insecurity and the culture we have around in the sense of hustle culture where ethics are lost.
My generation feels more replacable than ever and this leads to ethics being lost. Ethics can be diluted very easily if you make people wonder about food on the table.
I am in school and ethics aren't an concern when we discuss and I am not sure treating it as a subject could help either. Perhaps but I do feel at some point, it has to have with people feeling a sense of job security.
As a society as well, we have to probably do something to reward ethics. Especially when not following ethics sometimes leads to so much financial gains.
To me, the way I see it, people sometimes start doing immoral things because they have to put food on the table and then greed takes over.
But that being said, I am not sure how job insecurity/this culture can be fixed by a single measure but I just wanted to point out that there's more nuance to it. The only way to meaningfully solve is with having discussions on this topic and having actual change take place.
We feel like we go grease ourselves in studies and try to get a job and even when we do but many of us are still not able to afford a house at times :<

The school was a seperate building so targeting or weapon precision was pretty sloppy. The shift toward war crime whataboutism is a new low for HN, capping off a week of aggressive warmongering and intellectualized cruelty in every comment thread about Iran.
