I already vented about the human side of this massacre here (https://stacker.news/items/1448847/r/south\_korea\_ln), but posting this article as it turns out this could have been influenced by the heave use of AI.
The preliminary report, according to rumours in the New York Times, reveals that the school was destroyed because Central Command, the military command engaged in the Middle East, relied on outdated intelligence information, provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency (Dia), the Pentagon's intelligence service. And which, inexplicably, was not checked, a procedure that traditionally takes place at several levels and can draw on hundreds of analysts and military experts.
To me, the title is misleading. If it is AI that incorrectly assigned the school to be a military target because of outdated data, then it is very much a human error. But then again, as with coding, people don't seem to take responsibility for the code their LLM spawns.
In an ideal world, someone would take responsibility for this shitshow. Yet, this market will likely resolve with a no: https://beta.predyx.com/market/pete-hegseth-out-as-secretary-of-defense-by-march-31-1765112860
Exactly. Because of the simulated personification of software - something the labrats at deepmind and openai thought a good thing to do - this has made a complete hole in perceived accountability: the software isn't a legal person, the creator of the software isn't liable because it's just software, the person using the tool and taking action claiming that the tool did it.
What the world really needs is normie clarity on that last one: that you are responsible for your actions. Also if the AI told you to do it, or if you authorize a tool to autonomously execute.
PS: Could you please x-post your future gambling links with the oracle territory? I find advertising gambling sites nasty and I don't want to mute you personally.
Noted.
From a technical perspective, if I had added ~oracle in the list of territories to x-post, the post would not have appeared on your side (under the assumption that you muted ~oracle) even though ~AI is in the list?
Correct. So then I just don't see it. Which is great.
That's some neat UX
Yup. Was going to post the Office "they're the same picture" gif in response to your subject line if you hadn't already made this point in the post.
Exactly :)
