In the final days of February, the Trump ~~administration~~ demanded an overwhelming aerial assault. More than 1,000 Iranian targets were hit within the first 24 hours alone. That order compressed the time frame for finalizing targets, the officials said, instilling an urgency that — combined with gaps in underlying information about the site, cuts in civilian-protection personnel and an overreliance on artificial-intelligence technology — set the stage for the deadly error.

Ah so the head pedophile in charge demanded something unreasonable, so they cut all the corners they could and ended up killing 123 children. Super cool. This is AI's fault because....? That site had been operating as a school for a decade. They can't blame flawed intelligence, it was their own gross negligence and lack of review.

You remember how DOGE cut a bunch of government funding by random keyword searches? And they ended up banning super important research into using gene editing as a life-saving tool because the work was being done on transgenic mice? And they searched "trans" and then defunded it?

So this is like that, except instead of funding being cut, they murdered 123 children.

trump should rot in prison till he dies.

I was just following ~~orders~~ AI.

AI can only replicate what it has seen before, so fucking obviously it would blow up a bunch of kids you collection of bewilderingly in charge bonobos unconvincingly wearing suits.

The underlying problem is that nobody will ever be sent to the Hague for trial.

“It was . . . the AI! The AI did it! Yeah! . . . that’s the ticket!”

reporter: So simple human error?

Mike: Yes, exactly.

reporter: Which human?

Mike: Several, uh, separate humans.

Hey look because of AI, piracy and murder is now legal and ok.

Criminal Negligence for everyone involved

Forced birthers cry about women having control over their own bodies but elect a guy that turned 123 children into little bits of charred flesh.

Yes, had they done it the old fashioned way, they could have killed far more school children as per American policy.

I suspect that everyone in here complaining about AI didn't actually read the article.

The article states that Palantir's Maven system was over-relied on, and compressed a process that would have taken months into one that took days, but it also points out that that Maven didn't actually make a mistake based on the way it was supposed to operate.

It sounds like some military personnel were mistaken in how much vetting and revetting maven itself would do, but the article also lays much of the blame at Hegseth's gutting of the civilian harm roles, and failures in intelligence vetting and gathering that fed into maven in the first place. Years ago US intelligence personnel had flagged that Minab had turned into a school, but that information was not in the database used by maven.

Like I have no doubt that Maven is part of the problem, but it sounds like it was far from the only part.

Now everyone involved is going to jail, right? …. RIGHT?

So Palantir / Peter theil don’t get any mention? They are ones supplying the system for the military no?

So who is ultimately responsible? AI isn’t something like an unfortunate mechanical failure (though even than someone bears responsibility). If the government is using AI for targeting military attacks, it sure better understand every single risk associated and be ready to swallow every ounce of responsibility. You don’t get to say “AI messed up, oops” and move on. You told the machine what to do, so you’re responsible. Every one of those school girls’ blood is on your hands.

If anyone tried for murder can't use the same excuse and get away with it, then neither should they.

Lies! It was not and cannot be AI:

1- Triple strike . 2- It was of the first attacks of the first day. 3- in an isolated city far from Tahran. 4- It was followed by bombing kids gymnasium,

AND reminder 5- The US original plan was to deliver decapitative strikes! It was meant to be few weeks and specific targets. So the girl school was a chosen target among the decapitative strikes of first day.

So they definately intentionally chose that target and had all the time to plan their sneak "decapitative" strikes which were done during negotations on the first hours of first day!
They wanted to hurt the IRGC commanders by slaughtering their daughters that way they create a shock and a motive for the commanders to stop following orders and choose to overthrow their government.

The same thing when they drowned 120 military graduate cadetes in an unarmed warship that just came out of a joint excersie thousands of miles away in the Indian sea where the US military also participated in! So 1- they knew it was unarmed, and knew these were graduate trainees. None of them were decision makers or high-value targets.

and 2- They wanted to kill them not only destroy their ship to degrade their government military capabilities and assets because they intentionally did not rescue any of them afterward.

Who pressed the button?

Wow, now we can pin war crimes on artificial intelligence instead of commanders.

Im so relieved. I thought we'd have to blame someone for killing over 100 children

"You see everyone, it wasn't an evil action that we did to terrorize a group of people"

They even refer to it in this article as a "military targeting error" no. This is propaganda.

Meh, I was having an argument with a coworker recently about AI's evils, and all the doomsayers and apoca-hype profiteering that the big AI companies do. I think this article lays out more plainly what the risks of AI are in terms of ending the human race, than any of the claude-cult stock pumpers that come forward.

It won't be some AGI super intelligence that ascends and then does away with humanity. It'll be some random military sorts who get a prompt, and trigger a huge conflict / disaster based on bullshit fed to them from an AI. The AI won't even do it 'intentionally', it'll just be a convincing enough marionette's lie, fed to a low enough IQ, to open fire.

Golly, I've lived long enough to see the US become a rogue nation. Isn't it time for the CIA to foment a revolution so they can install democracy?

flawed intelligence, in the FBI? how did they figure that one out?

Can you imagine not even bothering to plan your first strike on a country that your military has deemed too powerful to attack for some time?

Can you imagine abandoning your old planning techniques for a totally novel technique and getting the exact same results of bombing civilians directly?

Can you imagine claiming it was a targeting error and then double tapping it?

This is incredible reporting

I've suspected for a while now that the US admin has just been vibing with AI this whole time to make their decisions.

There is no AI. That was the first mistake. Thinking that there is.

I asked chatgpt what were viable targets in a preemptive strike for a war to distract from the fact that the president is a pedophile, what happened next will blow you away.
