Further reporting on the Pentagon review describes the strike as resulting from a series of smaller failures rather than one catastrophic decision, identifying multiple missed opportunities to prevent it.
“The strike didn't result from a single catastrophic decision but an accumulation of smaller ones, they said, and their review has identified a series of missed opportunities to prevent the disaster.”

SCOTUS doesn't (or isn't supposed to) write the law; and the way federal law is written, that's the only reasonable interpretation. (states often have their own obscenity laws though) If it's not a real identifiable minor, it's not against federal law; so, for example erotic art of 'Harry Potter' as a minor would be legal, but not of 'Daniel…

Bloomberg: Pentagon investigators have discovered that flawed intelligence, outdated imagery and an overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab, Iran.

AI is good for repeating things that have already been done, because it has actual examples trained into it. Having current AI to do things that have no precedent, like plan an attack on Iran or create 'tariffs that eliminate trade deficits' is how we end up bombing schools and tariffing penguins on an uninhabited island.

Pentagon blames AI for drone strike that killed at least 123 Iranian schoolchildren.

Ouais c'est à cause l'IA, pas du criminel Trump. C'est pas non plus sa faute s'il a trempé sa nouille dans des enfants. Sans doute aussi la faute de l'IA.

Ai isn’t dangerous if you have a good president I’ve heard. USA have a president obviously dangerous to kids. Even before Iran.
-
I'm sure it's just coincidence that after Palantir AI was reportedly used for target selection in Iran, the Palantir CEO is asking for government protection against future liability claims.

A school in a building that used to be part of the military base next door, and was hit during an attack on said base.

Oh really? Explain the second strike that killed first responders and the parents that rushed to the scene.

Anyone who listens to AI should be held accountable. They should also be publicly ridiculed as morons.

One of the first bombs dropped in Trumps' chosen war with Iran hit an elementary school, killing nearly 200 children and teachers. They returned 40 minutes and bombed the same school as emergency crews were franticly searching for survivors. AI use or not, this was a war crime.
-
It hasn't been a military barracks since 2010-2013. You can google it for that information.
-
The problem with this report is that all the professionals who would have had eyes on this data created by the AI were fired at the beginning of the war, who is to that they didn’t warned the admin of the information
-
They can dissect this forever; Trump said the way to win a war was to go after the other guys’ family. This wasn’t a mistake.
-
this is a War Crime, not a "disaster" (passive)
-
And those drugged out ghouls that “lead” Palantir spoke at length with GLEE about their killing capabilities. They made one of those idiots a lt colonel in our army FFS
-
It certainly seems as though bombing a school classifies as a war crime. It seems the cause was due to a lack of caution and care in choosing targets that could have been easily avoided if the job was treated with the necessary respect. Those commanding cutting corners should be held accountable.
-
I know this administration is dumb as fuck. But I thought there would at least be some higher ups that had the sense to not use AI for literally anything. AI is generally two things: fast and wrong. Sometimes it’s not fast, and sometimes it’s not wrong. But usually, it’s both.

Please reconsider your wording. "AI kills children" is the abstraction Alex Karp wants to see, Protecting Palantir from headlines that read "Alex Karp & Palentir kill children" AI is a class of products promoted by companies now seeking plausible deniability from horrific & predictable outcomes.

There is such a strange disconnect on the left. The same people will post something attacking data centers and then post a stupid AI image or video that was entirely generated in a data center. AI stands for everything the left should be against.
