#EpicFury runs on a system called #Maven which #Google abandoned 8 yrs ago because of employee protests.

#PeterThiel took it over and built it into a military targeting infrastructure.

A Defense Intelligence database classified the #Minab building as a military facility, but failed to update when it was separated from the adjacent #IRGC compound 10 YEARS ago!

Meanwhile #Palantir speeded up Maven and embedded it into #US military infrastructure with deadly consequences

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying

LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

⬆️ >> #AI got the blame for #Iran school bombing…

Excellent example of how a #languageModel is NOT the same as #worldModel or #realTime #realWorld data.

The #Maven system that #Palantir embedded into the #US military infrastructure relies on BOTH #LLM and #realTime #realWorld data, but it cannot prevent catastrophes when there is a failure in either or both of them.

In this case, it was #staleData at the very least— possibly a faulty/imprecise language model as well.
