Okay. I guess we at least agree on the facts.

You are giving the company a huge amount of benefit of doubt and I don't understand why. May I ask: If it was Elon Musk's xAI/Grok rather than Anthropic, would your thoughts on this change? How about if it was Yandex making the AI and the school was in Ukraine?

It wouldn't change anything and I'm confused as to why you think it would and why you think I'm "giving a huge amount of benefit of doubt".

I'm just pointing at what we know, what we don't know and what you are just making up.

Facts:

  • Anthropic supplies some AI system to Maven
  • Maven analyzes data and determine bombing targets

My conclusion: Anthropic's AI is in the US military's kill chain which killed 120 children.

Your conclusion: The LLM did not directly target the school. We don't know how it was used. It was also not there from the beginning so probably not probably part of the "core system."

That's not my conclusion, that's just mostly coming from the Guardian article. I say mostly because you're missing one part, we know how the LLM is used.

That's why I'm asking you to source your "conclusion".
