The latest shocking news about the war comes to us from an oath statement As reported by Pentagon AI chief Cameron Stanley IndependentAnd this revelation paints a worrying picture about the future of culpability in relation to state-sponsored violence.
xAI claims data centers are in evidence submitted to defend Elon Musk against a lawsuit harming poor, black communities As with its emissions, Stanley defended the continued operation of polluting facilities, calling it “a matter of paramount national security.” Their statement attempts to justify the claim that the perennially controversial chatbot – which is known for referring to itself as “”.mechahitlerand being reprogrammed flattering elon-It was used during the recent attacks on Iran to “fire more than 2,000 munitions at 2,000 different targets within 96 hours.”
While this administration has unwavering support for the AI industry despite the US population This leads to more hatred This is a scam in itself, given the US military’s adoption of the budding technology through Palantir’s Maven Smart System (MSS) and now, apparently, Grok is its own nightmare scenario. as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in januaryThe US “will become an ‘AI-first’ fighting power in all domains.” Less than half a year later, it looks like they delivered on their promise, but at a tremendous cost.
On the first day of Operation Epic Fury, a Tomahawk missile struck the Shajrah Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing 175 people, mostly children. avoided taking responsibility As long as possible. after a military investigation Confirmed that the US was indeed the party responsible for the genocide blamed Anthropic’s LLM “cloud” on “old targeting data” was used to order the strike.
but while op-ed columnist And military expert Having rightly warned against allowing hallucinogenic AI models to decide which human lives should be snuffed out, the Trump administration is not wavering on its initial plan, which it believes will deliver results just as lethal as they are deadly. And while we do not (yet) know where Grok sent those 2,000 missiles, we should take the revelation of that fact as a serious warning about the consensus this regime is attempting to build for a world where blame for material damage caused by those in power can never be placed on them.
What could be a better example of that growing sentiment than Musk’s own reaction to an article last week The Verge In which he was called a murderer and depicted the death and suffering inherent in becoming the world’s first billionaire.
“if I were [a killer]The Verge’s douchebags would have been dead a long time ago,” Musk posted on In reply.
It is probably safe to assume the known keyboard warrior like musk, Known for backpedaling The second seems to suggest that the conflict may actually take place offline, never looking anyone in the eye and ending one’s life in person. But in the future this person with unlimited money and power is helping create – where AI can do the dirty work autonomously, leaving the hands and conscience of the human who lets it do it clean – does that “killer” difference even matter?
