Fuck I hate this country.
They don’t even need AI, they have plenty of murdering dronies.
They’ve been using deliberately shitty facial recognition that claims people are terrorists based on looking like they’re related. Give that computer leeway and it’ll target anyone in the country
There’s no superintelligent ai being too smart for its handlers here
It’s crazy because the original article talks about it like it actually happened. Journalism moment.
Journalism “we don’t do that here” Sensationalism gets more clicks.
To be fair, could be journalism being bad or equally higher-ups going “you dumbass! you weren’t supposed to tell them that happened!”
great sci fi short story on the subject https://rifters.com/real/shorts/PeterWatts_Malak.pdf
Fantastic.
We trained the system: ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that.’ So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.
No real person was harmed.
