Wasn’t Hegseth pretty clear that the logic behind murdering Iranian children was to prove that he isn’t “woke”?

Indeed. We all know, just based on his proclamation of support for terrorizing the Iranian people the other day, that the US is perfectly willing to target and kill entire schools full of children.

Killing 150+ elementary school girls was no accident. Do not let them get away with claiming it was an "error". They purposely targeted an elementary school filled with little girls to kill them.

This resolves nothing.

The 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.

It’s an online-only local news site/blog for Worcester, MA. Seemingly all stories are credited to two writers.

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.

"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?

It is a way to absolve responsibility

Companies are spending billions so they can say the dog ate their homework.

What's up with sites detecting adblock and popping up modals so you can't even interact with the page anymore?

Firefox and Chrome on Android.

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

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...

When you choose to serve the American military, knowing both its history and the fact that it's been facilitating at least one genocide over the past few years, you can't just claim "we didn't want anything bad to happen".
