They asked an LLM for military targets and are shocked it hallucinated one at the site of a school.

There has never been a technology so readily capable of erasing intelligence and reason.

@twipped Which is really weird, because it goes against the usual grain of the pattern. The Bolsheviks, in particular, were extremely fond of micromanaging everything personally. The Original Nazis seem to have been a bit more willing to delegate, but still micromanaged heavily.

@theartlav Maybe it has something to do with a combination of desiring the æsthetics of being a mighty war general and also desiring to not do any work of generaling a war, which is hard.

We might conclude wars get innocent people killed. Assholes get medals.
