"... the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir. ...

"The target package for the Shajareh Tayyebeh school presented a military facility. ... This package looked like every other package in the queue. But outside the package, the school appeared in Iranian business listings. It was visible on Google Maps. A search engine could have found it. Nobody searched. At a thousand decisions an hour, nobody was going to. ...

"Someone decided to build a system that produces a thousand targeting decisions per hour and call them high-quality. Someone decided to start this war. Several hundred people are sitting on Capitol Hill, refusing to stop it. Calling it an “AI problem” gives those decisions, and those people, a place to hide."

@unchartedworlds I wonder if these LLMbecile pushers understand that they've now made themselves military targets? As in it would be legitimate for Iranian operatives to attack various LLM vendors' facilities, personnel and leadership as genuine military targets?

Have any of them realized this yet?
