We all knew Trump was lying when he claimed Iran blew up their own school, but now we have the photos showing a US cruise missile hitting the site. The same type of cruise missile is featured in social media posts by the US, being fired from a ship on the same day.

So yeah, somebody who is probably in their early 20s gets to live with the knowledge that they pushed that button, while a raging asshole posted about it on social media, and of course, almost 160 children died.

@mcnado I suspect some reliance on highly inaccurate AI systems (which apparently tend to recommend war without conscience).

@Crystal_Fish_Caves @mcnado Quote from WSJ on the Iran conflict "AI tools are helping gather intelligence, pick targets, plan bombing missions and assess battle damage at speeds not previously possible. AI helps commanders manage supplies of everything from ammunition to spare parts and lets them choose the best weapon for each objective."

@IncHulk @Crystal_Fish_Caves @mcnado I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that the LLM picked the coordinates based on faulty Google maps labeling. It's so common for things to be labeled incorrectly as being a block or two away from where they actually are (esp in places with limited data input). Someone probably said "Give me a list of all places labeled "barracks"" and the LLM read through the metadata and said "Here you go! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with 😉"
