     "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?

I suppose they are vibe-targeting now
readitalready•13m ago
I bet Anthropic has logs of whatever prompt was used to determine targeting the girls elementary school and can find out if they were directly responsible for their deaths through AI.

Wasn’t Hegseth pretty clear that the logic behind murdering Iranian children was to prove that he isn’t “woke”?
readitalready•8m ago
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.

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...

The final boss of "I don't look at the code"
lukeschlather•8m ago
So the day after the Trump admin blacklisted Anthropic for insisting they not use AI to make kill decisions, the Trump admin uses Claude to kill a bunch of schoolgirls in exactly the way Anthropic was warning them would happen. And now Anthropic is the supply chain risk for being the only people involved with the slightest bit of sense.

This resolves nothing.

The one side will claim unintentional target scapegoating the AI.

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.
