BeepIran war shows how AI speeds up military ‘kill chains’
[deleted]The term “kill chain” reduces the slaughter of human beings to an engineering problem. It tacitly admits that modern militaries are murder factories. If we had caught ISIS or a drug cartel speaking and thinking this way, that would be a Fox News headline for months. What a dispiriting bit of jargon. It tells so much more than it says.
Finally a productive use case! Sucks at most stuff but it turns out it’s really good at helping kill people. Finally time for these companies to cash in on a tangible application.
I mean, pattern recognition in insanely large datasets is exactly what AI systems we have today are good at, which is also what the article talks about, and the issues and risks this poses in a war. yes, in a military context it enables tactical decisions to be made faster, and war kills people so not really a big eye opener there, however still horrible.
But this ability to analyze datasets that are basically too large for humans to efficiently condense to something meaningful is still valuable in many other aspect outside of military, killing and surveillance (although this is where it is used most extensively it seems)
ah yes engineering mass murder aka nazi shit
Yet they still bombed a school because the building had been part of a Revolutionary Guard headquarters 13 years ago, and they’d never got around to updating their intelligence after the buildings were (visible on satellite images) separated and the guard towers knocked down before 2016.
🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞Sounds to me like two different systems - one that uses older data gathering and they just didn’t update it, and the one they’re talking about involves footage from assets flying over the country, waiting to be directed to strike.
They both have major flaws, just different ones. IMHO / speculation
Joanie ParkerI love that you two think the idiots in charge didn’t know it was a school.
